Make love not warcraft -fuzzy stories here!

[Litoru]

I got the inspiration from reading the "found out my gf used to play wow"-thread, and instead of spamming offtopic, I was hoping people could contribute to this thread instead

So, fuzzy stories. Have you ever met an ingame friend of yours who then turned out to be your gf/bf? Maybe he/she turned out to be a crazy, scary psycopath?

I'll start of this thread with a fuzzy, fluffy, crazy story of my own.

It's soon been 5 years since I first started playing this game. About some week after I started playing, I was in The Barrens desperately trying to lvl, and I saw this warlock who was the same lvl as me with the name Vredesbyrd. I knew it was a song by a band called Dimmu Borgir -I didn't really listen to them, but I had to comment his name, like apparently everyone else did (and still do). It was a total coincidence, I didn't stand out. I asked him to join me for some WSG, we chatted for some lvls and it eventually died out.

Lvl 30-something we met in a group for SM, so we started chatting again, joined the same guild and raced to lvl 60. During this whole time, he secretly didn't believe me when I said I was a girl. We played and talked to eachother every day.

Long story short, we joined some other guild and raided through ZG, AQ, MC and when I got to join for my first BWL raid, I told him "if I get loot, you'll say GZ to me on vent!". Ten Storms boots dropped, and I got them, but he refused to say GZ and said "I'll only say GZ if you get the t2 chest". Betcha I got it. Another night, I gathered all my courage and said GZ to him, from then he knew I was a girl, but nothing changed in his attitude towards me. We were just like really close friends with non of that typical OMFGAGIRL-syndrome, and we both had bf/gf -luckily both of them were crap. All the time, we denied any sort of feelings for eachother.
We were sneakily perverted and flirting one day, then jokingly being rude the other, but especially when we were drunk, a alittle more honest kind of text messages were sent -obviously being denied and ignored the day after. We never ever sent any pictures, never talked on the phone/vent/TS, it was pure personality.

2 years after that, we decided to meet half way, living 1600km away from eachothers, at a concert. I had recently broke up with my bf and he brought his gf with him. When we met, we were too shy to talk to eachother, so we just walked next to eachother. 6 months later, they broke up, another 6 months after that, I graduated, being drunk as hell, I asked him to join me and my friends for a festival, so the same night he bought flight tickets. I was totally terrified the day after, as I didn't remember a thing.

All my friends told me something was going to happen, all his friends said it too, but we both denied it and said "noooo, nothing will happen, we're just friends".
We met, it was a total catastrophe in the beginning, we didn't understand a word what the other said (due to accents, I'm Swedish, he's Norwegian, the languages are in general really similar). The first 4 days we communicated by writing on a paper. But some alcohol the first day of the festival was what brought us together for real. After he went home, I bought tickets to visit him. Everything was perfect -and then acouple of days later I had to move to Japan due to my studies, which had been my plan for several years. Bad planning? Yes.

It was extremely tough to work/go to school, and pretty much not being able to talk to eachother at all due to the time difference. It lasted a couple of months, until I decided to move from Tokyo, ditching my studies, to a tiny, little village in the mountains of northern Norway. And... well, here we are, 5 years since we met in the barrens, 2 years since I moved from Tokyo to him We moved together pretty much after meeting 2-3 times since living so far from eachother was too tiring, I also took him to Tokyo last summer, which he now loves.
Family and friends use our ingame names, mine being Little and his being Vrede, meaning Wrath in Swedish/Norwegain. Always awesome to hear my grandmother ask how Wrath is doing

Share the love, share your story!

[ItachiZaku]

Gratz. No stories for me. Just some cam lovin' here or there.

[Chronicle]

It's ironic that vrede means wrath in swedish yet it means peace in dutch.

[Mixon]

my roommate is getting married this month to a girl he met in wow.

[Tweeny]

Well i did have one boyfriend from wow, but that didnt last long we were much better off as friends, after we broke up we staied friends in wow and it worked great because you dont see each other so there is no misplaces emotion flying around.

But i did meet a guy who didnt have his own email when i met him and couldnt look at a screen for more then 10 minutes or his eyes would start tearing
We are together and happy now, and everyone thinks its strange that im the girl the super nerdy game freak, while he -the guy- doesnt like computers. I did try to pull him into wow, but he made a night elf warrior and started to key board turn... Also we never had a problem with me playing, although you can say im *drumroll* hard core... also its so much fun to explain to him what i did in the game its more fun then actually doing the thing (oh honey i became veteran in the guild finally!! you know...guild... its the.... and veteran means...well you know....)

