Marriage Partner Hookup Megathread!

[xeoneex]

I wish to share an experience I had a long time ago back near 2004 when I was playing FF11. I had met a very nice lass back then and we played together alot. Turns out we liked alot of the same things so we both decided to risk it and ended up chatting outside of the game. We hit it off really well and eventually we got to talking on the phone. We were both very much interested in one another and things went really well but there was a problem. She lived on the other side of the US. At that time, I was 24 and she was about the same (It's been so damn log I honestly forget everything about it sadly) and things were great but eventually she wanted more, I was happy as a lark and I was all for it but she wanted to meet in person. I actually got terrified by this I wasn't very strong when it came to doing things out of the norm, so I unfortunately never met her in person. She was ok with this but I knew she was upset that we couldn't meet in person. Well things went along fine but eventually she met another guy in her hometown and she was torn between me whom she had a very close bond with and this new guy. Well needless to say I told her to go with the guy and eventually she married the guy, I fell waaay out of contact with her sadly and I hope she is still happy. I always wondered what could have bene if I had just taken that step to go meet her *sigh*. This was the first and ONLY time in my 20+ years of MMO gaming that I met a woman almost got serious. I know I put that info up earlier but I'm not sure I should even think about it other than something spontaneous that really won't lead to anything. It is my dream to meet another woman in a MMO like this but I know as well as anyone, if not more in these cases, that it's very rare. I count myself lucky I had managed to meet someone as awesome as that one girl in FF 11.

bitching about your job, leave that out of the conversation.

LOL.
Agreed. It's a game, forget about the hurdles of life while you play it.

Just saying, if this thread leads to love for others, this is my favorite thread ever. Would love to hear of some success stories.

I don't want to take up too much room, but I found my boyfriend on this thread and we've just celebrated our 8 months three days ago. At first, I was amused that such a thread existed, so I snooped around. His post got my attention because (I'm not that vain I promise!) his character looked good in the photo. I lost a bit of sleep deciding whether I should PM him first or not (especially because someone replied to him first! +it seemed silly), but ultimately I did, only to be hit with "player is not online" . I didn't give up though! I went ahead and replied to him on this thread and everything kinda worked out!! We've been talking about meeting up soon when I go to Europe and more than likely, it's going to happen. It was hard at times considering different time zones, he's Swedish and I'm American, but it was all worth it.

Finally, as a bit of advice, please please please don't ever be too shy. Whether it works out or not, it's better to give yourself a slight chance than no chance at all. Make the first move! Thank you for reading this and good luck ♥

You know, I have read a considerable number of posts in this thread and while I understand alot of different opinions float about, I'm going to add my $0.02 to this. You can take it, leave it, ignore it, or straight up don't even read it :P. Ever since I was younger and started playing MMO's back in 1996, UO was the best X-D, I have always loved the idea of finding a mate through video games. I know this is a pipedream at best because of the rarity for finding someone. For the LONGEST time I pushed it out of my head and faced reality that i'd be better off looking elsewhere for companionship. I have to say though, seeing this thread (and frankly I have never read the forums in since I created my account back in 2013) gave me hope and I can't ignore that. I know I may be naive and that little glimmer of what I wished back 20 some years ago flashed its ugly head in my mind. But I can't deny there is a possibility to find someone. I want to cling on to that little bit of hope for even just a little while. I'm horribly lonely and frankly I don't want to really get into it for obvious reasons, but again that glimmer of hope has me excited that I may very well find someone. of course I'm not stupid enough to get ahead of myself. I'm going to post every once in a while and see if anything happens. I mean the worst that will happen is no one will message me and I will continue playing as I have for many years now.

I ended up moving servers cause a RL friend wanted to help me thur some stuff.. but sadly he quit the game. Like who does that T.T Well since I moved servers I'm still looking but to be honest I don't know what I want.

Friends can be whatever, but if it's past that I have NO issues RPing a relationship at all. But that has to stay ingame. Mainly cause I SUCK at that stuff in real life and lets be honest. 9 times out of 10 it'll be two guys anyway so lets keep it fun and not make it odd. I'm for whatever ingame tho. We all get lonely and want that person to poke our noses and whatnot. Lets just be kool real and goofy and save the planet.

Just fantasia into a Keeper of the Moon with my skin color. You will no longer receive /tells of any kind, people won't inspect you, you won't be emoted, you won't be catcalled, and you won't be complimented in by anyone but your bond partner. Sadly, you also won't get any more commendations as well as bad luck with RNG but the good outweighs the bad.

It works. Take it from me. A black cat.

What's wrong with black cats?

What's wrong with black cats?

Apparently everything : )

You see more Roes.
