In September last year they married – with the wedding cake featuring their avatars in icing.

Why does it seem so hard for people to get it right... Not avatar, not toon... It's a character!

Sorry, that ***just bugs me. Pet peeve I guess.

I just hate when people use the word toon.

These are toons:


Anyway it's always nice to see a happy story popping up now and again.

No version is wrong, but avatar is the correct industry standard term.

Also, nice story, but surely couldn't be the first?

It's great to see these two people chase something that most people would write off as ridiculous and prove that such a thing can happen... but I'm sorry when I read this I lol'd so hard >_>;

‘One day, when as Andurus he endangered his own character in the game to save me, I felt an incredible bond between us.'

I wonder if he would have done the same irl...

I know, I was replying to someone remarking that they weren't first. I didn't want someone digging up a WoW version of this story with an earlier timestamp. It was a joke -_-

I wish I only got -exp for doing something stupid irl >.>

But yeah, it's nice to see something like this end on a positive note for once despite how pessimistic the article and comments below seemed.
In a way it helps people bond on a less superficial level as you grow attached to their personality more so than their appearances since the character is all you have to work with visually.

This is a neat story but most people leave the house because they aren't afraid of the world to actually go out and meet someone.

But congrats to them!

They both seem a little desperate though, I mean if you read the article it says they spent 5 hours every night gaming together long before they ever met, that's 5 hours ignoring their partners, every night, not to mention going behind said partners backs to meet each other etc. But that's just me being over critical I guess, at least they are happy now.

That's how my husband and I met. We met in FFXI, he came to visit a few times, eventually moved in. Now we're married and happily. Always shocks me when people think it can't work out when you meet in a game.

I see you did not read the story.

If you did maybe you missed the part that talked about their real life boyfriend and girlfriend that they had left to be with each other.

You're not wrong, loyalty is important...but if they were doing this, I figure their significant others weren't paying much attention to them :(

I'm not surprised at all about this. I met my roomate from FFXI a few years ago, he moved in from Oregon, down here to San Diego, CA.

Though, the fact that they both had partners while their online relationship was stimulating really bugs me. I don't know why, it just does.

They probably are, Branwen made a post less than two weeks ago. Not to say they didn't expect this to become so public because she has posted about this before today. Just kind of weird to read people judging these people when they are probably aware of this thread already.