[Samin]

grats and gl.
Looking forward to stories from others. I don't have any myself. I think those lucky cases are very rare. Even finding a guy who doesn't go OMFGAGIRL is pretty hard to start with. And yes those guys are rarely able to have a real relationship. (Not saying that guys who just treat female players like male players always can *ahem*)

What is actually also rare to find in wow is a girl who doesn't whore herself by exploiting her sex. Always good to get to know one. Gives back some hope in humanity.

Once upon a time Druids

[Deleted]

Thats nice

[Nidor]

uhm, thats a really cool story Gz on that! Og lykke til nå da!

[Nah]

Aww, amazing how things work out sometimes.

I sort of have a couple of stories, though one leads into the other.

My first actual raid experience was around early-BC, while most of the decent guilds on my server were still working on Karazhan. I was playing an Alliance druid at the time, and I found myself recruited by a guild that wanted me to go resto. Through a series of events I won't bother to mention, I wound up staying feral and became the guild offtank. The other druid in the guild, Finwe, who was to teach me how to play resto, approached me one day and suggested we try 2-manning Bloodlord Mandokir. See, our GM had the Razzashi raptor mount, and he and I both wanted it very much, so we agreed to farm it until both had it. We started playing together more and more, til eventually we decided to meet in person. Long distance was tough, since he was on the opposite coast, but we spent so much time together on WoW that it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

After a year and a half of farming, and several back and forth trips to visit each other, we both got the mount within about a week of each other, shortly after the drop rate nerf. Unfortunately, by that point, he was thoroughly burned out on the game and soon quit. With less common ground, and a couple thousand miles between us, we drifted apart and the relationship ended peacefully.

Somewhere in the midst of all that, I got one of the first Raven Lord mounts on the realm, during my epic flight form quest. A hunter on Horde, Extremeiself, got it a day or two later, and after spotting him sitting around Shatt with it, I made a Horde alt and whispered him. He was in the #2 guild on the server at the time, Stay Frosty, and after chatting a bit I managed to get my little alt an invite. I got to know some of the raiders in SF, and after switching mains to my enhance shaman, I secretly wished I could reroll and join. Since Fin was disinterested in the idea, I stayed Alliance up to the release of ToC. After he quit and we split, some guildies and I quit WoW for a month or so to try Aion, but I eventually returned. The guild I was in was understandably upset that we had just up and left, so I decided to give the other side a try. One of my buddies from SF (which had ceased raiding some months before) told me to join his new guild, Dinosaurchestra, which had several former SF members.

The GM was Barlos, and I remembered him being a tank in SF, but had never talked to him. I applied and was accepted, since I was fairly well known by some of the members, even though they already had the enh shaman formerly from SF. Barlos and I had never really talked when I had an alt in SF, so we didn't talk much in Dino either. There was one day that he and and I wound up chatting on vent in a channel alone, mostly about school and career choices. Somehow the subject of children also came up, oddly enough, and I was amused that neither of us wanted kids. We were vaguely flirty off and on for a while, and since he was going to be moving to a school within about an hour's drive from me, at one point he asked if I might be interested in starting up a D&D group with him.

One afternoon, I rolled a little blood elf pally and whispered him, expecting a guild invite. Instead, he invited himself along to level a warlock along with me. Well, I didn't mind! One night while leveling we wound up staying up well past dawn, chatting on vent, doodling on whiteboard, and just generally being silly. After one last random dungeon for the night, as we were doing the goblin escort in Razorfen, he confessed his interest. That was just over 6 months ago, and we've been inseparable since.

Time will tell if it will last, but it looks promising.

[Litoru]

Yeah *Ysa, suddenly you're all wrapped up in it, without knowing what happened

Thanks everyone, but I want to read more stories! I know there's alot of them.

[Clockwork Pinkie]

Very true, it's the second best feeling in the world to me, first being in love of course. My corney story that no one will like is as follows.

