God I would be ecstatic if my girlfriend would ever play a video game with me, especially a MMO. But I can see why people have trouble allowing their girlfriends play them, simply because we all know those sorts of games can be a bit consuming. I personally don't care if she's into MMOs, FPSs, or Monopoly...
You've got the question backwards: it's not "would you let your girlfriend play a MMO (three hours+ a day)", it's "would you want to be the boyfriend of someone who plays MMOs (three hours+ a day)".Eriaku said:
It doesn't necessarily mean they're being controlling or sexist about your hobbies, it might just mean that they want more out of the relationship.
Nah, I'm still convinced.NeutralDrow said:What a provoking and well-thought response. <url=http://www.wildlifetrust.org.uk/cheshire/IMAGES/watch_weasel.jpg>Have a weasel.SUSUGAM said:Wow. To the ~90% of retards saying yes to this. I'll just assume you currently play, or have never played an MMO (the posts supporting it prove my point). Because anyone that has experienced end game MMO play, and has quit... knows what's up. MMO's are a mindless drain requiring nothing from the person but time. The disgusting constructed interest in these games from said MMO player only further highlights their utter lack of thought and gaming ability(if skill turns you on, that is). The obvious example is WoW, but any MMO fits the bill more or less.
QQ about my bias vs MMO's all you like. But I know better (I've had GF's in my MMO, and GF's who couldn't play anything past tetris), someday you may too. It seems cool having a GF that plays the same game as you, where you can sit together and watch your characters run for 6 hours , but...
Wait I just remembered. Anyone playing any MMO is so convinced that it's worthwhile that they will never understand a word I'm saying until they quit.
Dangit.
My opinion is clear, playing an MMO is a red alert to a person not respecting their lifespan.For the same reason I'd not date a crack-whore, I would not date an MMO player.
In seriousness, you seem to equate every single MMO player to drooling idiots with no real conception of a social life whose every actions are dictated by the false electronic lives of their online avatars. If this is seriously what you believe, then as a member of mythical "casual MMO-playing" demographic, I'm not entirely certain we're the ones in desperate need of a reality check.
As usual you cannot see the endless boring progression involved in MMO gameplay. As the question stands, I would not stay with a female playing an MMO. 'Casual MMO play' is a redundant phrase, and the OP isn't refering to 1-2 hours a week. And ffs if you play an MMO for 1-2 hours a week you are level 14 and aren't really playing an MMO. When I was younger, and dumber, I played everquest for 3 years. More than enough to learn my lesson. I pride myself on playing real games, like starcraft and chess. 
My girlfriend can do whatever she wants, if she chooses to join my on guildwars for instance that would only be a turn on
this sums it up for me.Crazzee said:
If my girlfriend (fiance) took an interest in playing , I'd be quite happy (just as long as it was actually a half decent mmo
) obviously I'd be there making sure she was eating and drinking regularly and occasionally dragging her out for sunlight, but the bottom line is that it's not up to me, I'm only an advisorOffer her a different kind of raid?SODAssault said:
Personally, it would make her hotter.
but
"Why don't I playing that game" Becomes
"Why don't we join that raid rather then going to the cinema later?" Becomes
"I'll be in bed in a sec i'm just getting belt of X from Y troll" Becomes
"I've only been for 3 hours today you should stop telling me to stop playing the game"

I think there are a lot of girls out there like you that play MMO's.
In fact there was a study not too long ago that showed 40% of MMO gamers are girls so she'd probably get addicted but she can do what she wants

I don't think I should have to 'let' her do anything. Not 'letting' you play video games is one step below not wanting to you speak to or even be in the presence of other men. You're better off without those dudes. Trust me.
Would you let your gf play MMO's? Do I actually have control over what she wants or does?! That is damned new to me. Do you actually have a gf because asking if I would LET her do anything is like asking me whether I want to sleep on the coach or if I want to have to apologise for everything I ever did wrong including not asking her how her day was yesterday or be cut off for about 3 months.
