There was a very eye opening post on metafilter recently when Blizzard suggested all World of Warcraft players should be forced to use their real name.
A woman pointed out this was bad for the women (and girls) who play and listed off a shocking litany of the BS that any obviously female player needed to deal with.
Maybe the gender ratio in your game would have been better if this thing was more widely acknowledged and therefore dealt with.

The whole thread is eye-opening, regarding female experiences in such arenas.
