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
href="http://www.contactrealm.com/" target="_blank">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.
