In game/ real life couples?

Re: In game/ real life couples?

When I got a new computer I told my wife to buy this game. She is now even more hooked than I am! It's cool though because now we have lots of bonding time.

Re: In game/ real life couples?

My wife and I met in an old text based mud when I backstabbed her character in town square, killed her, and looted all her equipment.

That was 8 or 9 years ago, we have been gaming together ever sense.

We just started FFXI, so pardon the non "cutsey cuddly positions" we don't know how to do that yet.





pardon the screenshot, it wasn't until we tried to take a screenshot that we discovered our keyboards do not have scroll lock buttons, so it's taken with a camera. I've since put fraps on both of our computers. :D


EDIT:
Don't bad mouth X-2, it wasn't that bad. Granted I didn't dig the story, but i enjoyed leveling up the dress spheres just to see what the next skill was. :D

When I was a BLM and she was a WHM.

We met in-game and see eachother outside of it. It's always nice to be able to say, "This guy has no idea how to end a skillchain!" and have her respond, "What a noob."

We both vent to eachother about game stuff

It was a year and a half ago when I just started playing the game and when I met Ceolwulf. He is an awesome boyfriend, and even though he has his relentless times, I find it hard for anyone not to get along with him. It's quite funny hearing him complain about the noobs, and how FFXI messes up some of the jobs, mobs, and/or areas with each update. I guess some of it has rubbed off on me XD

My boyfriend and I both play female characters in game, I never really asked him why he decided to play a mithra. >_> oh well.



My ex played ffxi as well. It seems to be a requirement in dating me, you must play ffxi!

Pictures of me and my boyfriend~ We use to play WoW together, and after things got too stress for the both of us, he suggested FFXI and I'm having tons of fun. ^^

I believe we moved here shortly after our one year anniversary.
This are kind of old, I really should take more screenies more often...

Careful what you wish for.



You might end up with one that likes FFX-2.



><;

Why don't people like FFx-2? It's not terrible...the music is and the story is (I only played it to see if Yuna and Tidus were reunited). I just played it because it was a continuation of FFX which was a good game.

Re: In game/ real life couples?

All the pictures here are awesome! I got my b/f pretty interested when i let him use my character, but then I stopped letting him play after he refuses to get his own account to play with me

A friend gave me a free pass and I was wondering if I should give it to him so he can start but if he messes up in school I'll probably be the one to blame

But yeah, lucky to all of you who gets to play w/ your mates!!

I'll have to agree... alot of people say FFX-2 was horrible, but I really did love it.

Re: In game/ real life couples?

I've only had one girlfriend and she wasn't into games. And that was...uh...Several years before I started playing. I never really got the online relationship thing, so that might be why I never approached it with any seriousness. That and I have a terrible personality, so people are repulsed by me. :D

Re: In game/ real life couples?

The following was posted by someone on another forum. I don't know if it's real or not.

Ok, I have never posted here before but if there was ever a time to post one, now is it.

It all started when I introduced my girlfriend to FFXI. I got her in my high end game Linkshell thinking she would hit level 20 and then quit. She actually became quite involved, and I helped her with quests and such.

Anyway, fast forward to her hitting level 30 with WHM. After some convincing I get her to do an advanced job quest and get SMN. She really got into the game and started to take a more active role in our LS, and she is very happy about this.

It was kinda nice, coming home after work, and sitting in the same room with her, being able to share my hobby. I thought it strengthened our relationship significantly. We talked a lot more, spent more time together, and generally got along better. I should have known that when FFXI became the topic of conversations 90% of the time that it might be getting too unhealthy.

After she was geared up a bit, she got more comfortable with partying with out me and chatting with the Linkshell members. Now, I'm not the passive aggressive type so I made sure all of those little nerds knew that she was my woman, and that we lived together. She had a few puppy dogs follow her around, but nothing too serious. However, I began to notice that her and my Linkshell leader had been talking quite a bit in tells. Every time I came in the room she would switch to linkshell chat so I couldn't see what she was talking about in tells. I thought nothing of it, I used to have a nervous tick like that when I lived with my parents.

Well, one day I came home and she was in the bathroom. I looked on her screen and saw some very... sexual and detailed conversation with my Linkshell leader. My heart starts pounding.

I storm to the bathroom door while she's taking a crap and start pounding on it, I screamed "ARE YOU SCREWING MY LINKSHELL LEADER" "ARE YOU SERIOUSLY FREAKING DOING THIS TO ME?" Silence. She knew what happened. She knew she should have logged off when she went to take a crap. I guess it was fate's way of clueing me in on what the hell was going on.

She came out after about 20 minutes and told me that she had fallen in love with my Linkshell leader, let's call him "Tom".

Tom lives about 4 hours from us and we had never met, but she later confessed that one of the weekends she spent with her "parents" was actually at Tom's house. She said they had sex, a lot.

I started crying uncontrollably. What was I going to do? We are in a lease contract for another 7 months, how the hell can I handle this? I went right to bed and locked the door, she slept on the couch that night. Days went by and we didn't talk much, and she slept on the couch. I stopped playing FFXI all together.


I thought I could live out the lease until I heard that she is having Tom over. I !&$%ing flipped. She claimed that she had a right to have people over, just like I did. I had to concede and let her invite this jerk over. When he got there I just kind of glared at him to let him know I was pissed and not having any of his crap. He doesn't say anything to me and then they go in the computer room and shut the door.

I got to my bed and start to cry.

Then it starts. I hear them screwing. I start going insane with jealousy, rage, and sadness all at once. I don't know what to do. I went to the kitchen and got two Unisom, took them, and passed out shortly after.

That was last night. This morning, I logged on to FFXI and deleted my mage in a crying fit. I then kicked my computer so hard that the heatsink fell off of the CPU and smashed into my video card, breaking it.

I guess I'm at a loss. I really don't know what to do. I've thought about killing myself, but I don't think it would be fair to me, or my friends and family... what little I have.

That story made my heart sink and I broke into tears... and I have no idea who that person is...

Yeah, I laughed in the middle but then near the end it got downright sad.

Don't take it too hard, however, because it may or may not be true.

Re: In game/ real life couples?

If that story is true, that guy has more to worry about than a cheating girlfriend. Also, his girlfriend has some issues.
