I made the worst possible mistake ever...
I introduced my girlfriend to WoW, and now she won't even let me get on my own computer half the time!!
She's only been playing for about a month and a half now and she's already got a 70 Warlock! It's rediculous, At first it wasn't too bad, because we spent alot of time talking about it and having fun, but now all she ever wants to do is play WoW...

I'm thinking about changing the account password, but I think she'd castrate me X.x;'

    You have to quit playing if you expect her too. Or get another computer.

    It's a pretty boring game once you realize it.

    Get another account in your name and transfer the character to that account. Give it to her. Tell her to find her own computer. Call it a Valentine's Day present.

    And that's how it happens folks...
    Now, you either need to both quit, or she needs to get her own account/computer. There's no way you're gonna be able to get her to quit and have her allow you to still play.

    But I think the most important question is...
    Alliance or Horde?

    Ridiculous. With an "i".

    In any case, if this is actually a serious thread, what exactly are you asking for? Do you want her to quit playing completely, or just cut back, or only play with you, or what? If it were me, I'd try to get her to quit playing altogether and then do the same myself - but my personal opinion on MMOs is that they are a huge waste of time and money, so I may be biased. Otherwise, you might want to consider buying/building her a computer so that the two of you can play together. It may be a waste of time, but at least you'll be wasting your time together instead of you being mad at her for using your computer.

    My personal opinion would be to ditch the game altogether (both of you). There are much better ways you can be spending your time.

    If that isn't going to be an option, then transfer her toon to another account and you guys can play together. But from what it sounds like, that will probably open up a whole new set of problems.

    You should have introduced her with a guest account, not yours.


    That was your first mistake.


    Anyways, ditch the game, or ditch the girl. Or level another character on a different account.

    Cancel your account, delete all of your characters. Problem solved.

    This is the only real solution.

    WoW is like a drug that sucks the soul away, it can be the anti sex pill for couples. And more than one couple has broke up once the guys started to hit up a girl once they realized OMG she really *IS* a girl.

    So yeah, get her off that ship before it sinks.
