OP, listen up. I'm heavily invested in a MMORPG since 2007 now. I had my share of close ones dying RL, permanent goodbyes and whatnot. I've been in that boat of breaking character or not.

Here's what you do: go to Gmail or some wellknown email provider and make an account in the name of your roleplay character, or something you and she share thats private, in the other reality.

Break IC and say something like:

"Dear, if you wish to meet deeper, contact me here *your email*, if not I will be who I was for you until the end."

Don't force her to become more than you have been all her life, just offer the option, allowing to decline.

If she doesnt want to, dont push. Be her husband she knows and loves till the end and let God sort it out. If she takes you up on it then take it from there.

Its gonna be possibly her last wish. Dont force it by stating you want to meet, leave it entirely open for her to decide.

I've done it. A wonderful person died and chose to remain the Orc I knew him as. That is fine, we only get to see a small glimpse of the persons we meet anyway, and what matters is the mind you interact with. Who cares its an Orc, a princess in a beautiful palace.. or in reality maybe a sickly lady in a bed somewhere.

It doesnt matter, really. Seeing someone and knowing their RL doesnt make it any more real. What it can do is upset the fantasy you chose to share with each other for a decade.

Its fine man. If she wants to remain the virtual wife you loved in the RPG for all those years, let it be. What you shared, the emotions, the feelings you gave each other, thats whats really real and thats what really matters.

/me gives his deceased Orc Warrior friend a good hug on his way out, blinks in the light and walks the down the cobbled path of his friend's house a final time.

YES just extend an offer like Anon 14 said.  Maybe you should just tell her that you dont care who she is, but he/she has meant alot to you over the years and you would like to extend your hand in support.

DO IT!

And please keep us updated.

Now that I read my own post it is a very weird situation if you've never immersed yourself like this in a game before.

I'm glad there are people here who actually understand it. It's comforting, and I really need that right now.

Next time she's on I'm going to whisper her my first name, phone, email address, facebook handle, AIM, etc. and how much she's changed my life and how much I want to be there for her, thank her for the wonderful years and what it's all meant to me.

Then I guess the best I can do is wait and hope that this character's player contacts me.

The gamble is that I'll likely get banned on the spot and deleted, so if she wants to be in our world with me as she passes into the next life, she'll die alone in game.


It's a pretty solid bet, but if she doesn't take me up on the offer I can imagine she's going to be in the hospital and die alone at keyboard. I mean, none of us who play these kinds of games are "normal" by any means but a majority of people I've known throughout the years have all been shut-ins, disabled, war vets, whatnot with very little or no friends or family.

:picard:

If she's like 85 with a bad heart and the transplant is a guaranteed bust, I just want to say goodbye and let her know how much everything's meant to me my whole adult life.

She's shaped who I am as a person and has provided me with so much "love" through my character.

There's a line between in-character and out-of-character with fantasy/reality, but emotions do bleed over, as do experiences and memories.

I will never forget this person/character.

:hooray:

Good luck :thumbup:,
I've never been into text based RPGs or the whole RP thing,
but i find this fairly interesting and am curious to see what happens.

#'s 15 & 18 - I searched posts for the game's name and it appears only 3 people have posted about it on here. The 4th PMd me privately years ago. I'm sorry, I like my anonymity.

It doesn't matter what game it is, guys, it's probably older than half the posters on this website.

Reading comprehension. Warcraft is nothing more than Mario Kart for Wii IMO.

I really do appreciate nearly all of the posts in this thread. It's making this a bit easier and helping me see it from different angles.

#14 - Thank you so much. I'm very sorry about your friend. Years ago most of a fairly large clan got banned for discussing attending one of their Guildmasters funerals. He was a battle rescuer in game. When you die in game, you drop your items and have a short window of time to be rescued. He played a very unorthodox class for being a B.R. Turns out he had lost his legs in Vietnam and had health issues since. A bunch of people flew out for his funeral and they were (nearly) the only ones there. If this wasn't anon I'd love to :pm: you to talk. :sad:

Will keep updated on how Tishra is doing and how this situation pans out.

Maybe she is just lyeing about dyeing in real life, maybe she just got tired of the game after 10 years and figured saying she was going to die in real life was more funny than saying she was done with the game for good. And maybe is a homosexual male pretending to be a female.

Some disturbing things to consider...

Maybe someone in the game has developed a extreme grudge and hatred over you, and is setting an elaborate plan to get you permbanned from the game. You said a whole bunch of people on the game were banned from going to a funeral because they were,  OOC talking,  or  (Out of character talking)  Maybe your wife has turned on you, while teaming up with someone else, or perhaps on her own,  to try and trick you into beleiveing she is dyeing for real and thus makeing u talk out of character, getting you banned from the game forever.

In real life wives kill their husbands everyday. So maybe she isnt really dyeing in real life, but is merely trying to trick you into getting you banned?

You can never be too safe. Better safe then sorry.

This whole post sounds spot on IMO.  Don't push it, something tells me that if you haven't met IRL in 12 years, there isn't reason to do it now.
