I need your opinions on a fight my fiance and I are having about MMORPGs

Hello all. I have a bit of a problem and would like all of your opinions on it please.
*** Ok, here is the deal, my fiance and I both play mmorpgs a lot and have played just about every one that exsists. the question I have for you is in reference to Ultima ONline.
OK, the two of us have over 10 accounts, 1/2 mine and 1/2 hers, we also have 10 houses and a load of stuff. Technically 1/2 is hers and 1/2 is mine, but we always thought of all of it as "ours"
Recently, I have quit UO and moved to Horizons. now here is the problem:
I want to sell the 1/2 of the accounts that were mine. They are all male chars and are all the ones that I always played. none of them are characters that she has ever played at all!.
She is tellingme that I am a jerk and that I should let her have EVERYTHING because she still wants to play.
Basically, I feel that that 1/2 is mine to do with as I please because they were my accounts that I levled and played and worked to get to where they are. She still has all of her accounts, all of her houses and all of her stuff.
Should'nt I be allowed to sell my 1/2.??
Well, she thinks that she should get to keep all hers and all mine and that I have no right to sell it because I do not want to play anymore.
arrrgggggg
***** Please enlighten me with your opinions.....
Please take a few seconds to answer my survey and also I would appreciate any more detailed opinions via posts that you all may have...
thanx

Jeez man, you're gonna marry this woman and you want to sell your online loot instead of giving it to her? This is a no-brainer bud!!

Ehhm.. Well, maybe not give her everything, but if you're leaving and she might have some use for your some of stuff, why not give her? Then if you feel like it sell the rest or do whatever you wish..
My $0.02 :P
lol, it sounds like ur getting a divorce. id definitely give it to her. dont weanna get the marriage off on the wrong foot, even if just in a game.

Maybe I should clarify a tad more.
Normally, I would give her everything and be more then happy to do so, but there is a slight hitch that I did not want to mention before.
I had $1400 saved up towards an alienware rig and she screwed up on the finances (we each do our part of the bills). well because of her foul up, I had to give her ALL of the saved computer money to make it right.
So, I said to her, that I would sell my half of the UO stuff to make it up, but she wants it all.
Ok, now you know everything.....

I'm sorry to hear about your misfortune.
But remember she is to be your wife and you can't let a computer or game ruin your relationship.
Good luck!!

Of course I want her to be happy, and I plan on giving her all of the stuff, but I wanted to see what others thought.
Also, when I said we were fighting, I meant in a tongue and cheek kind of way. Our fights are never very nasty or very long in nature, Perhaps I used to strong a word: T'was more of a minor disagreement.
Thanks for the input though

10 uo accouts? THats alot of money to be fork'n out each month.....
Anyways, heres the deal..
Just give her the stuff, really is that money all that important to you? (and if she reads this, "Is that stuff all that important to you?")

you give her the items, she is bound to get bored of it soon.
about the alienware...first off, don't get an alienware...they suck
abspc is even better than alienware! hehe
but dude...just give her the items, it's no biggy, i mean...how much are you going to get out of the account anyway...a hundred bucks? is that enough to sell your wife away?!?

I would say sell it man....it's YOURS you earned it. This may be a sign to getting a prenumptual agreement before marriage
...sounds like she would be mean in court and leave your ass hanging dry with all the bills and make you go bankrupt...man if she's getting mad about game items, just think of RL stuff.
Confusious say: Man who marry whiney woman feel drunk all life.
Confusious also say: Man who have hand in pocket feel cocky all day. ..but thats another story

You both play MMORPGs heavily and have played almost all that exist. Have collectively 10 UO accounts and God knows how many others. $1400 finance mix up huh?
Forgot to pay the MMO subscription fees for last month didn't she?

Transfer all the good loot to as few accounts as possible then cancel the other subscriptions.
I find it hard to justify the cost of one MMOG account let alone multiple ones per person.
Hmm Ultima Online is $12.99 / mo * 10 thats $129.90 a month..
I can think of many other things you could be doing with that money.
Lazy is right, condense and sell. IT will reduce expense and make you both happy.
You may be surprised to find that if you give her what she wants willingly, she will give you what you want. Translation: Never put a spouse or family before selfish, costly (and yes it WILL cost you, even if you sell 'em) needs or a game for Pete's sake. . .(poor Pete). One more thing, if you can't forgive her for the mix up-don't get married. I'm a newlywed - trust me.
Time is money. With that many accts, spend less time playing and find a way to make more money.
Permadeath and environmental challenges are the next great step in the evolution of MMORPGs. Only through true adversity will one feel accomplished. Only in truly knowing you can die will true adversity present itself.
