Amorous encounters

Surfing the net last night I cam across this great blog, mmo couples, by Gabi. It features stories of amorous adventures - often leading to real relationships - in MMO game worlds.

I hesitate to write "leading to real relationships" because relationships in game worlds can be just as real as material world ones. If there is honest communication and respect shown, there is reality, in my opinion. Besides its up to people to decide what a relationship they are in means. And there is no shortage of unreality in material world relationships, especially where things like honesty are an issue (excuse my cynicism but look at the divorce rate guys).

Mmo couples shows the potential in MMO interfaces. The fact some players are finding true love in these worlds shows the power of humans to adapt themselves, and whatever world they find themselves in. It is perhaps a sign of things to come.
