Percentage of male vs female players

Out of curiosity, how many people that play the game are male vs how many are female? From the npcs in the game, you would think its at minimum 50/50, or even 60/40 in favor of female…when I started playing back in '05 it was probably 95/5 male/female…I know times have changed, but I cant imagine more than 20 percent of the playerbase being female…so if thats the case, why give so many roles to female npcs, to appeal to the minority of players? I dont get it. And if I am mistaken, and theres millions of women playing this game, then my apologies, and bring on the heroines lol.

Perhaps it’s not so much appealing to a current minority but encouraging others within that minority to play without feeling they wandered into the boys locker room?

From the stats I could find it looks to be about 60/40 male/female. Roughly 75% of female characters are played by female players. Women pick female characters 93% of the time, men pick female characters about 33% of the time.
