Gamer Babe: Keridwen

January 6, 2008 · Filed Under Gamer Babe, Girls

Ah yes!

The first Gamer Babe of ~~2007~~ 2008. And boy, am I proud to have been graced by another true-blooded girl gamer.

She’s 23 year old Keridwen or “Keri” to her friends and guildmates. Keri, who hails from Sydney, Australia is co-founder of Femmes Fatales, a no-nonsense all-female guild in Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC).

Keri is currently taking up her PhD in History.

Let’s take up our history lessons with her, shall we?

Keridwen’s full interview after the jump

GAMER BABE KERIDWEN

GM T: Tell me something about yourself?

Smart femme gamer who like roles playing MMOs and the idea of gaming as a community.
GM T: How did you get into gaming and online gaming?

First started playing Legend of Mir but then moved to Dark Age of Camelot, about 7 years ago. Cathula and I formed an all girl guild called “Femmes Fatales”.

GM T: What online games do you play? Why do you like it?

DAOC because of uber realm versus realm, and the three realm dynamic. I have also played Lineage 2, WoW, Guild Wars and LoTR.

GM T: What’s the best reason that you got into MMORPGs?

Virtual fantasy and community.

GM T: What do your non-gamer female friends tell you when they find out that you game?

They are mainly curious but think its crazy when they hear that people buy on-line virtual cash.

GM T: What’s your most unforgettable moment ingame?

Capturing the Hibernian relic late one night in an organized raid from Albion. Getting my epic gear for the first time at level 50.

GM T: Do you have any advice or tips for girls out there who want to try gaming?

Yes try and develop a positive image of female gamers, reject derogatory names likes “girl chicks” and “hotties”. Preferably try joining a female role playing clan, such as Femmes Fatales.

GM T: Final words for your friends, guildmates or fans?

Come and visit us all at Femmes Fatales on myspace.

She reminds me of our gunbound GM before. I wonder how I can maximize gaming time without sacrificing the quality of life. 2 hr commute everyday is killing me.
