[kearinne 0]

We met on a MUD called DSL (Dark and Shattered Lands) back in 2002.

Now we both play WoW.

ps I'm a gal and been in the bbs/geek scene since 1989

We met playing Everquest 2. We played Age of Conan for awhile then went back to EQ2. I have a feeling he's gonna force some WoW on me soon though!! haha

We're another WoW couple. The guild gets daily reports on the immigration progress.

By the way, I prefer nerd to geek.

You newbs need to go more old school, like MUDs. (played them from 1995 - 2002)

(we also predate "n00b")

Dunno why but I just could never get into EQ or WoW or FFXI.

NEWBS AKA N00b HAHAHA I remember Muds!!! LOL old school ROCKS!!

oooh the funny looks i got when my friends and family first found out

my friends had no idea i play or could play poker and then that i met someone special on there too.

Then after they got over the shock of omg what if he had been an axe murderer or something they wished me luck and now are all happy and excited for me.

More Wow nerds for your collection, we met back in 2006 when Chris joined the Guild I am was (and still am) in. He is the GM of said guild now, and everyone there who has watched our relationship grow asks how the process is going and offers their support daily, like a big family.

Sadly I get the "OMG you met online! Isn't that dangerous/stupid/weird/insert random sterotype here" AS VJ has shown me, meeting online isn't really something that is all that different now days, we have 6 couples in our guild that met because of WoW. Atm im the only one going through the visa process, however it looks like there might be 2 more very soon lol. The other 3 were lucky to be US based, just in different states lol.

Going back just a little over twelve years, not much of an internet and certainly not the place for meeting people. And if looking for that person of your wildest dreams, would have to be a person that either has access to, or owns a computer. The miracle of the internet, gave an opportunity to chat with people all over the world, only to learn, they are not that much different than you or I, have families, work hard, and trying to make ends meet. Met really thousands this way, some would carry on conversations with, others, very short lived.

Then one day this woman happened to find me and found me interesting, ha, Latin American woman, also thought they were hot tempered and threw things, she was the sweetest person I have ever met. Board chatting led to e-mails, e-mails to phone calls, to hardly a point where one day wouldn't pass without communication of some sort, we grew into a deep platonic friendship and a great dependence on each other. After nine months of this, said it is time we meet, and not knowing what to expect, but we were very close friends. Meeting her for the first time was complete magic for both of us, also is a biological attraction to consider, but we didn't think about that, but it was there and extremely strong besides that deep platonic relationship we had already established. Statistics state that 30 days is the maximum for online communication then you have to meet or fail, we had nine months behind us.

We have seen each other as much as we could for the next 15 months until we finally married, but still very fresh in my mind the long days we had between visits. Could have gone the other way when we first met, we both realized that. Ha, then we had to learn about immigration, now that is history, she has been a USC now for one and a half months. We share most of everything we have, except for computers, we have our own, but now she is webcaming her family instead of me.

Without computers and the internet, we would never have met, and an unusual one at that, prehistory to computers, first there is a biological attraction where a platonic relationship could be developed, where ours, the platonic relationship was extremely strong before that biological attraction was even considered. Ha, tease her, is it okay that I covet my own wife?

We met on Games.com playing Gin Rummy...lol

That was back in 2001, we have now been married for 6 years and have lived 3 of those in the UK and 3 in the US...maybe its time to look for somewhere to spend the next 3...

It helps so much to know you aren't the only one! I knew there were a lot of us out there. One thing about meeting online is that you get to meet the person before you meet the face. Its nice to get to know someone inside first and then be plesantly surprised when you see the outside

I played mostly Pern (c'mon, I was a ten year-old girl!) and then moved to cyberpunk MU*s. I really miss those days. The general atmosphere and the IQ of most MU* players was so much...better than what you get with places like WoW.
