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

I wouldn't even ask the question. Go get laid
One of my guildies married his GM from TBC and they have a beautiful child together and have been going strong for a decade.

I would be open to meeting someone on WoW but I don't think I could do an international relationship and even a long distance relationship within Canada would be pretty difficult.
Last time my buddy met up with a woman from WoW, she was 6 foot 5'' and 400 pounds of Jabba the Hutt with half rotten teeth.

It was painful to see that poor mans face, yet satisfying.

This is why i'd never meet someone I know on WoW.
Met my wife playing FFXI so to answer your question, yes, just in my case a different MMO.

Shes an amazing woman. Dunno what kind of a person I would have become without her. Probably angry and bitter.
As long as they didnt identify as an attack helicopter, maybe.
Been together almost 10 years. She was an officer in a guild I was in during Wrath’s launch and all I did was give her a hard time with healing assignments.

We didn’t even really get along until we went to a guild meet up. She tried to get my app denied and kicked multiple times.
We technically 'met' on a forum, exchanged social media details, but then, whenever I pinged her, she had a pop up AFK message on MSN saying she was playing her druid. She sent me RAF, and I went and bought the battlechest like day 4 of the trial account.

Been together 9 years, married 6.
I don't trust anyone until I've met them in person. Also I've been in a relationship for 5+ years now so I don't even consider dating to even be a thing anymore.

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?

Online dating is a thing. People meeting in wow have a common interest, gaming and maybe cosplay, to start up with. Why not if you end up finding more shared interests etc. Going to a bar and meeting a significant other isn't any better lol.

Fyi met my wife on a role play forum before online dating was a thing. 2 years of talking and we met then married a year after first meeting. 16 years and counting.
I met my longtime boyfriend through wow.

We were friends and guild mates first then realized that we were getting pretty close. We did a lot of skyping and playing wow together and just making time for each other.

Discussed options and decided to meet up in a city between us. Hit it off instantly and had an amazing weekend together hanging out st the hotel watching movies and playing games.

Spent 2 years apart with trips every few months. He’s in grad school so I moved out here a year and a half ago and were doing great.

We both realize how fortunate we are that this worked out.

I know of two other couples who met and married because of wow.

It definitely can happen but I’m not sure you can seek it out. If that makes sense.
Never again
I mean...I married my partner whom plays wow and got me into playing wow. So, had we met on wow first wouldn't have really changed my willingness to pursue a relationship and marry them again.

It all comes down to the individual. Long distance relationships are hard but it's the individuals and how you work at the relationship together that makes the difference.

That said, I don't personally care for long distance so, unless truly a great connection such as I had/have with my partner, it's not something I would purposefully seek out. I'm glad that we lived locally and were both gamers so we could relate on that along with much more.
Life is short so why would anyone potentially cut off a chance for finding that someone by ignoring a person from a MMO? Heck, they already share a common interest with you that is a start.
Only if she can buy me a brutosaur
Met my ex wife on WoW. Once was enough for me.
I didn't meet my hubby in WoW. But we met in FFXI. This year will be our 14th anniversary, and we have two kids.
Sure if i wasn't already married. Met my wife in Phantasy Star Online, and still gaming together 16 yrs later.

S***, I'm out of the running folks.
My wife and I were introduced by outside friends, but ended up dating online through WoW for about 6 months before we met in person. We also had Ventrillo chats, Facetime, etc through that time.

Nothing wrong with meeting someone online, but also don't assume. Online persona =/= the person behind it.
