There's me and Zodd ... I wonder what our children are going to be .. since I'm Paladin and Zodd's Dark Knight ...

Started out as in-game couple at first ... but are a real life couple too (going steady for almost 5 month now :) )

No offense, but don't go looking for love in an online game.

FFXI is a place for many people to roleplay. I don't necessarily mean pretending to be a Tarutaru. I mean FFXI is a dream world, where a person can act however he or she wants to, with no RL consequences for his or her actions. Many people do not act the same way in the game as they do in real life. And they don't have to.. It's just a game.

FFXI is not a dating service. It is just a virtual game people play for fun. Any type of relationships formed in RL because of relationships in the game are awesome.. but very few and far between. For every FFXI player who has met their significant other in RL after meeting them in the game... there are 1000 FFXI players who have never met anyone in RL that plays the game, much less their love interest.

I would venture to guess that many players do not put their heart and soul into an online relationship with fellow FFXI players, even if they consider themselves boyfriend/girlfriend. It's the internet. It's a bunch of people that live hundreds and thousands of miles away. It's a bunch of people you will most likely never meet. To devote everything to one of these people is not something to take lightly.. and honestly doesn't happen too often.

From the viewpoint of a female in the game: There are so many male players, and not enough female players. Ever since my first day playing FFXI (2 years ago!), female characters earn the attention of many a-male player. Some offer nothing but catcalls and cyber-fun. Others offer items and gil to win your affection. Some devote themselves, which can be creepy when they're spouting poetry and love songs and you don't even know each others' real names. If a female player is playing FFXI just for the fun aspect of the game, then it's very easy to take advantage of offerings by male characters.. in the form of items, gil, or even just help. Most of the times these females aren't "playing mind games" or "cheating with other guys".. They are just playing the game and using resources available to them. Of course there are always those that abuse what is given to them.

Real relationships initiated by FFXI take time and patience to mature. Joining a LS and meeting someone one day, and telling that person you love them without actually knowing much about the person... Well, I'm afraid that 99.9% of the time, that's not love. That's puppy love. That's like in elementary school.. When every girl went home on the first day of school telling their parents about how much they love the new boy because he's so cute.

I met my significant other playing FFXI. About a year and a half ago (when I was level 65 on my first job - WHM) is when I first "met" him in the game. We were in the same noob HNMLS (which was actually the first stand-alone NA HNMLS on the server) for about 2 weeks. I don't know if we actually ever talked. When I was 68, I started XPing with him over and over again. We talked more and more. I joined an HNMLS, and I hated that I could no longer do things with him any time I wanted, since I was camping HNMs 3-9 hours every day. So he joined the HNMLS, also. We talked on AIM. After several weeks, we started talking on the phone. After several months, we met in RL. (We live an hour apart.) We just celebrated our 1-year (RL) anniversary last weekend. :)

Anyway, my point is.. Real love can evolve from relationships in FFXI. But neither he nor I was seeking it out. Neither of us used FFXI as a dating service. Instead, we were playing a game we both found enjoyable when we ran into each other, conversed, and found similar interests and took a liking for each other. Deep, meaningful love came after awhile, and after spending RL time together. (Boy this whole thing is pretty mushy.) :P

Don't get down on yourself if you haven't found a girlfriend in the game. Half the girl characters in this game are really guys in RL anyway. :P Not to mention the age ranges.. I've met 12 year olds and I've met 40 year olds. Just play the game to be playing the game, not to find true love. It'll be more fun that way. If your goal is to find love and not to play the game for fun, I'd try a dating service or something instead. <.<

I know people play however they want to play. I never questioned or condoned it.

My entire post was towards the poster before me. He seems as if he could use a little pick-me-up, instead of someone shrugging him off, like many people seem to do.

It's not that love can't be found in FFXI.. It's just a rarity. :) And there's definitely a difference between real love and just romance in FFXI roleplaying. I think the poster before me isn't looking for FFXI roleplaying romance, but the real thing.

Edit: Lol. So this gets rated down. That makes sense. Can't say anything unless it's drama nowadays..

