I have to ask, why bother? Unless one of you is prepared to move the 2k, a relationship on that scale isn't going to be a good one.
There is only so much you can do, webchat being the main one and I wouldn't like to be paying travel there and back every weekend.
If you do move in together, would there be enough brownie points to be gained by ditching your principles?

Well, WoW's the digital version of celibacy.canadamus_prime said:
Celibacy's pretty much carving your nuts off.
Henceforth, WoW = losing your bollocks.
OT:
Never played WoW, and this has happened, but it was Crossfire (an online FPS) and I liked the game.
A mate of mine had been playing for about 2-3 months, and he told me to get in on it.
I did, started, and loved it, plus, it was FREE! (No subscription fees)
I've since stopped playing (curse no Mac support), but I wish I could play it.
Not a WoW player, the game bored me during the trial, but I am trying to get my GF to join xbox live so we can play fable together
I got into WoW for a girl, in my experience it doesn't work out.
1) Unless you make a very specific agreement to only play together (which could be fun and help to limit the time you spend on it) you'll probably end up radically different levels anyway because one of you will be more hooked than the other.
2) You're bound to have faction and class disagreements. I wanted to roll horde and play a healing class, but this girl persuaded me to play a tank on the alliance side because her guild needed one. Eventually I put my foot down and switched sides, but then I was playing on my own and was officially a lifeless sweaty mouth-breather.
3) You won't actually talk about anything interesting in game. Worse, you'll end up only ever talking about WoW even when you're out of game. That doesn't help any kind of relationship.

I'm in a similar boat, except with my bros instead of hoes, who're trying to get me back into the game now that Cataclysm's out.
I'd say stick to your guns, if you don't want to play the game you shouldn't.
Ultimately it's your choice, but if she knows that it was a contributing factor to your marriage ending and she's still pressing you about it, is she really a good friend?

I usually don't want to hang out with others I know in an online game. Merely because it gets very, very awkward when none of us have something to say, and it's just repetitive what-ever-you-do-in-the-game.
I like to meet strangers all the time. That way you can be smart/stupid, funny/sad, pro/noob or playing/not playing without consequences of another day that I really just despise.
PS: I do hope you hate WoW for the right reasons. There are a lot of douches who hate it just because it is WoW and nothing more to it.

Well I play wow and personally if the man I am with doesnt like it I will not force the subject. All else fails find something else to play together.
This so subjective and person specific it's impossible for me to answer your question for you.
Really, all I can say is, what are the possible pros and cons, and is it worth the gamble?

I have never tried to get anyone to play WoW. I did harass a few friends into trying Eve Online, but that didn't go well.
I am currently playing the trial for Cataclysm. In fact, I just finally and at long last hit 80 on a character. I won't be staying beyond the trial however as my experience with the game and it's customer service was damaged beyond repair. Were it not for that, I'd say the game has improved slightly with the expansion.
People will tell you otherwise but those people are either lying or blind. The vast majority of what you do is the same old grindy nonsense. It just gets broken up a hair more often with other types of quests.

I've got my brother to play WoW, I was originally brought to play it when my friend and his brother (who I am also mates with) began playing it and invited me to join them. I don't really think anything of it, it's a fun game and it's only a time sink if you let it be.
More specific to the question, a girl I know told me to renew my Aion account to play with her. I was in the same guild with her and her boyfriend for all of the time I played it. To be honest though, the situation was fucking insane. She openly told me she wanted to fuck, and expected me to keep it a secret from her boyfriend, who knew that she had an interest in me. Her boyfriend also knew that she was currently on a break up period with her other boyfriend for a while, so he was more of a fuck buddy that she also met on Aion.
I just completely quit when she started going on webcam half naked and started inviting me to her house every weekend, and getting pissy when I said no. I liked playing Aion with them, and I'd probably say yes if someone asked me if they wanted to play an MMO with me regardless of gender, because I like playing MMOs with people, but in this case I just could not be fucking bothered.

SimuLord quotes from this thread:
1) I knew "yeah, she's nuttier than a tree full of squirrels" and crossed her off the potential-romance list.
2) She thinks that gaming together will bring us closer. Never mind that she's rejected the idea of a romantic relationship on the grounds that she's still in love with her ex-boyfriend (who, by the way, is engaged to someone else---they've been broken up for almost a year!)
Pardon? As Dr. Drew would say "this is a bogus call; hang up."
And wow led to the decline of your marriage? I doubt that. It might have left a bad taste in your mouth, but whatever truth about your marriage that was revealed by wow, it would have come out eventually. I must say that your sentiment of "I didn't play a game even though a GIRL asked me too! Who else would be brave enough to do this?" seems to reveal a somewhat immature conception of women.
