Our connections to our characters

It's a char, but since it's a mmo many people build relations.

And yes for some people it's like playing dolls, they marry, they dress than with pretty clothes, they ghet angry and bl people, it's like playing barbie for some people.

My char is just a char in a game, i enjoy playing it, i would not make a char of a class i don't like just to farm.

yes bella get my point. didnt see how my post earlier was going to set off a chain of insults/trolls. it is like playing barbie and g.i joe b:cute. I just put on smilies cos I like them maybe that's y you think I was trolling?

I think what Hazumi_chan said is pretty much what many people feel . If you got problems with your life, you rather play a game where you can blacklist people and its a bit like a start-over. If the people around dont like you, but youre acting ingame pretty much the same like in rl , then you can see that this is not your fault.

And this is not a point where you can say "Get a life" or "That nerd plays PWI because his real life sucks, go away damn" . You can make deeper friendships ingame than in RL sometimes.


To most of my characters i have a thin connection. I play most of them different, thats why many people cant guess whos my alt. Only with my first chars, especially my old main i got a deeper connection. He was pretty much how I was, but i could make him look like I never will be able to look and act like i want to - and people didnt hate you for that.

I got my nickname in RL because of my ingame char, i didnt used that name ever before. And most people still call me Nef. I made some friends ingame who like me for what i was, they didnt care about any bad rep . Now, when I sometimes draw my friends for fun, i still make a combo from how they look irl and ingame.

And although i didnt play him for years i sometimes still feel more like my main ingame than myself in real life b:embarrass

Interesting question and like Michael said a few of the responses so far have been a little disturbing.

I can see how some people can get attached to their toon for various reasons although the level of attachment that some people have is borderline insanity. I personally have zero attachment to any character on any game. When this game shuts down I will not care at all that all the characters that I leveled/geared are gone. The woman on the other hand falls under the disturbing attachment/borderline insanity category. Extreme OCD with everything on here.

how dare you to talk about our woman like that D=
ONT:
