Ir you dont share common interests to the point of toleration, and you are getting constantly nagged at, you may as well just go get another gal ...try and find one that you get along with better, there are millions to choose from! Best do it while you are young enough to still have time to train one properly (and vice-vers, hehehe)

beleive me, with that crap, DAoC is just an excuse, and if it isn't that it is something else.

Have you tried "STFU and let me play!!!"? After all, it is your free time, and you have a right to spend it as you please.

buy the lass a box of smirnoff ice and a ps2 with pacman on it ...happy days again
its what i did

 

[kirennia]

I just play DAoC instead of watching tele. Much more fun and I don't let it interfere with my social life. The guild generally know I never play thursday/friday/saturday/sunday nights because I go out

Just explain to her that you play DAoC instead of watching the tele just cause you can't stand people running around 'pretending' to be policemen or doctors or whatever, just as she doesn't like watching your character as a pixie on screen

 

[dakeyras]

Wife was turning into a very aggro purp con, until one of her friends made the comment 'at least you know where your husband is!'

No problems since then...now I just need to remember to pay the 50 quid I owe her friend

She has dabbled with DAoC. Has a 43 shammy Jianna and sometimes plays Cadwallon, but mainly prefers to watch TV when I'm online. It's nice to have your own space at home and not be in each others face all the time. But now we have a new daughter I am finding it hard to play DAoC. Giggling 6 week old >>> DAoC

 

[tomee]

Its the majority of wifes for ya.

Mines the same, ur always on your PC i just reply,

Im not sitting watching all those poxy soaps u stop your soaps ill give DAOC a miss LOL, fully knowing that she wont give Soaps a miss so works fine for me

 

[Arnor]

take her out


literally, pay me and ill do it

 

[Gyda]

If I should be in need of a bf, I think i will have to make a post here.. Wont get one whining about me playing too much then, I guess
For all of u with whining gf/wives.. as long as you feel u have set your priorities right, well just argue back (watching loads of soaps is much worse, if u ask me..)
And for u gfs out there: There r better and more effective ways to get attention than whining u know I for sure got a few tricks that most guys would have a hard time turning down :whip:

 

[old.tRoG]

She either sits on the chair next to me playing with her laptop, goes out, or gives snugglez(tm).

And I don't play daoc much at all on weekdays, anyhow.

I have been playing DAoC a year now, and my wife has started to complain a lot recently about how much time I spend on the game!

We had a huge row the other day because I decided to stay up and level my Champ rather than go to bed - I mean FFS! You can't win - if you play during the day at the weekends then you get moaned at for spoiling 'Family Time', and if you play during the evening then you get moaned at again!

To top it all, she e-mailed me the link to a web site about Online Game Addiction

Don't know why she bothered TBH - I have known I have been addicted to DAoC for ages

Since I got my first Lvl 50 things have just gotten worse - I want all my characters to be Lvl 50 now!

Have any of you married guys got similar tales? Any advise for maintaining a happy married life? I have tried the 'take them out, buy them dinner/clothes/whatever it takes to make them STFU and let me level in peace' route to no avail

Daoc>Sex ? :/

That may explain why your wife is frustrated.

My advice to you is compromise. Give her the attention she requires and spend some time with your family, but make it clear at other times you intend playing Daoc.

and no, it wasn't just too much DAoC (on both sides), but it played a part.

OR! you can convince your wife to also get a pc and play daoc, and women always like to play healing/support classes, so you got yourself a buffbot account after 3 months.

roflmao!!!

So true..

he speaks from a wealth of experience..

if i had a penny all the times ive heard Treeanna shout " STFU and let me play ffs" at him i wouldnt have to solo rocots for hours for some ablatives ;/

 

[Kurik BHM]

my gf was whining alot in the beginning too... but she got used to it

i did one thing wrong though when i tried to convince her to start playing. i was xping my scout in keltoi in group and i let her play a bit.

me says: ok hit F8, 1, 2 and again and again
she says: hmm what now, the dead looking guy died.
me says: do it again til u ding 50.
she says: errr and you find this amusing? how can u play a crap game like this?

well.. i cba to explain the deep meaning of daoc to her at that point, and shes quite happy that i have a "hobby"

now i just need to find out a hobby for her

 

[heilel]

My fiancé complained a lot as well.
So we had a serious discussion about it.

I told her I expect to be able to play whatver games I want on my PC 2 days a week, in my case Wednesday nights and Saturday nights.
Which is fair enough, since we have 2 young children that need looking after.

She also get 2 evenings off a week to do whatever she wants.

The reality is, when you're in a relationhsip, you can't expect to spend LOADs of time playing games on the PC, unless your partner enjoys that sort of thing as well, (my fiancé hates PCs).

Methinks you missed the point of daoc in your example there

Create her a little level 1 character and let her play it, then she'll ding 2 and get to buy things for it, spec it more, get new toys. Try not to interfere too much, be there to help but don't take control.

That's the point of daoc - you create a character and build it up. Not "you hit mindless things till you hit 50"

 

[Rubric]

I used to have real problems when i started playing. I hardly ever play my PC when shes about as she doesnt like me doing it so i tend to play when shes gone to bed. She like to hit the sack at 10 you see. So i would play 10pm-1am weeknights & 12am to 4am weekends. Trouble with this is i would be too knackered at weekends to do anything. The we had our little boy (3 months old now) god knows how i found the energy

Now things are different, I grab maybe 2 hours some nights a week and didnt play Firday and Saturday at all. TBH id rather see my little one smile than level my character. Sometimes though i'd like to have a little free time to play & the wife actually said to me yesterday, "have you been on your PC at all this weekend?" To which i said no & got to play from 8:30 last night.

 

[Javai]

Domestic bliss here, both addicted, both prefer running about as a duo to pretty much everything else....only trouble is the washing up sure as hell stacks up

Although I did have to point out that /slap in game doesn't count as communication

Don't really see the problem though at least daoc is something you do at home without too much expense, if I was the kind of woman who'd complain I think I'd complain more about golf.....I may even try and make sense

Oh and for the record am female got 4 level 50's none of whom are support classes

 

[Brynn]

bah all you who are married and the "other" plays also bah. My gf tried to play the game i let her play my lvl 24 ns and i set her on a grey con siabra just outside Mbeo she killed it and got really bored.

I just play whenever i can, come october she is off to uni in Edinbourgh and im at home (aberdeen) studying. So i get monday-friday playing then see her at weekends. Ok i miss all the fun weekend raids and stuff but i would rather see her.

Spose it would be nicer with a partner who likes the game but, who cares coz its not a perfect world, and im happy with her

 

[old.Nol]

My wife hates daoc...it's not good :/ I get to play during eastenders, weekends or really late at night, which is not good for my work

but hey...sacrifices etc...

well duh wouldn't you get bored killing greys?

The fun of the game (at least to begin with) isn't in the being powerful, it's in the building of the character.

 

[Melodic]

hey it's not just about wives and girlfriends you know... my bf hates me playing DAoC and is always nagging.

I just don't understand it I only spend 30 hours a week online, it's not like I'm addicted or anything...

 

[Talifer]

Just count yourself lucky that she isn't your GM

/slap Javai, that's communication enough for me
