Inde you're such a Negative Nancy today 
I've only heard of relationships ending over compulsive gaming but had those people not had gaming it probably would've been something else anyway. I recently learned some people can be addicted to "online mature entertainment" and as you might imagine, that has caused more than a fair share of failed relationships. Off topic I know but w/e, I thought it was weird adn worth sharing.
Personally I've never ended a relationship because a game and can't imagine doing so, but I have broke up with at least one person because she, like a lot of women, just can't tell time.
"I'm busy I'll call you back in five" does not mean hound my damn phone for the next ten minutes or fill up my voicemail with useless ranting and threats. It means I will call you back in about five minutes since you're not talking about anything interesting, and I'm busy - maybe on a game or maybe handling other business. Point is, don't bother me for about five minutes. Check your watch or something.

Squishy ftw
Guildwars doesnt end relationships, nor is it the cause of it.
If your relationship ends because you spend more time on GW than with your partner then there are far bigger problems in your relationship than GW.
Like, why is GW more entertaining for you than your partner FFS ?
If you can't appreciate a good partner and give her/him the attention they need then you deserve to be abandoned. Love is very valuable, cherish it..before it's gone.

I knew people that played grindy MMOs. I told them it sucked and they said GW sucked because of lack of item diversity. I said at least I'm not grinding for stuff.

I don't see why a relationship should come to an end because one of the two plays Guild Wars.... unless of course one of the two becomes an addict and loses interest in their gf/bf.
About meeting people on GW. I don't know anyone that desperate.

Trust me the 50ies idea of men working while women stay home to tend the nest works because when you both work 50-70hours each a week nothing gets done at home and your both to tied to give a damn about each other.

Ive been playing GW for a long long time... But February 8th will be 5 years for me and my GF, so Ive been with her much longer. She dislikes the amount of time I spend playing, but we never fight/argue about it. If this game would make a "partner" end the relationship between you two; you're better off without'em.

No matter what your hobby is, you should be allowed to do it in peace. I understand some people do have a problem with knowing when enough is enough but people should also realize that other people can be unreasonable and expect too much. hence why my ex is now my ex and my GF is NOT my ex. 50/50 FTW. GW is ONE of many reasons why my ex got kicked. Her build was bad and she just wasn't a team player. |
I have to say i agree to a large extent, ideally (As has been stated before) gamers need to date gamers - its like goths dating goths for example, you should date someone that will understand your interests otherwise you tend to be dating someone whose not enough like you to make the relationship work!
Mine and my bf's realtionship works because we are both gamers (even if he is a filthy wow player) we can talk to each other about stats, characters and the like and we D&D together too with our friends - which is great fun (Apart from his scaryily-uncanny knack with dice. I swear its rigged!)

Hmm, not in GWs yet. But in WoW? OMG, what a mess that game made of half the adults in my last guild, destroyed real-life friendships, divorces, mass hysteria and screaming fits over Vent, a couple of hook ups, well I guess it's kind a like real life, and not like real life. . . . Funny how people only escape reality to find themselves making the same mess in virtual reality. But yeah, no fun in WoW when most of your guild is fooled into thinking they're playing something worth more than RL, "It's just a game." I'd keep telling them. Addiction has a way of ignoring the truth.

I've had some pretty bad luck with girls in guilds. The guy's would fawn and flirt with them constantly and e-flirting/drama would ensue. The last guild I was in was actually pretty mature and with a few girls, but me and my friend got banned from there for jackassery (we thought that IQ wouldn't win the championship, my friend got in a fight with a few of them, we left.)
Since Balan brought it up, I can't really comment a whole lot on WoW's e-drama since my guilds are pretty casual and hence pretty mature. I will say that a lot of people take it more seriously, and since it has a whole lot more people, there will be a whole lot more drama. Here's one of the biggest incidents of this happening, and it's so legendary it has its own WoWwiki page!

My girlfriend plays with me. Furthermore, she got me started on the game.
I've met some friends, but no more seriously than "Let's go clear ______" or "Let's do _________" in game.

I'd give up sex and internets for food. Nothing beats good food. I tell ya. If I'm not fat enough to be rollin down the hill then life sucks.
Curse You
I can't say I know of any relationships between people playing Guild Wars. My guild is mostly inactive, save for half the officers and some members. As far as I know, all the currently active members are male, straight male.
WTB GF?
LFP for sex! 
Who says the e/mo can't take the charr on?

Seriously, if I'm busy, I'm busy. I've had my ex come over to 'surprise' me at my house and he'd get pissed because I was playing. If he was in a WoW raid and I called/pm'ed him on MSN he would reply that he was raiding and would talk to me later, so I'd go off and play my games. Then he'd call me back later and I'd be playing and he'd get mad if I told him I'd talk to him later. If I didn't answer a phone text he'd call up within 5 minutes to demand why I didn't answer. Or he'd come into WC3 to check if I was on Bnet and b*tch at me. So I made a new name for BNet and put my MSN on "appear offline".
I mean seriously, just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I spend my life pining for my boyfriend. If I call him and he's busy, I am bloody well gonna do something else rather than wait beside the phone for his call. I expect him to do the same. When I'm playing a game, half the time I'm too engrossed to even hear my phone vibrate on the table. And I don't throw a hissy fit when HE doesn't hear MY calls.
Oh, and he'd get all mad if I told him he wasn't playing properly. Sheesh, if you suck in Dota, you suck in Dota, no amount of lying is gonna change the fact that you are a liability.
...Contrary to popular belief, I AM quite a nice person.
