Couples that play the same race

Community General Discussion

This is the first season in which some people’s partners have joined some of our progression raid runs and as of the last few months, some keys too.

There’s two couple that always have matching races for whatever they bring.

One’s a Troll couple (Boom/resto married to a warrior).

Ones a Vulpera couple (Resto shaman married to a MM Hunter). They are so very small.

Something about it feels particularly cute because I can pretend they’re just their races rather than the humans I’ve met them as.

Anyone like this in your guilds? Do you do this with your partner? (if they play).

I like when they are gnome/tauren or any small/big it just makes me giggle

My sense of humor has not “leveled up”

Reminds me of my greyhound and her bff that was a shih tzu. Grey doing her lanky & “I am so not in a hurry” walk and the shih tzu was practically trotting to keep up next to her. The shih tzu’s owner dubbed them Mutt & Jeff.

It is particularly cute if they actually have it be part of their “canon/story” that their characters are also together, it’s like a transcending boundaries sort of thing.

Speaking of which though, I am kind of surprised WoW hasn’t done any sort of in-game marriage thing outside of the Binding of Binding which kind of does it.

my Spouse and I are coincidently Both Night eleves. it wasn’t really Intenational since I started out as a Void elf Hunter but overtime i really like DH so we just ended up both being DHs lol. we Happened to switch off who tanks and who DPS depending on the expansion. I Tanked thru the DF expansion and he is tanking during this one. not really intentional but how it just happened overtime lol

Edit: I’m also a former Emo and now a Metal head who hangouts with a bunch of Goths. he was goth in the younger years so could be why we both ended up NF DH aesthetically.

I used to play with a couple who always ran as Night Elves and they’d usually always run stuff together. If they made alts they were night elves as well. My wife and I play together but we are not that way. She has always liked dwarves and gnomes while I stick with human or void elf. I don’t like the short races, she doesn’t like the tall :rofl:

I completely understand this.

I’m not in a relationship at the moment and my exes haven’t played WoW but I know I’d have a hard time playing Forsaken or Orc if my would-be partner wanted to do this.

It is cute.
If my wife played this game there’s no chance I’d play anything other than an annoying little Goblin, running around her 24/7 being a pest.

Not IRL married, but IC partner is a Half-Kaldorei IC, so sort of this.

My husband and I have made a few alts together that were the same race (ie: MoP made panda monks together that eventually both race changed to VE’s, Legion made NE DH’s together, etc…) but with the new starting area, or allied races all coming to SW/Org, it sorta petered out until the Dracthyr was opened up to more classes. But that was more if one can glide and the other cannot, someone (me) is going to fall off a cliff and forget their goblin glider.

I’ve (unfortunately) dated a lot of women from WoW and most of the time, we’re both blood elves. I know. Shocking.

My partner and I play many alts with a Quasi main each expansion so sometimes we end up playing the same race. However this expansion this is my “Main” and my partner is maining a Nelf hunter.

Sadly, I would think getting a partner for myself would be rather challenging, since I main this.

We’re an embarrassment to most eyes. Hardly anybody mains a Mechagnome.

… I would literally have better chances with a beloved fur baby.

Challenge accepted, we’re gonna get you a nice Goblin lady…maybe a Gnome? I’ve seen more than a few mechanics around SW.

My wife only played for a few months during Wrath. We had two sets of characters, who I would only play mine if she was on her corresponding character.

  • First was her Human mage with my Dwarf Paladin. After the level squish, they are both level 9.
  • We also had two Gnome Death Knights. After the level squish, they are 24.

I have not played mine since 2010, so they are still the same level as hers.
