How did you get your wife/gf to play?

[fugazi]

I introduced her to WoW, she liked it and now we occassionally play EQ together. She rolled a half-elf paladin, got killed by a corrupt Qeynos guard and instead of uninstalling the game she vowed to get high enough level so she could have her revenge. Lucky me?

WoW might be an easier introduction for MMORPG's, as EQ is rather unforgiving. Some like that, most new gamers anno 2010 seem to hate it. At least, thats my impression.
