On Line Gaming

In my last post I asked how everyone met. I noticed there was quite a few that met during a On-Line Game. Just a quick couple questions. (lol) might actually find some others who play the same game that Jeremy and I still play.

Who all met in an ON LINE GAME and what game was it?

We met on Ultima Online. Anyone else play that game?

Hi Summer, I'm an old timer here, don't have time to post much these days, but I pop in and out.
My David and I met in UO as well, had a nice wedding in the flower garden behind the palace in Nu'jelm in fact.
He's 20, I'm 48, we've been living together just a couple months shy of three years now. He moved 1200 miles to be with me.
One more interesting factoid, my older daughter's name is Summer.
How 'bout that?

I will never play an online game again. Want details. PM me.

yup, met in the online game utopia

We met playing There.

Met playing EQ years ago also. In fact, the only reason I still play is because he does. Now that he's working until 10pm my time I only play a couple nights a week.

I play an enchanter ;)

I met my first much-younger guy on an online game (that was over 4 years ago, and he was 15 years younger. And yes, we did meet in person).

When I met my current YM, one of the things that brought us together is that we both played online games, but we didn't -meet- on a game. However, I invited him to join me on mine, and we are married there. :)

Well, we didn't meet in an online game, but on a one of the Scifi.com bboards. However we did use Diablo and now Diablo 2 as date night. We would play online and pretend we were out togehter. It was great fun and we still play together to remember those sweet days in the past.

We are getting the new Sacred game, but haven't played much else because there isn't much that will let you play cooperatively.

Swan, I know you got hurt, but you have to take things slowly when you meet anyone on line and they absolutely have to tell you the truth. How do you know it's the truth? The answer doesn't change. Listen well and remember what they say so you can see if they change their facts. Sometimes we want to believe that everyone is as honest as we are and we trust too soon. Love online or in real life takes time to develop.

Peace,
Jane

met my baby in DAoC - Dark Age of Camelot :D

I am telling you, the lies that were spoken were beyond comprehesion... he sent me gifts. I have about five cds and he sent me wine and he had his friends talk to me every day.

Nothing in my wildest dreams could have prepared me for the deception.

I recently talked to another woman that knew about all this, but when we played the "game" I hated her. Turns out she is a totally beautiful woman who I will probably be friends with for years. But at the time, my GUY told her I was some clinging person that he wanted to get rid of. So she did everything she could to piss me off. Meanwhile he asked me to marry him... and meanwhile his best friend who is probably him.. asked another woman to marry HIM...

Online is sick.. Ok I was trusting.. ok God give me strenghth, I believed..

NEVER DO ONLINE, NEVER NEVER NEVER unless there is very very real confirmation of who they saY they are.

Edit: the woman my man was dealing under another name loved him totally as well. Sometimes words come easy.. for a person who knows how to weave them. I was totally unprepared for a word weaver.

I just believed.

Swan, online isn't so different from real life. People lie and cheat and play games. Never trust anyone unless they give you a reason to trust them. Take everything with a grain of salt and most of all *give it time*!!!

I remember you saying that you didn't have his home phone number or even his last name and yet he asked you to marry him. Major red flag! Real people want to meet and get to know each other. You should have names, addresses and even the name and number of his place of employment. I knew this and more about Dave long before we met.

There was a guy who the military busted a while back who had a number of women on the hook. He was playing them all and it was easy because they never asked for confirmation of who he was.

Fairytales are for children. Get the facts when you meet someone whether its online or at your corner pub. The heart your save may be your own.

Peace,

yes BearsAngel, I remember that story, at the time it meant nothing to me. God. how pertinant it seems now, guess I should SUE LOL

Really don't care that much... I just confirmed with him and the "friend" that it was all a total lie, right from the beginning. And I was the total fool. I could give you a case study here but let's just say it cost me thousands of dollars and months of my life waiting for someone who thought I was a joke.

I met my husband in EVERQUEST just over 3 years ago. We were friends in the game for about 6 months then met in person (he's from France, I was in the US at the time)... 6 months after that first meeting we were living together and 2 years later we were married.

It really didn't make a difference that we met in the game vs. traditional ways. We were both open and honest from the beginning and things grew from there.

:)

I met my "friend" on EQ ( I used to Call it EVERCRACK!) about 3 years ago. I am actually flying out to see him again next weekend.

Its weird to think how one silly little game ended up influencing a good part of my life lol. I still have my account even tho neither of us play anymore..I was such a crack monkey that I finally just had to stop haha. I know this isn't what your specifically asking but I remember how deep I got into it for a few years..I mean I would get home from work log on and hours and hours later still there! lol It was such a weird time in my life..my marriage was coming to an end and it really helped me not feel alone for a little while until I could get back on my feet again. I was able to "shut out' the annoying and painful stuff in life and kinda just hang in my own little world for a while. AFter a while I needed to come back out ..but I'll always be grateful for the people I met. I made about 3 really good now real life friends. Playing that game with my currant guy really gave us a year of getting to know each other! He's 21 and I'm 36 ( I'm in Michigan and he's in Ore)..and we see each other about 2-4 times a year. We have been talking about making the big leap and having him move out here.

One think I loved about meeting someone in that type of environment is that you can really really get to know someone by having to spend so many dang hours getting frustrated and having to cooperate constanttly to get anything done haha. It can be a great training ground.

Anyway..thanks for letting me share. I love coming to this site ..it helps me keep perspective.

Gosh talking like this makes me want to go Log on Fennin Ro and talk to all my old friends!
