Looking for love in your favorite MMOG?

No, I'm not talking about Valentine's Day-themed quests or creepy cyber encounters. I mean the cutesy-wootsy, "long walks along the pixellated beach" relationship kind of love. Ethec has a few words of advice for those lonely hearts aching for that special someone with just the right... faction alignments.

What about dragging your significant other into an online world with you? My experience screams one thing: don’t push it. I tried to get a girlfriend interested in EQLive once five years ago. She made a bard, I gave her a queen’s ransom in plat and made a few strained attempts at powerleveling. Then she cancelled her account and broke up with me about a month later. If there’s a moral to the story (besides to get your plat back before your girlfriend cancels / breaks up with you), it’s that pressure to develop quickly will stifle anyone’s petty (if well-intentioned) interest.

Check out Ethec's opinion piece / valentine to you, and decide whether it's more akin to box of conversation hearts or a "Dear John" letter. It's right here at TenTonHammer Main!
