I apologize. I just want people to know that their opinions mean a lot to me and I like to give feedback.

Correct me if im wrong, but isnt standing up for your friends, or those dear to you, (therefore your ingame spouse) a virtue? O.o

it was last time i checked...

The argument could be made that, if your friends are jerks and assholes, standing up for them wouldn't exactly be a virtue. Note that I'm not saying that your friends are such, since I don't even know you. I'm just poking holes in your statement, which is kinda what I do.

I took it as he meant girls leave parties when a girl they don't like joins. Most of the parties I'm in have more than one girl, even if it's a bunch of people I don't know. o.o (Although... how many of them are actually female is another thing entirely. >_>) And I don't see why people would want the "girl on the internet glory"... that just seems awkward to me. o.O

I don't think the marriage system started this or anything. It may have given people another reason to act like idiots, but people act like that anyway. It's not like there were no in-game couples before marriage was implemented.

Also... I have no problem leaving a party if someone I really don't like joins. I don't wanna deal with that, and it's probably less drama if I just leave. :\ In fact, when people leave like that, they normally have a good reason. Just because it's a game doesn't mean the people playing it have no emotions. o-o;

In the olden days before there was an internet and even in the first 10 years that the internet existed, computers were a mostly male interest. There were bulletin board systems somewhat like what is called a forum today and real-time chat rooms. The two most popular topics were the technology of computers and sex. It was all text with no graphics.

My first (to date myself) online experence was on a 300 baud modem.

It was quite common for males to log on with a female name because you were much more likely to get the attention of others.

Correct, that is an agreeable fact. However, i was simply stating that, if your friend is in a party with a person they dont like, and he/she quits, and is yelled at by a party member for such an action, it would be good for you to defend them, assuming you understand the full situation.

Man, there was a whole bunch of this going on lately. Makes you wanna solo a bit more.....(*Sigh*)
