MMORPG's SUCK!!!

[Razielian]

I can't stand them I wish I could sue someone..
I lost my bestfriend and girlfriend to an mmorpg.... Final Fantasy XI.
I haven't been able to see her in like 2 weeks so we had a date set last night to go out and be together all night. We were supposed to meet at the restaurant.. Guess who didn't show up.
So I drove to her house to see if she was alright.. She's upstairs playing final fantasy and refused to go anywhere untill here "quest" was complete... I waited for 2 hours.. and I was so upset I told her I loved her but I needed a girl that knew the difference in real life and gaming. Kissed her goodbye.. :(

As for my best friend. Everytime I go over there to hang out he sits on if *bleeping* pc for hours playing that game and all I do is watch or sleep on the couch. So aggravating.. In the end out playing these games for months or even years.. I see it as a waste of time.. "Ohh I got level 233. I'm the strongest one out there!" Whoopdy freekin doo..

Quit whining and buy yourself a copy.

Not everyone thinks real life is all that exciting.....

No doubt, I think for the most part girls are to stubborn to try games and/or afraid they may get addicted. I know most girls see gaming as a "guy thing" but you know yur a lucky guy if u see yur girl come sit by u an she picks up a controler :p

Razielian can't beat em, join em. You can have jus as much fun by the end of the night wether yur playin a game for a together or goin out to the real world. trust me yur lucky dude she already into games I no my girl will play em but i'm in no rush to introduce her to them, lotsa time for that, yur one up on lotsa ppl in this world

Jeeze never thought I'd ever hear about a guy complaining about his girlfriend playing video games too much. You made a bad decision dumping her my friend.

[Razielian]

You don't understand.. I don't mind that she played video games but I don't like the fact that they rather have thier face in a monitor instead of having a romantic night out at an expensive restaruant. Nice hotel with win afterwards.
I was getting tired of saying I love you through aim and talking to the back of her head when I'm at her house...

You might understand one day when your deeply in love and she would put.... chess before you or sumething...
Can't really explain it.... :(

[dumbanddumber54]

Wait if you were in a serious relationship I could see the problem. Like so many women mad at their boyfriends or husbands for watching football more than having time together. In that case you did the right thing knowing that the relationship could go no farther. (OMG I'm sopunding like Dr. Louria!):eek:

[Razielian]

It's almost like her gateway out of the relationship was through the computer.

[TiGgErDbC]

maybe you should take a hint :t

[Ammok]

she plays CHESS!!!!, marry her you fool.......NOW!!!!





ermmmmmmm.........whats her phone number........







:D

Shame it had to end, but if she's not as upset as you are about it, then as harsh and crushing as it sounds, it was probably the right thing to do anyway. She obviously didn't care about the relationship as much as you did. I suppose the best phrase to sum it up would be '**** happens'.

I don't know any girls who play games... I'd love to meet a genuinely down to earth gal who played video games... unfortuntely they're a rarity.

My bride and I have been married going on 15 years now. She never thought she'd enjoy computer games and punching holes in paper - activities I enjoy immensely. Now she plays with AoE2 with me and the kids, and at one point, owned more pistols than I did (albeit briefly :))

The moral of this story is, if you really love the girl, you would show an interest in what she likes from time to time. It sounds like she took a liking to what you like to do - but in a different venue. So, spend a couple of hours in an MMORPG, have her guide you in the games - you never know, you might grow to like it too.

In the meantime, think about ways of winning her back from the evil game. Think in terms of overwhelming but focused romance - something she can't ignore, something that will snap her back to reality. That is, if you still have feelings for the girl.

It's true show an interest. it shows u care about her, an nuthin seems to turn on a girl the most is to have to show their guy how to do sumthin specially if yur trying to learn how to participate in thier interests, makes them feels useful and from my experiencees girls like to no thier needed and wanted, na by taking an interest in her game getting ehr to teach you, onluy show u care an need her :t

I think what Razielian needs to ask himself, is whether it's worth it. Wait, hear me out! -

This gal likes to play online games, that's great. They were in a relationship, that's great too. Now, Raz really liked this girl, he loved her to bits... and felt neglected. Felt like he was being put 2nd to a videogame, which is bound to hurt. I've felt a similar feeling of neglection myself, and it's not good. Now, if their relationship was so strong, why was she so blind to the fact it was about to get totally screwed up? I can understand if it was something important that was taking her attention away (death of a loved one, someone else she was getting feelings for confusing her) but it wasn't. At the end of the day, it was a videogame. A fun, but somewhat lame reason for letting her boyfriend get so wound up!

What I mean when I say;

if she's not as upset as you are about it, then as harsh and crushing as it sounds, it was probably the right thing to do anyway. She obviously didn't care about the relationship as much as you did.

probably sounds a bit too narrow minded, but it could be true. If things are still over with you two, is she upset? Really upset? You need to ask yourself Raz whether or not she loved you as much as you loved her. If the answer's yes, then it's probably worth trying to appreciate her hobby with her, but if the answer's no, then it's probably best to do what you did in the first place and walk away. One day, she'll realise she made the wrong decision. Okay I'll shut up now! :rolleyes:

Wow.. thanx Radiohead. After reading your post I've gotten like 10 times more happier.

You gave me confidence. When I told her I was leaving she told me to hold on untill the battle was over so she could say goodbye. That pissed me off even more...
I moved on..... If one day down the road she callse me. I'll listen, not sure whats gonna happen but I'll listen..

Thanx for helping me out. :p

That would **** me off as well, that's a cold, but wut can u do i suppose, move on, tons of other women out there, obviously she wasn't worht your time if she gunna ull that **** :t

[Radi0h3ad]

Glad I could help :)

But it's only cos I've felt a similar feeling. You start to think the world is a seriously screwed place, and that you wasted so much time... but you havent. Like Skitzy said, there are way more gals out there... it doesn't seem possible at first, but once you've gotten over this a little better, you start to see that it's true! If anything it's all experience.

The only negative thing is you'll now have a bitter grudge against all MMORPG's! :x
