Well I met my SO years ago, in an airline travel industry school back in 1969, and we got married in 1971.
IF EVER he would play UO, he would probably be a pk ! LOL
He doth not fathom UO, but he will comically tell me turn the volume down on the UO bleating sheep and my 70+ parrots squaking,
or he will tell our Shelties, 'mom's killing a cat again', when my cat statues meow.
I do know of about 4 couples on Siege & Chessie, that DID meet their future SO in UO though.
IF I recall I told em all just be very very careful, if ya do go meet em in rl, cuz
maybe the *character* they playing, is nothing remotely like whom they may really be
or behave like in rl.
Since I seemed to feel, or felt I thought I knew, the rl persons behind the chrs. they played,
I did not wish to see any of em get hurt.
And luckily they each were each SINGLE.
I seen some marriages of ingame folks, also become destroyed, cuz their roleplaying, went amuck and they broke up yrs. long marriages with their spouses that DID play uo with em, over some other with other online UO players too, to me if ya ARE married ya should remember that first, divorce if ya have to THEN go find another SO, not while ya ARE married, but whatever !
I liked them all of them once single, now 2 couples I know of on Siege,
and had hoped for the best for them,
and well when they had met in rl and seemed to hit it off *still*
and are still together, got married, or very close to being, the same thing as married.
So perhaps maybe if ya DO meet a genuine rl person behind chrs. they/you may be playing,
in UO,
one's whom ya may think of as ye friends, if they DO meet up in rl,
ya kinda figured they would hit it off and natch ya hope for the best, for both of em.
I shall continue um to 'moderate' them 2 couples I think of as Friends, on SIEGE
I wonder if the 4 of em even know how I about bit my fingernails down to about nothing,
when I worrily knew they were gonna, finally rl meet up !!
I feel like I am their mom or matchmaker, to a 'tiny degree' anyhow ! LOL
