lmao kids dont get so defensive, you only make yourselves look like fools, and gnome i didnt expect anything other than flames from you, seems you're not happy unless you are acting the internet hardman, so very sad.

So am I supposed to be happy being the "internet hardman" or am I supposed to be sad? Make up your mind dude.

Lemme get this straight. You come into a peaceful thread and proceed to call people losers and that they're pretending to have gfs. Then you come in again and say that they're kids and they look like fools and you start crying about someone flaming you.

You honestly dont see how you're the only fool here?

Don't...just dont.

He's just trolling with some very lame flamebait.

Ignore him, dont feed him and maybe he'll go terrorize some other thread.

My wife hates the game and sees it as a unimportant antisocial waste of time that serves no useful purpose. Anything is more important than GW and gets really pissed when I am in a group mission and can't come and kill a spider or move a couch or whatever. So my group play is usually limited to when everyone else is asleep or I know I am not going to be bothered.

I play because it is fun. I think fun is more important sometimes.

YAY, I'm not the only one like that

Though, we stayed away from marriage due to a bad experience with that on my side.

But yeah, met him online, became friends, met irl and were friends and it gradually evolved into something more than friends.

He's the gamer in the household and, at the time, I was the one with the nicer computer for games, which, according to him, was going to waste.

He started playing in the betas and it wasn't till my son asked for a copy for himself that I started playing on my son's account, 2 days later getting my own account cause it was fun

Having your partner share the same interests as you is awsome, being able to lean over and ask for him to pull out a certain character is really nice, and him playing through prophecies with me first time around was highly appreciated and great fun.

Playing myself though, I find I'm one of the more tolerant mothers who expects her son off the computer once the mission is finished, not half way through. I have thrown tantrums about him then continuing on though... I think we need to educate parents on how bad it is when their son/daugher has to desert the team because there is something to be done offline. That doesn't excuse those kids that tell their parents "I'll do it as soon as I get to (name of place)" and then just continue on without taking the 5 mins to do what they were asked to do.

Wow i never thought there where so many girls playing this game...

Oh and Beat_Go_Stick, get your sword out baby, my daggers are waiting for you!

mqstout · Jul 20, 2006, 01:04 AM // 01:04

The BF and I play together. Yes, we're gay.

My husband was the first to get Guild Wars...on the advice of a co-worker. At first I was "no way" but quickly turned to "gotta have" in a matter of about a weeks time of watching over his shoulder. At first we only had 1 computer so we had to split time on. Now we have 2 computers and each have Prophesies and Factions and will get Nightfall when it is released. We are both home boddies by choice ... the club scene holds no interest for either of us. We still go out for dinner once a week and to the occasional movie, so we have a life outside of Guild Wars.....occasionally...LOL. Our son, daughter-in-law and future son-in-law all play occasionally too. And just to show our age we are grandparents too....lol Old Timers that Game. We have our own "family" guild, The Arboreal Defenders [ArDe] We sit about 3 feet apart in the "puter" room...lol. We are usually found running together and usually run with henchies as they don't complain or rage quit when hubbies computer is slow to load or glitches and freezes. All of our characters are set in pairs as to compliment eachother. We have one set that is set like a hubby/wife and some others that are more brother/sister, we even have made one that is a set of twins 1 male 1 female, lol....call us nutts or whatever this is our way of having fun together and enjoying our time together. We are also both members of this site and a couple of others dealing with Guild Wars. In RL our tastes vary in some things but in most we are on the same wave length. So for all the couples out there...OOH RAH ~

keep it up and have fun...

Yeah about the same for me as well. I get the opportunity to play unbothered when she isn't home. Usually that means a couple hours a week in the early evenings before she gets home from work. Or on my day off... which sucks if she doesn't go in that day because she's outside sales and pretty much makes her own hours. "You plan on playing that all day?" in a tone that makes me think it would be better to take the dogs and just go sit outside or something lol.

I got my Girlfriend into GW a few months after I started playing. She likes it a lot, already has a Monk (P+F), Necro (P+F), Ranger (F), Mesmer (F), and Ritualist (Still getting through Factions).

My boyfriend. ^^^^^

observation:

people in forum who got female avatars are actually guys who have girlfriends and wives.

Burn Butt · Jul 20, 2006, 02:46 AM // 02:46

I am not making believe that I have a girlfriend... And here is some proof:

My girlfriend cannot STAND that I play on the computer as much as I do. I never hear the end of it. I told her that if she wanted to show me that she truly cared she would give me a lapdance while I played, but I think that may have been the wrong thing to say. I don't know which is harder, soloing in the deep or trying to convince women that you can play computer games and still be a man. I know a lot of you know what I'm talking about. There are rare marriages where men and women can both play games, but for the rest of us, our women either HATE that we play or are toads.

All my chars are girls. Go figure. On the rational level I have convinced myself that the female chars look better than the guys and would rather look at them than some fat warrior or some freakish male necro. But there are a bunch of threads on this somewhat seperate topic.

I don't know what my girlfriend thinks of this. That is because I have not told her that I play computer games and I am trying to let her never find out how much I actually play. It's not the game itself that is the problem, but let me just say that I am nearing the 2000 hours played mark. I am going to try to keep the answer to "What are you up to?" to "Nothing much" and not "I'm about to hit VoD in a GvG for a champ point, so if I could just dodge this catapult shot and call you back, my guild would really appreciate it".

Clerihew · Jul 20, 2006, 05:53 AM // 05:53

My guy and I had been living together for over a year before we started playing guild wars together and I can let the naysayers know without a shadow of a doubt that it hasn't affected our relationship negatively at all - we are as happy together as we have always been.

We both go to the gym, play sports, see friends, watch movies, are gainfully employed, enjoy 'alone' time and goof off together in the way we always have. I am sure this is true for a lot of the other couples out there. If a shared interest in online games is a negative influence in a relationship or is damaging it in any way then I think that the root problem must lie in the relationship itself. That's my two cents anyhow.

It's great to see so many other girls around playing GW by the way! Hooray!

Maria The Princess · Jul 20, 2006, 06:23 AM // 06:23

my Boy friend says since im playing that im paying less attention to him.