She was the GM of my guild. I was just some ele shammy doing my job, and of course trolling trade and general chat, I was a bad boy then...And I know she wont want me to tell this story but one day her job, as always, was just too stressful. The moment I signed on, she whispers me, "WTS GM Spot.". I ask her why, she's quiet for a moment. Then wall of text explaining the whole situation, to sum it up, officers dont think she can handle being a GM just because she's a female and wants someone else to run the guild. She was going to quit that night, but no no, she was a fun person. I couldn't let her quit, not over that nonsense. She said the words "Take me away from here". Obvisouly she meant in real life, but I came to Ironfroge, invited her to a party, she got in. And we rode all around the world. Literally. From Ironforge to Silvermoon, to Silvermoon back down to booty bay, took the boat to Ratchet, went from Rathet to Moonglade, to Moonglade to Tanaris. It took us well over 2 hours. And they were probably the best 2 hours of my life, so far. We talked all the way, shared past experiences, how life was for us, what we were doing, all that good stuff. Bonding. It was fun. We continued to hang out days later, her more open to me than usual. It was nice having someone wanting to do stuff with me all day everyday. About a week later, while still farming H MGT for our white cawk mounts. This was also back in the "Additional instances cannot be launched" days. The world slipped out.

Val: Az, I think I love you.
*2 minutes of awkward silence*
Az: I think I love you too.
Val <3
Az <3 .

And the rest is magical. *insert cool story bro here*

We are still like that to this day, even took pictures of our travels.
http://replace-this.guildlaunch.com/...6718&gid=94744
^ there they be. Love her so much <3

Mine. <3

[Litoru]

Naidia, awesome pictures! Great story too.
Before we got together, we could sit up until 5-6 in the morning, just fooling around in LBRS, grinding, lvling alts or whatever.

Me and my bf were planning on taking print screens from all over azeroth, where we can remember having fun memories together. Here's one, from Vanilla, obviously :P

[Ruryk]

Wellll... I'll contribute. It's not really a happy story though.

About 3 years ago I was playing WoW and another MMO which I won't name. While hanging out on the other MMO with some of my friends from school (the time frame for this was the summer before my senior year in high school) we ran into a guild or clan (that primarily consisted of Europeans and Australians) in a pvp match. My friend Cody and I were really intrigued by them so we started logging on at weird times and staying up all night to play with them more and more, and as we got closer they started trying to recruit us. Without even thinking we immediately applied on their forums and jumped in their IRC channel. Around the time of our first pvp as members of "Killer Bunnies" a new member had joined that I didn't recognize so I sent this player a whisper just to see what was up. Days go by and this new guy and I started hanging out in game to finish quests and stuff, nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe a month later we're about to pvp again, and I was on vent messing with this game named "T0m" who was the self proclaimed war-leader of KB when a female voice said, "Awww don't you have a cute accent!" I was pretty taken back to look over on my other monitor and find out that it was the "guy" I had been hanging out with for like a month.

Another month goes by. By now we were chatting every day on msn and vent, I was very interested in this Australian gamer girl. Boom now it's August and my senior year of high school started, I get an email asking if I'd like to be more than friends and if I would consider a trip overseas in the up coming summer. I was unbelievably excited by this, so I said yes to both. I kept this online international girlfriend a secret for a while because of the stigma of nerds... and online girlfriends... and her being foreign. Eventually my secret got out and everyone was pretty cool with it.

So a whole school year goes by, we're even closer... still talking every day, we've seen each other on cam a few times.. I had a picture of her in my wallet. I was leaving to go down under in 2 weeks!@@!!! At 18 I had somehow convinced my parents to pay for a ticket to Sydney... and give me money to spend while I was there... so I could go and stay with a girl I met online at her parents house. Yeah I'm not really sure what they were thinking by letting me go... but thank god they did. I had the most amazing time ever.. and we became really really attached to each other... I slept in her bed every night but the first one while I was there. I stayed for the entire extent of my visitors visa.. which landed me in September (parents were not happy about this... it means I pretty much skipped a year of college). Upon arriving home we made plans for her to come over that Christmas (by now we were both playing wow only). So she came over at Christmas like planned and stayed until mid January.

After she had gone back home things started to get weird.. we started becoming distant... so I planned another trip down there. I left in April and returned in June.. in time to get things ready before I moved to College that coming August. Maybe I should have explained our age difference earlier (I was 17 when we met she was 22, and by this time I was 19 she was 24) we were worried about different things. So that August I moved into an apartment an hour away from my home town to start college (got accepted into the engineering program at the same school some of my friends from high school were attending.. so I moved in with them). This really put a kink in things... apparently she was planning to try and come over to get a place and wanted me to live with her and possibly get married... but I had moved in with my best friends from high school and started college (which is a full time job and then some). I was pretty scared when she told me about the moving in together thing... and getting married. I understand that I had known her for going on 3 years but I was 19 and had the world in front of me.

