how to get a wife started in mmorpg's

[Dantes]

Good luck. My fiance despises the game - she won't even try. She says it's ridiculous, yet she has a cafe, farm and fish tank on FaceBook. Luckily for me I setup EQ night with my buddies on Thursdays, which is when she watches Gray's Anatomy - so I tell her, look, do something I hate... watch that show... and I'll do something you hate, play this game [You must be logged in to view images.

Go down on her every time she levels.

Unnecessary, simply give her a jar of peanut butter and make the dog sit in front of her, have her apply peanut butter every time she levels.

Everyone knows, ALL dogs love peanut butter.

Yendor has a pretty good thought on the matter. Get her interested in the people side of it not so much the game side and she will play the game to play with the people.

And then when you find out she's cheating on you with a level 50 mage who is also a 14 year old nerd irl, you can go insane and bash her in with a hammer...

I would agree that getting her up to level 10 quickly and having her group somewhere would be a good idea.

Eh, i got her a new Droid yesterday. What does she do? Gets so involved in messing with it for the last 5 hours she let our tank die.

Twice.

My wife will only play in very small doses. She loves asking questions about the lore and stuff and enjoys hearing stories about raids and laughs at some of our vent conversations though.

You have to admit camping in a game is a difficult concept to grasp when you haven't been doing it forever. You have yourself this huge open ended world filled with non-linear game-play elements and all this stuff to see and do. Yet the most efficient way to progress is to sit in one spot for extremely long periods of time, then find a new spot in another zone and do the same thing, rinse repeat.

I wish it would be easier for her to just run around the world willy-nilly with no consequences but imagine trying to do a corpse run when the person isn't even sure what zone they were in.

yeah i hate getting people into games, because they expect you to hold their hand the whole time, then if you do hold their hand they will be asking you questions for the umpteenth time and that gets old...

And if you dont help them they die, or fuck up and then BAM they blame it on you and everything is your fault including that icelandic volcano eruption....
