    As absurd as the title may sound, I'd like to say this is just an observation and one that could be wrong. Something that has always drawn me to games is character creation and personalization so as soon as I knew I wanted to continue my stay on this server, I voted for the "NX". After viewing the "Cash Shop" I noticed there were certain items having a grayed out "Buy" button! I assumed it was due to being exclusive to the "Donor" tab immediately. That didn't trouble me to badly until a common theme for the items appeared.

    After a few moments of browsing through all the sections of clothing, I deducted that most of the items I could not buy with my "Vote NX" were gender exclusive to the female character... It was odd to me, that I gathered way more female items than male items were grayed out; I mean way more! Now you don't have to believe that is sexist but it surely does seem intentionally done this way. Could be coincidence.. though which is true?


    I have the hypothesis that it could of been implemented to insure that if a person would like to play as a female character, they had to use "Royal Points" to get the most appealing and/or popular clothing! Why would that be in place you may ask? I say it's to keep note of who is "really" female and who is just playing a female character since you use PayPal or maybe they believe more females play than males. This may seem farfetched but I tend to be hyper-aware and overthink situations so that's likely why, bahaha. I may be totally wrong on this topic but regardless, it would be nice if anyone (especially a GM) would enlighten me on this matter!!

    Thanks for reading and replying in advance everyone; regardless of if it's helpful, not helpful or negativity!
    I also apologize in advance if I offend anyone with this post, bahaha. *nervous giggle* *bows rapidly*

    P.S-

    The main reason this bothers me is I can hardly make any outfits and I love to have different looks for my character... This is a private server and something that is associated with private servers are a magnet for players like I, free cash items!

    It's not working correctly. Equip what you want and click the option to buy equipped items.

    Oh really? Now I feel like a nerd, baha... Thank you Narutard and stunning signature. Those episodes make me upset everytime I watch T~T. Should I just delete my post to avoid any further confusion; if deletion is possible?

    Haha xD. I immediately knew how to buy them as it was a bug back in the old days :p
    Also something that is similar to the topic at hand, I noticed that a lot of the "set" clothes don't have their other half.
    I recently noticed this as I was looking around the cash shop.

    For example:
    Bunny Hat, Bunny Boots, BUT Bunny Costume is missing..
    For the Ducky Set, it's all there. Not sure if there were actual shoes to match the ducky set though.

    A few more good example is:
    Casual Cowboy hat, Western Cowgirl (F) both are found, Pink Western Walkers no where to be found, but Blue Western Walkers (for male only) are there but, Western Cowboy (M) missing. LOL.

    Old School Uniform Top (F) found, Old School Uniform Skirt (F) missing.
    Blue Bell Dress (Skirt)found , Blue Frill Blouse (top) missing.

    There are also a lot of missing normal nx stuff.
    Not really complaining but I thought I should just point out some stuff.
