I've have not played GW with a g/f but I used to play Ghost Recon with one. We're both athletes and VERY competitive, the game gave us another way to compete on a more even playing ground (guy vs girl in RL sports guy usually wins) we rarely talked about the game outside of playing, I was already into the game when we met and got her playing, plus the use of Team Speak cut down on cell phone bills when we where not together.
wonder where that chic is now a days?
Also total agreemnet with the family togetherness comments, my son and I play a few console games together, give us something in common and when, we game, it give us some alone time, just me and him. He got a few years to go before GW though, but you see him level up his ranger on Gauntlet

The wife & I played Icewind Dale I & II, Baldur's Gate, and NWN together before we got married. Got a copy of GW for each of us at the same time last year, with her approval. She does have to drag me away from GW to do housework, and sometimes I have to drag her away from housework to play GW, but it all works out in the end.

XD yeah, I play guildwars cause of my boyfriend. I wasn't really interested when he first got it - but then when he got factions, he let me have my own character and I immediately bought the game!
As of recently we have our computers at my house in two separate rooms so we can play together - we use teamspeak anyway and our guild is definately aware that we are a couple :O
Now that I play though - he gets mad when I play more than him...
I'm pretty sure he still prefers this to me watching my shows though :/

My girlfriend and I both play this game addictively. Addionally, we're both members at these forums.

my girlfriend hates it, simply because, as i found out the other day, her mom plays it too! I was dying when i went to her house and saw guild wars being played on their computer. so now, me and her mom both play it, which is jsut damn funny

Met an american girl when I joined a guild which I'd been helping for a while (ShoT) and had become some kind of legend among, and within a week or two we were helplessly in love with each other 
. Here's the really sad part, she's one of the reasons I dumped my real life girlfriend..

My girlfriend HATES Guild Wars 
Hates it like no other game. She loved Fable, loves Oblivion, thinks Halflife and Prey are cool, laughs her ass off at Hitman and GTA.....but she frikkin loathes this game *laugh*
Funny how the game that I lasted longest in out of those listed was the one she hated most

I used to hate Guild Wars because my boyfriend would barricade himself inside his house 24/7, playing it. But I grew to love it when I went to his house and he showed me what it was like. So I was like, " I am getting this game!" xD

I used to have a bf, before I started playing GW, but he passed away, so now I am single and have drifted away from the dating scene. Most people in-game, think I am a guy, which is very funny. When they find out I am female however, they get super fresh and immediately try to become a boyfriend. I don't think that counts the same, since it's non physical, or realistic.. but it seems a good portion of gw players have active imaginations ^^

Well hun even online relationships can become physical and realistic, of course that's only if you allow them in most cases. My husband and I met on a message board and were friends for many months before actually meeting and then were friends for a couple more months before we started dating and then about 4mths later we were married. He's been a huge part of best 3yrs of my life! If it were really that unrealistic there wouldn't be people meeting online, in chat rooms, in games, and so forth who are getting married every day. I know of several people that were even countries away from each other who are now happily married (heck my best friend imported hers from Iceland!). And you don't have to be looking for love for it to fall in your lap, but if it happens, don't be afraid to give chase
And yes, most people are confused to find me, a female, with 3kids and one on the way, married and playing the game with my husband. I still even get hit on and my husband just giggles about it
However to each his own, some people think online relationships ridiculous but I don't, but then that is a personal preference ^_^

And if he had read there were SEVERAL that admitted to either not having a gf/bf or if they had one they either play with them ingame or don't... Either way I think he missed. Besides he might be that 11yr old in presear spamming - "Anyone need a B/F, message me!"

Led dear don't bait yourself >_<

It made for a lot of pretty awesome in-game drama, thinking about it.
When I was single, my ex-girlfriend cheated on her current boyfriend with me.
My ex-girlfriend was in my guild.
Her current boyfriend was also in my guild.
Hilarity ensued.

My boyfriend and I live together and are completely addicted to GW. We will usually play together, though not always team up together on the same missions and quests.
The most interesting thing i find about playing with a siginificant other is how the differences in our personalities play out with regards to friends and such. He and I have totally different type of people on our friends lists which can get interesting when we play together. I like much more abrasive and obnoxious players and therefore tend to spend alot of my time bantering with them while trying to accomplish whatever task and since I'm pretty brash my boy has read some interesting comments directed my way.
It's always fun to hear a "What did he just call you?!? coming from across the room.

My hubby and I met online at the time he played UT. I on the other hand barely knew how to turn a computer on...so I complained endlessly that he was spending too much time on his pc. Until I looked over his shoulder one day and saw he was playing Diablo II. After we beat that game to death we bought guild wars. And then Factions, and soon Nightfall. We have a healthy well- balanced relationship. We have interests outside of the game and computers. But this is a decently priced way for us to enjoy ourselves and unwind. It is a way for us to get away from the seriousness of real world issues and problems to get back to enjoying each other without asking him to back away from his computer or him asking me to put the broom down. We go out, we visit family, we play with our daughter.
To all those people that think that it is a bad idea that couples play video games together in this world where it is $3 for a gallon of gas I say to you that it may not be your cup of tea. But when it comes to feeding my daughter and playing guild wars with my husband or going out to a bar/movies/dancing/etc while my daughter lives on peanut butter all because mommy and daddy can't seem to spend time together other wise..
I am going to pick guild wars everytime.
Short story....some have no choice. It is video games or nothing.
I could break it down so that you understood the economics of it but then that would be pointless.

Funny thing is I didn't have a girlfriend when GW was released........good thing I am a casual gamer, I guess
EDIT: Hmmm....that's not quite right. We were together but she was about 1500 miles away. I forgot when the original release was. NO I DIDN'T FORGET HOW LONG I'VE BEEN DATING MY GIRLFRIEND!
Say anything to her and I'll kill you all

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.
Eet GnomeSmasher
So am I supposed to be happy being the "internet hardman" or am I supposed to be sad? Make up your mind dude.
tomcruisejr
had guildies that are couples. they both played frontline warriors one time in a GvG and the talks (to the point of arguing) in Vent are deffo cute.
well they say family that plays together, stays together. so thumbs up to gf/bf and couples in gw.

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.

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...

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...
keep it up and have fun...

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).

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.

sorry for being a lil off topic. i just found it funny.

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".

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!