Join the club, I got rated down too. People can't be trusted with responsibility here it seems.

That's what happened to me (us) too ... neither one of us was seeking it out ...

It kinda happened ... I never thought once about going to visit him when I found out that we are living in the same country (Thought he was from Germany ... but no ^^) .. We actually live 300 km apart .. that's roughly a three hours car ride ...

A typical weekend relationship ...

One of those things that helped developing our relationship was using Teamspeak .. To tell the truth ... I fell in love with his voice ...

We grew together ... and everything seemed to fit when I first met him IRL ...

Up until now Teamspeak and Final Fantasy are our main ways of communication ... and since I'm still in training (commercial apprentice) for 2 more years there's no way of moving in with him ...

me<princealex> and princesscourt #1 rl couple
pld + whm ftw

i am a rdm i work alone

Getting married in-game is scary. For all you know - Kin could be a man. hehe

I like to think of it as "marrying" your personalities rather than fantasy love.

Just so all the ladies know, I'm still available. :)

Bleach who are you...lol. You seem to know me.

There's not a whole lot to be said, that Jyneefur hasn't already said, and said well mind you. But as far as your second post, congratulations to your friend, who met that girl, and then married her in real life, as was already said, that's a rarity.

As far as being lonely, I feel for ya. I quit for 8 months, before coming back, and well over half of my friends have gone, including my "Online Companion" as Vas expertly put it. I was pretty bummed out, and thoroughly lonely for a little while. 90% of my LSs broke, and those that were left, were full of members I never even knew. It was a rough time, but you find more friends, and you don't worry so much about e-love. I think that's where I differ, from a lot of my friends in the game. They think every female they run into in game, who is friendly, is their one and only true love. That every female in-game that offers to go out of their way to help, is coming onto them. Sometimes, they're just a friend, or they're just being nice, and helping. I have several female friends in-game that I've never advanced towards in that way. I'm more than happy to just remain friends with such a wide array of people.

If something should happen between myself and one of those friends mentioned above, so be it, if not, things will be the same as they are now, and that's not really that bad. I guess what I'm trying to say, is not to go looking for something that's not really there. Don't go being one of those horror story guys that these female gamers write here about. Learn to cherish what you have, rather than being sour about what you don't. You seem like a cool guy, I'm sure if there's a girl on XI worth your time, she'll find you. And if not, you still have the friends you do have on there, that haven't left the game, and plenty of opportunities to make many others. I know when I leave the game, if ever I do, I'll have hundreds of awesome memories to look back on.

As far as "Many of your friends meeting their true love" on here. I don't know about that really. I mean it may be true, and the one that got married, obviously it worked out for him. But I see a lot of people, that meet in game, and they think that XXX person is the love of their life. Even if they live 13 hours away, and have a r/l boyfriend who just doesn't play the game. I see a lot of girls, and a few guys, that have r/l partners, some even married, who don't mind if their partner has in-game lovers. Unfortunately, sometimes the lovers, don't know that the person they're falling for, is already taken. I also know people that "fall in love" every other week. That's more like puppy love, like Jyneefur was saying. Again, I feel for ya, because I fall easily too, but not nearly as easily as I see a lot of people here doing.

Chin up man, enjoy the time that you have, and be content with it. Believe me, things could be a lot worse. And by the way, I was alone on Valentine's Day too, honestly, it wasn't that bad =P

Man, this turned into a longer post than I had hoped for. >.>
...here's a /slap for almost making me lonely XD

~Edited for typographical errors. And for...



That makes you 1 year, 5 months old? That's not just wrong, it's illegal v_v

I'm fairly sure Chakrila and Galkaman ram into eachothers' asses from time to time.

<sigh> People think that all the time. Problem is, Galka still don't have a penis. Duuuh.

Never have I read that Galka "Don't have penises" because in fact, they are all male. Being all male, they'd all have a penis. The thing about Galka is, they just don't reproduce sexually, but rather asexually. So therefore, they do have penises, they just aren't used for anything but ass ramming.
