3. Someone I know got divorced over WOW

and not because he was playing it all the time. He and his wife made it their life. Every spare minute of their lives outside of work and sleep. Apparently they went on many adventures (quests?) together until one day he got killed. She didn't want to wait around forever for him to start over and recover his experience points so she divorced him and ran off with a "dwarf" who lives in Florida.

How fucked up is that?

4. She didnt know he could respawn at the graveyard?

She would have had to wait like maybe 5 min for him to catch up with her.

6. I have no idea

I know next to nothing about WoW save only what I learned on the South Park episode. But that's the story I was told. Perhaps (as with all breakups) there's more to it. I just find the idea of the wife running off with a WoW character insanely absurd.

7. Have you seen a female night elf?

I'd run off with that

8. elves are prettier than dwarves

I'd run off with Luthien...



The "fairest child of Elves or Men", the daughter of a Maia, and the most accomplished singer of all time. She also loved her man so much as to be willing to knock out her guards and leave home and face down Sauron and beat Sauron's sorry ass just to stand by him. She was willing to go with him straight to Thangorodrim itself, put one over on Morgoth(!), and even after all that still cared for him so much that she was willing to go to Mandos and talk the Valar into bringing Beren back to life. Let's face it: Luthien Tinuviel was one hot thoroughly accomplished scared-o-nothin' clever-as-hell broad.

5. Tragic, I wonder if she made off with all his gold. n/t
