Would you ever date and possibly marry someone you met in WoW?

I'm in a long distance relationship with someone that lives in the same country as me. We just live in different parts.

For now it's long distance. I eventually plan on moving to where they live. Or have them move here with me. Whichever works.
I would. Currently looking, actually. It's no different than meeting up in any other social space. It's just that within a game, you are more likely to find someone who have the same interest in gaming, or anything else that may have ties to gaming (cosplay, anime, etc).

Just like any form of online dating, you'd take the same necessary steps (and checks) in relationship progression. Talk online for a few. Agree to meet up somewhere public and hang out. Repeat as necessary until you both either agree comfortably with marriage, remain friends, or part ways.
This reminds me of Groucho Marx's letter of resignation to the Friars' Club: “I don't want to belong to any club that would accept someone like me as a member.”
I know it happens a lot, but i'm going to stick to real life interactions. Possibly a better outcome.
War would totally date a WoW chica. Maybe for once it would lead to a relationship where the other person understood what playing an mmo means. LoL My ex wife sure as heck didn't. I'm down ladies. War is at your service.

This is my perfect wow man.
*introvert by choice - has the ability to be social when he wants
*sick sense of humour
*not a sjw or politically correct, not a male feminist
*low key hates most people on wow
*doesn't want to make real friends out of people on wow, i mention this because i find it super pathetic when people on wow are desperately looking for friends and that family vibe
*likes grinding and achieves
*isn't scared to pvp - my ex love interest was a wuss with warmode off and i couldn't get him to do a simple bg
*is better at the game than me, can tank and isn't a healer... guys who can only play healers are gross and so are dudes who i have to carry
*isn't fat
*doesn't smoke weed

Long, related story: After my first MMORPG got sunset, I swore off the genre entirely due to the ridiculous amount of time and effort that they required (old-school ones, anyways). After several years, when I started to vehemently hate my job and my girlfriend at the time (now my long-gone ex) turned more and more into a lunatic with each passing day, I decided to give the genre another try for the sake of finding a bit of a mental escape and ended up on a very fun, very casual game that had a lively RP scene at the time.

Being the antisocial person I am, I didn't much care to participate in the RPing, but I did enjoy watching it. On several occasions, a female Dark Elf (whom I thought for sure was a dude) approached me and attempted to RP. After ignoring them and blowing them off two or three times, they finally got me to interact and roleplay with them. Little did I know that she'd soon become a great friend, and then in real-life several years later, my wife.

To this day, we still game together with our PCs and Xboxes side-by-side, and while we no longer play the MMORPG that we'd originally met on, we still regail each other with nostalgic stories from those days.

hi bby
Sure.

I'm very happily married to someone I met when they joined my guild. We clicked almost instantly, and 3 months later they were living with me. Years later it's still wonderful and I feel like I 'won' world of warcraft ;)
i had a guildy send me nudes once without asking for them, not trolling.

No regrets. Best thing to ever happen to me.

No......I'll just leave it at that
That'd be a mighty high bar for me...

But anything could happen.... So I say possible, but improbable.
Marriage is not for me. Ever. Let's just say by and large I am not fit for human consumption.
