Many stories I've heard about people meeting up and having successful happy marriages through wow. Of course I've also heard stories of cat fishing, cheating, people getting robbed and other bad things. Now its always nice to hear success stories and good to hear about the bad ones to know what to watch out for. Would this ever be a remote possibility for you under the right circumstances?
Nah. They may turn out to be a G.I.R.L (Goblin in Real Life) after my engineering recipes and hard earned gold :( Learned my lesson after trying the dating site gnomemeetup.com Never making the same mistake again!

Sure, If I wasn't a bitter person due to circumstances. Let's just say had my life gone different and I kept my core concept of love from when I was younger. I would openly love anyone no mattter where I met them simply because true love doesn't care.
That said, due to an extremely bad marriage I believe love is overrated and any thoughts of such a thing is pure lunacy. Love is simply a weakness that leaves you vulnerable and has no real benefits you can't get for cheaper without some paper that in the end of the day means literally nothing.

I met a really good friend in wow but I wouldn't marry him or date him
Happily married and expecting

sure, why not?
people use tinder and crap, why not use wow?
of course, I'd want to get to know them first before even thinking about dating them or anything. Maybe meet up for a convention or something along those lines.

Same. It wasn't in this game but another... For the longest time I thought I had an online boyfriend, but then they were a girlfriend >.<

what about a one mythic stand?
I know of three couples who met over WoW and ended up getting married so it isn't unheard of...
I think you will find there are a great variety of people out there. Some 1% of WoW players are probably psychopaths. About half are neutral people, and the rest are probably generally well meaning people. I think you can potentially find someone through WoW, but you do need to keep your guard up. I'd suggest a public place and a group meeting for your first encounter (especially if you are a woman). Also make sure you do not have an open drink, and avoid consuming too much alcohol.
Truth is that someone you met in WoW is unlikely to actually assault you. The reason is that Blizzard saves chatlogs and has a whole history of your character. If you filed a report, the police could easily get the guy's information and track him down.

I wouldn't be opposed to a romantic relationship with someone I first encountered in WoW, but I wouldn't actively try to date them unless we also met in person.
I'd much rather have out first encounter be as real people who found out we knew each other from WoW than as trying to meet someone from WoW and finding they aren't as advertised.
Weird, normally it's the other way around.

I knew someone that met their S.O. In the game. I was very good friends with both of them. We've lost contact over the years, as life goes on, but when I last spoke to them, they were very happily married.
Although probably pretty unlikely, I wouldn't be against it.
Obviously meeting in person first before anything serious is very important. If there is no attraction and WoW was the only thing in common it definitely wouldn't work out.

anything possible, you never know that random person you bump into in-game could be the one but its funny that when this question is asked, people automatically jump to the conclusion that you have to treat WoW like Okcupid or something.
if they are willing to meet in real life and develop a relationship face to face instead of through a monitor screen then yes, i would potentially date them.
the problem is most people that meet through games like WoW tend to live in different areas far apart (ie: person A lives in Virginia while person B lives in Colorado)

I am a woman in real life. I swear it! Just maybe not the one you were expecting :)
i met my husband 10 years ago this november during wrath of the lich king, when i was priest officer for a hardcore raiding guild and recruited his discipline priest into our raid team. A few months later he confessed his feelings to me, we met in person a few months after that (after lots of skype video calls... not trying to get catfished), and the rest is history. :P
I met my spouse playing wow.
Was at the BMAH and I was like "I like your mog".
The beginning of a true love story.
Now we have two young kids, life is insane, and barely have time to play.
Have been married about 4 years now.
g.g.

I met my wife through wow. In MoP we were both recruiting officers for our guilds. We were both short on raiders (we are pretty casual raiders) so our guilds worked together. Eventually we absorbed them.
Honestly we butted heads for awhile on how to do things (assisting in raids and what not), but one of the other officers recommended to her to talk to me. So we became friends for awhile. Skyped for awhile. Chatted and texted on the phone for awhile.
Then she asked if I wanted to come down to meet her (her in West Virginia, me in Michigan). That was pretty nerve racking to meet someone you've only known online really.
Eventually I moved down there with her as I worked a pretty crappy job. We dated (asked her out in minecraft; spelled out in obsidian and lava).
We took trips up to Michigan to see my family. I proposed to her on a beach in Michigan. She said yes.
She was getting anxious planning out the wedding so we eloped to Vegas.
We now live in Arkansas and couldn't be happier. We both still enjoy playing wow and raiding casually. To my Lunanox - Sen'jin
