General Discussion

After all the fights about my game playing time, my Special Lady Friend is FINALLY willing to sit with me and give a game a try.  I played SWG, GW, and AoC, but i am willing to give anything a shot.

What MMO game would a female like?  (Needs good graphics, no free MMO's)

Thanks for help and saving my relationship, lol.

Hm I know many female gamers in Guild Wars and WoW, also Pirates of the Burning sea, really choose a game thats not as gorey and has other features besides grinding for levels, such as an advanced craft system or a fun trade system, (Also I know many women in Runescape.) Thats about is much as I can say.

I know alot of girls that play those cutesy games like Fiesta Online and DOMO (Dream of Mirror Online)

My wife absolutely loves Sword of the New World.

I've tried to get her to play WoW, LotRO, Vanguard, SWG, UO, Age of Conan ... and she just wants to play Sword of the New World.

I'd go with WOW.

Not because it's the greatest game ever to grace the internet, but because it is quite easy to get into. If you want to interest her into MMOs at all, you should not pick a game with a steep learning curve, or she will give up very quickly. There is a reason why this game is so damn successful.

My wife and i have played EQ, WoW, CoH, DDO, Vanguard, EQII, LotRO and her games of choice are EQII and Vanguard (once they fix stuff in Vanguard) because they have the most robust crafting systems that she's played.... able to do stuff on her own that isn't soloing and dying. and in the 'not her boyfriends MMO' department she also really enjoyed A Tale In The Desert.

If she likes story and reading then LotrO is a good choice since it engags you in the story from lvl 1!

Also have housing and an outfit system that games like WoW lacks and may be fun to women (and men too ;))

show her the games you already play, see if she likes them...swg will burn your relationship in the ground faster then the sun would, GW is free to play so no double ammount of cash to pay for it...you can cyber more realistically when your wife, or yourself, is away in AoC (tits...) but might be a bit gorey for your wife, would have to meet your wife, honestly, ive seen chicks play AoC, EQ, EQII, UO, EVE, WoW, SWG, etc etc etc

vanguard does have a card game called diplomacy included, and has its advanced crafting, if she's not into the combat stuff of mmo's. Or if she is into doing trading and merchanting, maybe EvE, assuming she likes flying cargo ships and mining asteroids for ores to produce goods.. Both are not really beginner mmo's though.

Proably WoW would be the best for getting someone hooked on MMOs, just cause its easy to get into... if she likes it, she'll cap out in a couple months and you can move onto a real game. If she likes cutesy-games though, might wanna try ragnarok online or one of its clones.

And the joke of the day: If you want to test your relationship play lineage 2... if she levels with you all the way up you know shes a keeper... if she doesn't, it was never meant to be. LoL.
