You take my breath (bar) away

The Onion has published a
humorous love letter which makes sense to any WoW player, though it has a poignant side. Sometimes it's hard to
understand life without WoW -- just as it's hard to decipher the terminology any Azeroth resident is steeped in -- and
relationships bridging the chasm can have their problems.Ever tried to convince your other half to see the setting sun in Southshore rather than go out on the town? If your love life is eerily like this, perhaps it's time to reconsider your priorities. However, I know plenty of couples who play together and find it a good way to spend time together -- perhaps you can get your other half interested, though mine is quite happy not sharing this particular hobby.

Actually, I started playing (im sure that's not the word) WoW when my boyfriend gave me his GuestPass... From that moment on I understood why he kept telling me that he couldn't come over to my place... and I started doing the same... so... on Friday nights we group and quest together in Azeroth as a happy couple... now we have more things in common... WE ARE WARRIORS AND LOVE KILLI'N ALLIES... LOL

It looks funny and pity in one moment. I hope my half will never be interested in this game. That's enough one wow-crazy in a couple

Though she's my ex-girlfriend now, I remember quite clearly hooking her on WoW. She now has a 56 warrior, is our group's main tank, and I'm both surprised and happy that she still plays (we're still very good friends). Almost all of my closer friends play now as well. It's viral, really. And each time it started the same way: I would invite them over and say, "hey, try this - you can make your own character on my account". By the Character creation screen half of them were sold. The other half were sold by level 6, when they would leave that first part of the starting zone. Too bad only the first one got my trial key lol. Now there are 8 of us, and we have been known to occasionally have some WoW LAN nights, where we all head into an instance or go raid some town. It's a really fun experience when you can play with people you know.
From my ex's perspective it was probably a "if you can't beat em, join em" situation. But if she's still playing, I guess that means she must like the game :)

My girlfriend lives in South Carolina, and since November I've lived here in Texas. World of Warcraft was an anniversary gift immediately prior to my move, and it's a way for us to keep in touch and do things together without eating expensive cellphone minutes. I even shipped her my old box when I built a new computer, since her Mac laptop couldn't run WoW. It's nice, because all of my other SC friends play on it, as well. It's no real substitute for interaction with people you care about, but when you're 1700 miles away, it's better than sitting in the silence.

I was actually the one who got my boyfriend to play. I was able to convert him from playing Galaxies and using my account to occationally play WoW. The only problem is that he plays Alliance and I play Horde, so we don't get to spend much time together online. At least we are now both on the same MMO so we know what the other person is talking about. =)
