How some families were formed is simply entertaining. Above all, a WoW player has now created the perfect ‘gamer family’.
In a thread from the subreddit about Diablo IV, it was actually about some players just stopping with season 1 because it seems like the air has gone out of the game. However, a mother reports on her experiences in Diablo IV and ultimately tells how her family came to be. She even attributes the birth of her daughters to World of Warcraft – without the game, she probably would never have met her husband.
In the corresponding thread on Reddit, players share their experiences in Diablo and later also in gaming in general. Aggravating_Secret_7, who claims to be a mother of two daughters, reports how she enjoys playing with her entire family.
Many seem to find it hard to understand, as games were frowned upon or are frowned upon in their parents’ house.
She explains:
My daughters owe their existence to World of Warcraft. I met my husband in the game, so it would be pretty hypocritical of me to stand in their way now while they are playing.
They have watched us both play all the games we could safely play in front of them. For me, that’s the entire “Dragon Age” series, Witcher 3, Assassins Creed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, as well as Diablo III and IV.
I was told by my parents back then [that video games are not good] and that was nonsense. Now, as a mother, I can make something educational out of these games, and I have done that with the “Assassins Creed” parts – or they can just be fun. I don’t want to preach too much here, but as parents, it’s very easy to miss out on the fun stuff you can do with your kids.
The spam rogue in the trade channel became her husband
When asked, she then shares some details that could still give some WoW nerds hope for a “storybook life with child and wife.” Because she met her husband because he was writing nonsense in the trade channel:
It’s funny, I normally – never – speak to people in the game, unless I know them in real life. I have played with people from work and college. One day I saw this rogue writing nonsense in the trade channel and that’s how it all started.
14 years later, we have had 2 combat deployments (he was active in the military), 8 moves, more tattoos and piercings than I can count, a “before you go” baby and a “welcome back” baby behind us and we live in a house in a suburb.
In any case, the two daughters probably have a nice “origin story.” Because according to their mother, they only exist because their father wrote nonsense in the trade channel.
That at least makes the cliché questions like “So, how did you two meet?” a bit more entertaining.
