How did you get your wife/gf to play?

[thxer]

My now wife used to HATE me playing back when we were younger and she was just my GF. Finally I had to afk for something and had he do my job in the group. After that she was curious and had me buy her the game/account. So now she'll play when I come home from work, or she'll cover for me in my group when I need to run out for food or something. She's never been super into it or really any good at it, but she likes to play mostly just to be into what I'm into and spend time with me.

What a fag.

I just threatened to stop having sex with her.

I told my wife I would stop going down on her if she didn't play EQ with me...needless today, she still doesn't play...fuck.

My wife took control of my toon one night only to run him straight off of the deck in Kelethin.

Have given up on this ever happening, only games wife will play are racing games on the PS3 and iphone games.

It is enough of a battle for me to get playtime without her complaining about it

Why would you want her to play anyways? Wouldnt it be better if she was cooking, cleaning or working out while u get fat camping in lguk?

Also I dont want to sound sexist, but I never found a girl gamer that was "up to par" with gaming skills.

women are into viloence, especially when it is them inflicting pain on other human beings. Try to get her to play Ultima Online, lots of free servers out there, Show her how fun it is to kill someone and loot all their belongings (in game) Then you can be like, see- everquest is like that, except you can't kill players and you can't loot them- ok well maybe leave out the last part.

I worked in a game company for 2 years, and the best FPS player on our team was a girl. When i first played against her, i went easy. I lost. I then tried a bit harder, lost again. It then dawned on me that this girl was not only better than me at FPSs, she was the best player in the middle of a bunch of guys that have been playing FPSs since 1994.

Funny but I got to disagree with your second point. I know numerous RL girls who played EQ and they were as good as anyone. The wife in the married couple, in my post above, was quite skilled too. In fact, I can't think of any RL female player in EQ who did not play well. Amusingly, I've met a lot of male (or suspected male) players who couldn't play for shit.

Edit: Ok, I have to confess. The first response I typed out and submitted was simply: Fuck you. But then I realized that wasn't very ladylike and changed it. Enjoy your highly-skilled sausage fests groups. Me and my sub-par groups will just continue to gimp along. lols