I'll cut it short here... lol. She ended up coming over that Christmas again and staying with me... and she really wasn't the person I remembered or fell in love with so things were extremely weird. When she left we talked for maybe another month and decided to break up. I guess she transferred servers, haven't heard from her since. I'm completely over it now and just really happy I got some awesome experiences during those two summers... I mean how many 18 year old kids get to do that.


Thanks for reading :P I thought I would share this with everyone.

[Litoru]

It might not be the happiest story, but one should treasure all those kind of experiences Besides, Australia is awesome (except for the OHFUCKINGGODSPIDERS), and personally, I think one grows so much to travel to different countries.

Your story reminded me of something fun though.

I kept this online international girlfriend a secret for a while because of the stigma of nerds... and online girlfriends... and her being foreign.

My boyfriend told people about me, and just listen to how it sounds. He met a girl in The Barrens, they got together, but now she moved to Japan and you can't see her! I don't blame his friends if (when) they didn't believe him.

So when I finally moved here, we went to a party. He went in before me, while I took my coat off, and I could hear them
- soo, hah, have you got your 'GIRLFRIEND' WHO LIVES IN JAPAN WITH YOU, hahahaha!
- Actaully, I do.
*silence*
Enter ME!
people went DDDDD:
- You... lived in Japan? You're Swedish? YOU MET IN WOW? THE BARRENS?!

Ah, hilarious moment, you should've seen their faces

[Deleted]

Ah, hilarious moment, you should've seen their faces

Hehe good times.

I dont have a very interesting or long story to tell but

One time I took advantage of a lesbians 'needs' and 4months on, things still happen :3

[Musra]

I have a similiar story actually, I was playing WoW (during early WOTLK) and I decided to level up my twink paladin to level 80 just so see how it was. So I joined a leveling guild and started being friendly with everyone, alot of people liked me and one day I was fooling around a little in chat, some people and I were talking about ourselfs in real life, I started to talk with this girl two years older then me. We were both in a relation with someone else so we were just very close buddies, she helped me when I had troubles and I helped her. She helped me when my (ex) girlfriend might have cheated on me and I helped her with her boyfriend and I boosted her after she helped me in Plaguelands so I could quickly get to lvl 58 and head out to Outlands. At like level 68 we have started to talk more and more personal about like how we like sex and such and she wanted to talk more then just on WoW so I got her Skype, MSN and after a couple of weeks I even got her number so we started to send messages, we called each other honey, sweetie, sweetcheeks and such and one day (I had fallen in love with her) I couldnt really keep those feelings in (I am used to let them out) and said in a good night message that I love her and she sent a back that she loves me too, she was just afraid of that I didnt love her cause I already was with someone but I dumped her (my ex) and she left her boyfriend (kinda, hard to know if she did or he did) and we stayed together until a couple of weeks ago and today was really the final stroke when she said that she doesnt love me anymore. It hurts to know that we were together for almost 7 months and we managed to meet three times during 2 months which is pretty good since I am so young and she is too. I still love her and I am trying to win her back! This is my story, not quite ended yet but I hope for an happy ending ^^

[Serotonine09]

My story is quite a dark one with an ending that traumatised me for several months.

I play since vanilla and this all happened during tbc.

I was playing an alt on an underpopulated server and one day a buddy brings along a newbie in one of our skype sessions. At first, I was pretty annoyed. I was used to join progress guilds and never paid much attention to what was going on on the server besides the raids and dungeon grinding.

Then my buddy asks me if I could teach her how to play her class, she and I were both playing warlocks. I agree and I am pretty surprised as I notice that she is actually cute and that we get along good together. We start hanging out in skype, ICQ, MSN, ventrilo and teamspeak. We do our raids together, we farm together, we laugh together. One day, while I was pvping on my main, she calls me in skype and confesses to me that she has fallen in love with me. At first I was stunned, because I was so used to being dumped that I actually blanked out for at least 5 seconds. I respond that I'm pretty fond of her and I like her very much, but I would have to meet her to be sure of my affection. We met the next weekend and ended up in a Hotel that we didnt leave for the entire weekend. The next 6 months were like a dream. Although she was 5 years older than me we had a damn good time together. And during the sixth month the dream crumbled.

She had troubles at home, because her father wanted her to pay for her room (she was studying at university) but she insisted on stying there for free, because it was her last year at university. I tried to intervene but got a rude reply from both, her and her father. After that incident, she got pretty weird. Imagining that I was cheating on her and wasnt satisfied etc blabla. In fact I was still in love with her like the first day. Then I got in trouble in school and had to study a lot to get my stuff done which was fuelling her suspicions. One week before my birthday it happened. I was stressed, sleep deprived, I was arguing with her, my father, my mother and my sisters constantly and then I pulled the handbreak. I said that I would need at least a week to get back to normal and to sort things out. She replied that she didnt want to take a break and that I was cheating on her. That was the last straw. I broke up with her quite the rude way and deleted her numbers, blocked her and ignored her ingame. She called me at home one night and said that she would commit suicide if I didnt come back.

I was shocked and called the ambulance an instant later. They found her half dead but alive. After that she moved away and I never heard anything from her again.

Thinking of her and this night still gives me the chills....

[Cyph3r]

Ok, time to turn this thread around, it's getting a little too depressing.

So my story is somewhat different, I didn't meet my girlfriend in WoW, but it has become sort of a central part of our relationship.

We're currently both in our late 20's, but we've known each other since we were about 10. First met through our parents, always went to the same schools and such, I even dated one of her best friends throughout high school, so we were always friends. Not super close, but we spent a lot of time together. After high school we both went our separate ways to attend college and such, but ultimately both found ourselves living back in our hometown. Once again we started spending lots of time together, as many of our other friends had since moved away. I had started playing wow sometime around then, but it was very infrequent, very casual. Around the end of BC I began playing much more frequently, as I was excited for wrath and really wanted to dive deep into the new content once it was available. We had some other mutual friends who had been pushing her to start playing, but she just didn't really see the appeal yet.

Then on July 4th 2008, we got REALLY drunk, and you know how alcohol can affect one's inhibitions. The first effect was that she agreed to finally sit down and give the game a try. The second effect, well... use your imagination. In the following weeks we were both cautious of this new level in our relationship, excited yet also worried that if things went sour we'd lose a long time friend. Also during this time she got hooked on WoW hard. I taught her what I knew, we leveled and explored together, and generally had a blast. We both capped 80 within a few days of eachother and got into the raiding scene (I had never raided prior to Wrath), and haven't looked back.

We've since moved in together and currently raid together 3 nights a week, and are both officers in a small guild we helped found. We both love wow but of course we love eachother more than anything else. I can say without a doubt that if she hadn't decided to start playing I would still be a very casual player, if I was still playing at all. One of the best things about wow in my eyes is that it's something we can do together. In fact, we use it to keep in touch with old friends who have since moved out of state as well. The game is by no means what holds our relationship together, but just one of the many activities we both enjoy. Our skill and involvement as players evolved right alongside our relationship, and even once the game is dead and gone I think we'll always look back on it fondly.

[zlygork]

I wish such crazy stories happent to me...but I barely can get to pay when I go to see a movie (high school)
/QQ
and btw, I doubt I met more than a girl in my wow life, I must congratulate you in playing to wow regardles of the high amount of detestable guys that even other guys find rude..

I'm so sorry man, I got a story not exactly like this but somewhat around those lines,itr's not wow related but anyway, I feel like telling it.
so, I met her in facebook (wooohooo!) we were pretty close to each other, started meeting in real life and all the normal things (not dating yet) then I learnt she was pretty depressive (hell, she really was, inb4 "emo" comment).
anyways, we started dating for over 4 months and then's when things got hard, I was studying a lot lot lot for maths (I had a lot of difficultys and had to go to a more advanced level next year without option), I started calling her less, seeing her less and even answering her less in MSN, she didn't quite tough I was cheating on her but she really tough I didn't care about her, or that I was boored of her, something around that, she started being more distant, answering me less warmly (if u know what I mean..) and then, I myself started to get tired of her (it was more for her "new personality" than anynthing else.
one day that I was completely stressed for my maths final exam, 2 weeks before vacations...2 weeks before my birthday aswell (woo, lucky me!, my bd is 1 day before vacations xD) I decided to break up with her... she entered on one of those depretions, I found out that she cutted one of her arms (yes, likei n the "emo" ways ¬¬) and started feeling terrible. anyway, that's how that ended.

about 2 weeks ago, we had 2 conversations on msn and looks like she is okay and all but,meh...guys and girls out there, if you decide to date someone with emotional troubles, make sure it's the right person cuz it can end even worst than normal relations
