Is it possible to get my non-gamer girlfriend into EQ?

[Wotsirb401]

Studies have shown. aka my studies with all my gaming experience that girls enjoy and stick with support classes. I would think like Cleric/Dru/ ench would suit her better . But that is up to her!
My girlfriend just calls it " your game" . She says you going to play your game? I am like yep, but over time she seems more interested. Watching our raids and watching me kill innocent animals , she loves that lol

Get her to play Skyrim or something.

EQ is not the way to go here.

Unless you can get her chatting with people. The dungeon pixels with chat room is appealing to all who give it a chance.

I was partly thinking with a caster too that spell crafting/questing for spells and what not may make her a little frustrated? I dunno, just as a new gamer it may seem like a lot to get your new shiny spells.

Just grind in zones that drop words, should help a lot. Unrest drops a bunch, giants in Warslik Woods

By the time she actually needs to research/buy spells, she'll either love or hate the class. If she hates it, then buying/researching won't matter. If she loves it, then it'll be worth the extra effort.

There is NO WAY you are going to get your non-gamer girlfriend into EQ. Sorry, its not possible.

I will keep you guys updated on how it goes. I think when I get this IP exemption things will go a lot better for us. Instead of me barking orders at her we can actually play together [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I hope it comes quickly!

She says she wouldn't be comfortable grouping at the moment because she doesnt want people to get mad at her for sucking, heh. !

Until she gets FD and starts FD pulling, there is no real way she can suck in a group. So now may be the ideal time to start grouping and getting use to the best aspect of EQ. Besides, she's much more likely to stay if she makes other friends in game.

My 2cp. Good luck either way.

She did meet a couple people last night, and was really into talking to people which I saw as a sign of hope. She went to the EC tunnel and starting talking/dancing with random people before she logged. Heh.

Be careful, as this may happen:
