I suppose this article is more for the male gamers out there, but it still pertains to women gamers quite a bit. In this article one woman gives advice for the men out there who may want their girlfriend or wife to get involved with their MMO gaming lifestyle, but warns them there is a chance though that doing so can lead to bad times ahead...namely her hogging your gaming computer!

From the article:

- Be careful what you wish for. Think carefully about your wife's personality. Having separate interests can be a good thing, particularly if her playstyle is going to infringe on your gaming happiness. And, again, think of the state of your relationship. If things are a bit rocky and you wouldn't trust her to socialize without you, she's not going to become more trustworthy on the internet with a bunch of horny, lonely guys looking for a little gamer-girl cyber-action.

- Do you have the resources? If you've only got one computer and don't have the resources to get another, now is not the time to convert your loved one to a gamer. Likewise, if you are playing a game like EQ2 and only one of your computers can handle the power, put this project off until you can afford an upgrade. Do not have her try the game on your account. If she does end up liking the game, you won't be able to play your mains together and you'll be fighting over the main account. She needs her own gaming system and account for this to work. If you do have the resources to get your wife a gaming machine, I highly recommend a laptop. Commenters on my WoW version of this column highly recommend the convenience and portability of a laptop for converting their significant others into gamer-girls.
