Now the only thing left is getting her to play eq2 without people trying to molest her for being a mangina.

So she's a tranny?

If anyone on Naggy or Venekor knew my toons names they could make her life miserable, who knows i could of been in DoG and you would of never knew, I also could be in Onyx or Nightwatch or been a part of Shadows of Storm. I also could be playing a friends account or two from TO. But hell what does it matter?

I'm just saying, little Labor Day friendly advice.

My husband only got me to play once he upgraded my computer, and I got so tired of bitching at him for not spending time with me, I figured what the hell, I may as well give it a shot. I wasn't interested in the lore one bit, and the more lore he told me, the less interest I had in it. It took some trial and error in classes, and making sure I always had him to duo with so I wasn't dying constantly and getting even more frustrated, and after awhile, I realized why he spent so much time playing the game. Now, I play more than he does. LOL

After years of watching the back of my hubby's head (as he played AC2, SWG, Delta Force, etc.), I knew if I didn't learn to play an MMOG we were headed for a break up.

He never forced the issue on me - he would just show me different games to see what I liked. Neither of us were thrilled with EQ1, but when EQ2 came out I couldn't wait to give it a try.

It sounds to me like your girl isn't interested in EQ2 (in my case, just building my own toon was lots of fun lol). But don't give up - there might be something out there that peaks her interest.

It's not like its hard to loose, shes a damn good cook as well, so shes always feeding me, I think i'll be the one to get fat first.

You say that now but when your woman turns into a 400 pound wilderbeast you will be thinking differently!

Though the way i did was I started a 2nd account to 2 box and asked my GF to sit down and watch my char while i grabbed a snack. She played a little and kinda liked the game and started her own char. Though she stopped playing because I send a duel to her and asked her to accept...i wtfpwned her in 2 secs and she promptly called me a jerk and will never touch the game again *sigh*

My wife was the one that got me to play

I am still trying to get my wife to pickup the game. The problem lies with me. I lack the patience to sit there and hold her hand and she gets pissy. I am still not quite sure why she just doesnt work through the game as I did.
Maybe she just needs more positive reinforcement, but the last go round she stormed out of our comp room. hehe
Will update that computer and try to be a little more patient.

Many many moons ago, my then-boyfriend picked up a game called "The Realm" and was playing it one day when I came over to his house. I laughed my butt off when he took his armor off and stood there in nothing but his underwear. I was like "That's awesome. I want to play!" so he told me where to go, and when I got home I downloaded it and started playing. I laughed again when I took all my armor off and stood there in my underwear. It was funny!

LOL! Years later, he gave up gaming, and I was into EQ1. So its all his fault!!!

Here's my suggestion. Your girl might think that its too "geeky" for her to get into. Start her on AB or LDL (RP servers tend to have alot more players and they are GENERALLY nicer) and, if you know what's good for her, join her. Try not to push your ideals into her game play. Ask her what she wants to do, and help without doing it all for her. I think getting some housing items and letting her set up the house is a good starter, I know a few women who were hooked on that when this game first came out (and quite a few men too!).

Starting on PVP might cause more strife than is worth it. When she is more comfortable with the game you can introduce her to that facet of it. All in all, try to be there to help her, but don't FORCE anything on her. Also, try to find a nice guild for her to chat with. That helps the enjoyment of the game immensely!
