Be careful, as this may happen:

That is fucking weird. My gf replied with "you can sleep with people in this game?"

No I know, it was meant as a joke. In all seriousness though...I know many years ago when I got my sister into the game she absolutely adored playing a cleric, although she absolutely insisted on wearing cloth armor instead of the bronze I got her to start out stating that "it looks prettier". All in all though she ended up raiding PoTime a ton and was in one of 7th Hammers best guilds when she got the hang of it.

Wow! That's awesome and super cool.

Jealous, I could only get my sister to get to about level 6.

I'd love to hear some more success stories on how people introduced their GF to the game. My GF loves console RPGs but hasn't really played any game with a keyboard/mouse before. Any advice on how to make her first experience with the game enjoyable?

Relax man.. I'm just reiterating my support of your original post. You didn't ask for success stories, I did. You didn't ask how to get your girlfriend to enjoy playing EQ for the first time... she's already started playing. You wanted advice on how to keep her playing.

I can't believe how touchy people are here. Here I am, expressing the same general ideas as the OP with some slightly different questions and he attacks me. Wow haha

I'm not attacking you man. Sorry it came off that way. I just thought that you didn't read the original post based on what you were asking. She only played EQ for about 15 minutes, so our questions are basically the same heh.

She became "interested" mainly by my constantly bugging her to try it out. I think shes just giving it a try to see if she likes it and make me happy at the same time.

It's not worth it... trust me on this.

My brother barely made it from Kaladim to Kelethin on his dwarf paladin before throwing in the towel back in 2000 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

To this day he refuses to play a game that doesn't have an ending... and I can see where he's coming from [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
