How many "couples" play MMo's together?

Hi all,

I was just wondering how many couples play MMORPG's together. My wife and I have been playing MMO's for 2 years now together and just wanted to see how many of us are out there. If your girlfriend or boyfriend, husband or wife plays with you, please post here for we are very curious.

p.s. We just started a guild for EQ2 that is couple based called Eternal Bond and were just wondering if we have a semi large crowd to cater too. *shamless plug*

       Well my Wife started to play MMO's with me bout 2 years agoe after I spent so much time on SWG.  After we were finished with SWG we moved onto COH, just to fill the time.  I then got into WOW beta and have spent most of my time on that, she on the other hand is looking forward to EQ2.             It has been fun so far, but, I hope she does not turn into a fanboy. 

        I respect people who play any MMO, and dedicate there time to perfecting a second life, but she is starting to read alot of anti WOW rederic on websites, and is starting to cop an atitude.  I will probibly play both, but I am trying to teach her a little self restraint in not blasting someone because they don't want to play the MMO you want.  Because.....      .........It's just a game!..........            Your suposed to have fun.  So, if you play with your wife/Husband make shure you goto the movies, and out to dinner once in awhile.  We had bout 6 months whare we did nothing but work and play SWG...................  Dude, we got soooooo fat.  I swear I have an addictive personality, and I found a girl that did to......... 

        Wow that was off subject. 

        Anyhoo, point being, I love to play MMO's with my wife, and as long as you keep it in check, you will ahve fun too.   

                                          P.S. I thought I was the luckiest guy in the world that My wife liked to play and eat KFC every night, untill you realize that is all you do.

    It's very handy to have a GF that play MMORPGs too, you spend alot of time together at the same time as you play..:)

    First time I met my wife we didn't leave each other's side for over a year... I met her, and boom... that was it.

    Now we're getting a divorce, she moved back to Canada and has our daughter.

    Neat... not everything is always a happy ending.

    My girlfriend and I have been playing Swg together for 6 months now. I have lost interest in the game several times but she keeps draggin me back in ::::15:: Both of us are praying that JTL will save the game but we both are ready to find a new one together if SOE disappoints us again.

  • DjinDjin Member, Newbie CommonPosts: 3,263

    JTL is all about "eve" type gaming.  That's all.

    But I will have to find another girl/wife/whatever to fill that gap untill WoW comes... then poof!  She's gone... {j/k}

    My girlfriend and I, who live together, play MMO's together all the time.

    We have a spare bedroom with a home network and I got her into them by having her do tradeskills for me in UO 4 years ago. And ever since she seems to play more than me.

    My wife and i have been playing games together for 6 years now playing UO and played AC for 1 year.

    We both will be playing EQ11 together as we have found it is way way easier playing as a 2 person team we have learnt how to fight as a 2 person team real well.

    She is the brains behind team and i am the muscle.!!!!image

    Heh. I wish I had a girlfriend who played computer games...Much less MMORPGs:) I wish I could find one too, but all I attract are sorority whores.

    Or you know, at least a nice girl who will help me with my plans to destroy the world.::::27::

    my wife won't even touch mmorpg's!! she hates that other ppl will steal your kills or loot! it' drove her away from them.. + she says there are too many kids in the games who whine all day.

    She's addicted to NeoPets so it's all good.

    I used to play EQ1 with my wife. She was never really a gamer, but she showed interest after she made herself a character on my account. I then bought her an account and we made a couple characters together and started leveling up. She told me after the first longish stint of playing that she had dreams about orcs that night. Then at work the next day all she could think about was coming home and playing EQ...

    Then one day she just up and quit playing. To this day I don't know why. I ask her and she gives me no real answer.

    Now it's to the point where she is suspicious of me anytime I want her to check a game out. Like she makes an effort not to involve herself too much. Perhaps she was addicted to EQ, realized it, then pulled out of playing it in disgust? She is sort of a control freak... Especially about controlling herself when she realizes she is out of control.

    Anyway, after she quit playing EQ, I started playing both our accouts at the same time. LOL ... That must have looked weird, like I filled her place with some imaginary friend... Never dealing with the loss or something. Anyway, I'd rather not talk about it anymore ::::12::

    My boyfriend and I have been gaming together for almost 4 years. He used to play AC and I was still into solo games, like Sims, Dungeon Keeper {I still love DK!!} and Diablo. The problem was, he worked from 9am-6pm, and I worked from 2pm-11pm. Same company, one car...looong work days because I had to get up at 7am to go to work with him and we didn't get home until around 12am.

    Needless to say, this made for some strain. Many nights of me saying "*#@*%(%&;^&^&*#!!!! It's 4am, why the hell are you still up on that stupid game!!!!! We have to be up in THREE HOURS!!!! I'm gonna kill you!!!"

    Then, he sat me down, said "You want to play with magic, hunny? Let's make you a mage."

    I was toast. We've been playing games until 4am together ever since.

    Well, except for now, because we only got one WoW beta account, so we have to take turns. ;)

    My boyfriend and I play together. He actually introduced me to the whole online-gaming. He had been playing EQ when we met, but was semi-retired. Than he showed it to me one day and I made a character and was messing around, realized I enjoyed it and in the end I went and got my own account when Shadows of Luclin came out. I made a Vah Shir bard, got her to 65 and quit probably 3 months or so after PoP came out. We than went to FFXI for a few months, didn't really fall in love with that game, and now here we are, waiting for WoW!! image

    My wife is an MMO virgin. She has agreed to let EQ2 have the honor of taking that title away.

    Thanks

    My exgf and I used to play EQ1 together until I went to DAoC and she refused to play it. She ended up stop playing EQ1 and gave her account to her mother and step father (who both play) and she got addicted in reading fanfictions, especially yaoui (sp?) image We parted on bad terms needless to say.

    Now I have a new g/f who isn't a gamer, yet. Give me time. image image

    My husband and I have been playing MMO's together for about 2 years.  We have played several Shadowbane, DAoC, and SWG just to name a few.  The only one I really couldn't get into was SWG. (I kept falling asleep at the computer go figure) image  We are both looking forward to EQ2.

    For you women gamers out there, what is it that draws you into these games? I mean, obviously you enjoy them, but I am having a problem tempting my wife to join me again and play. She is so suspicious when I try to get her to play or even watch me play, almost like she is being stubborn or something. I can't figure it out. Like I said in previous post, she used to love playing EQ1. Now she won't even admit it, although she doesn't deny it. She gets almost embarrassed when I mention the whole thing about her dreaming about orcs LOL.

    Anyway, any tips to get her interested again?
