My gf was a gamer chick, but she plays GW. what we did was, we each make some time to play the other's game sometimes.
Don't get here to play wow. Instead, go play mario kart with her.
Interest her in other games you might both enjoy playing.
Expose her to the fun stuff of wow by showing her minipets and cool scenery and letting her try her own character on your account.
Eventually, you will be able to turn her to the dark side.
I agree with this, and am currently attempting this with my girlfriend (though instead of Mario Kart, we play Hunter The Reckoning for X-Box).

LOL i know exactly what u mean 2 years ago i tryied to make my sister play the game because i thought it would be cool to have people in the family playing.... i always wished that my vather or my uncle or my sister plays the game but they are all not really intrested in the game so i gave up....
BUT the other day i created a gnome girl just to mess around and my sis saw the little gnome and wanted to play lol... well i just bought her an account last week and shes already 32 lol....
i remeber when i started playing i didnt get whats good about the game but then i saw a friend playing it and he had this wolf mount and i found this so cool that i wanted to play :P

I serously think, that if you let an imaginary game take over your life, thats sorta sad, well, take it over so that it distorys your relationship/future with this lady.
I have't read ALL the posts, people on this forum talk lots. But i agree with someone on the first page, you need to have a set amount of time each week/day (Its not exactly what they said)
But she does also need to understand that you've found something you enjoy, (Letting her know you still enjoy her(In a non dirty way))
Don't make her play the game, let her come to it?
I'm the girlfriend of a WoW player.. and he runs a server and stuff aswell to do with WoW, I started out absolutly hating the game because it took up alot of his time and attention, and it still does, but I got into it, I sorta enjoy it, (Although, not enough that i would ruin my life)
I go to his place and he's even on it, well, checking server status and updating, and crap...
you could tell her at lest your not a server owner person, thats a all day sorta thing.
Sorta makes it better. :P
Get two comps. and maybe suggest that while you play WoW she plays another game? LOL try runescape. Its a crap game. but ya never know.
Or maybe just tell her to "Browse". At lest you are both ocupied at the same time and she can't complain that she doesn't get attention or anything, because she's doing something at the same time as you.
I'm not sure if that helped at all, i most likely repeted someone else. but i thought it was an interesting topic.

I stopped reading after "Rather play WoW than have sex"
Talk to me again once you have your third kid on the way.

having a gf play wow with you really sucks.
all its done is cause me and my gf to argue, and we broke up about two weeks ago.
she'd rather play wow, than hang out.
it's really not good if your relationship contains wow.

Just 2 pieces of thoughts to throw here:
1. I'm guessing that the OP's problem is partially due to the gf's ex. Because WoW was the primary reason (I'm guessing) that the gf left her ex, it is natural that she will have this hatred for WoW. Maybe just talk it over, and ensure the gf that you are not her ex, and things will be different....
2. If you feel that going out and do something together with the gf is no where as exciting as playing WoW, you should probably find another girl... (I say this from my personal experience, when I date a girl that I like more, I tend to play less WoW.....)

Hello =)
I felt like sharing my own experience here
I am only 16 years old, so i don't live with my girl of course, and it takes me 45 min to walk to her, about 20 min on bike, because of all the up-hills (5 min home =D)
Already before we fell in love with each other, she knew i played wow, cause we had a talk about it in class etc. She knew that i liked games, and so on. In the first period of our relationship (where you learn ALOT of your new bf / gf ) we talked about everyting about ourself, and this was ofc brought up. I tried to describe it as easy as possible, telling her its only a hobby which i sometimes get really engaged in.
Now she never had any trouble accepting i played wow / other games simply because i invested such alot of time and patience in explaining how i feel about wow. Yet still, i got a rule for myself. If she calls me, and i play wow, and will never ever lie to her, just so i can sit at home doing kara or something.
Now here is the part where Wow actually helps me. Because if im playing, and she wants me to come over to her place, i always tell her i was raiding / doing something of importance in the game, and just left the computer. It makes her even more tollerant when it comes to gaming.
Like if we are talking on msn or something, and im playing and not paying too much attention to what she says, she sometimes ask if i am playing. I then keep my rule intact and says yes, and she always, i mean ALWAYS, says its ok, that i should just play if i want to get some stress away.
Bottom line: Get a balance between playing and loving, and explain everything in close detail, be patient when she asks "noob-questions".
