I have to say, the engagement in this thread is really interesting. One of the better reads I’ve had in a long time. Thanks everyone. Netflix, if youre out there its time for a documentary.

    Did you have a long distance relationship first? Or did they live near you. I hear lots of stories like that and I always wonder how it worked out

      Quite a long distance. In under a year I’d packed up and moved. Her career was rooted, mine was a lousy job easily given up. She works from home now but I left everything- family, friends, job, familiarity, and made my life about this relationship. Might still be the best decision I ever made. Easily the most dramatic. WoW gave me my current life and partner, much more than the few years I played it.

        were you both not worried about things like physical appearance or is that something that was sorted out before through like public Instagram/Facebook type deal

          We’d met in person on more than one occasion prior to me moving. Before those meetings, we chatted frequently, exchanged photos, and talked on the phone.

          Tbh there was a lot of that going on in that game. Not sure how many of the relationships that we knew about lasted. Kind of a ren-faire vibe to it all.
