The November/December 2009 issue of Beckett Massive Online Gamer features the top women in online gaming with their article, “Top 10 Most Influential Women of MMOs”. The article does not feature scantily clad women characters in MMOs, this article is the real deal featuring the women that work in the online game industry.

“We polled industry veterans and the IDGA’s [International Game Developers Association] Women in Games SIG, as well as MOG readers,” writes the article’s author, Carolyn Koh. “The response was gratifying and included 20-year veterans, as well as newcomers showing more and more of their creative ideas and their potential every day.”

The women highlighted are: Yvonne Bridges, Tracy Steamster (Zenimax/Behesda Softworks), Kristen Demeza, Melissa Meyer (Blizzard Entertainment), Torrie Dorrell, Laralyn McWilliams, Rosie Rappaport (Sony Online Entertainment), Irina Pereira (38 Studios), Em Stock (Paragon Studios), and Courtney Brown Simmons (Disney Interactive).

The magazine can be found in most retail locations.
