After a brief discussion, the pair decided that it would be a good idea to experience some of the combat in the game. It seemed designed to provide plenty of distractions, so if they were going to grind their way to the upper levels it seemed like a good idea to hunt a little bit of a time, spend their loot on fun stuff and then resume the grind.
As they made their way towards the gate, they could see other players talking to an NPC. The players all seemed to be male; the girls reasoned that macho, manly types wanted to enjoy the combat while the girls enjoyed the shopping and the socialising. As each player finished speaking with the NPC, a shroud of light surrounded them, hiding them from view. A moment later they reappeared, covered in either shiny steel armour or else a purple robe emblazoned with stars.
"Hello ladies." the NPC greeted them. "Before you explore The Wilderness, you must first choose your class. Will you be a melee warrior, or a caster?"
"A love a good tank." admitted McKenzie. "I'll be a warrior."
"I'll be a caster, then, so that we're a balanced team." agreed Selena.
Both girls visions were temporarily blinded by the shroud of light that surrounded them. As it disappeared, however, they noticed that all the men seemed to be staring at them. A couple even wolf whistled.
McKenzie looked down first. Whereas the male warrior outfit was made of full-body steel plate, the female version was made up of a chainmail bikini, and a pair of supple leather boots. The bottoms were basically a triangle of metal attached by chainmail strings around the sides and back to make a thong, while the top was essentially the same but with two triangles.
The caster outfit, meanwhile, provided Selena with a wide-brimmed wizards hat and a purple one-piece swimsuit. It was not a conservative one, however; similar to the "mankini" seen in Borat, the material covered her nipples with a thin strips of material reaching up and around her neck from her crotch. It, too, was a thong.
"What the ****?" Selena screamed, the in-game censor hiding her words as her hands tried to hide her assets.
"This isn't armour!" McKenzie agreed.
"It has the same armour rating as the males." the NPC replied quizzically, as though unable to understand their objection.
