Need a Date? - An Interview with the Creator of ContactRealm

Posted August 25th, 2008 by Cody Bye

For many individuals, online gaming is a release from the stresses of the real world. It’s a way to escape the trappings of the real world, but so many within these virtual worlds find real friendship with players from all over the various real world continents. But what about those gamers that are new to a game and want to find a friend? Or the people just looking to find a partner that actually shares their favorite hobby? That’s where ContactRealm comes in, an online dating/community service that helps bring like minded gamers together in love or friendship. To find out more about this site, Ten Ton Hammer’s Cody “Micajah” Bye asked Oliver “massi” (the creator of ContactRealm) a number of questions that Ten Ton Hammer readers might be interested in. Enjoy!

Ten Ton Hammer: How did you initially come up with the idea of ContactRealm? Why did you feel it was necessary to create this service for players?

Oliver:
I reside in Sweden where there are lots of people (especially in Scandinavia) that in the wintertime don’t see a single person due to their remote locations. Internet is a very important part of our communication. In my guild, there were many single guys, gals, mother and fathers that work hard but really don’t feel like running the typical bar rat dating race on the weekends.
