A Sunday Mail journalist has contacted us asking if we know anyone that met online (living in Qld, or one half from Qld living elsewhere) through interesting circumstances (WoW was the example).

I know this is all the rage and has been for years but I actually don't know a single person that met their other half over the Internets, so throwing it out there - if you or someone you know managed to score online and are still with the person, and are interested in being the subject of an article about it then please holler my way via PM or hit is up at www.ausgamers.com/contact/

I met my ex online, but I'd rather not tell that story :O

Things didn't work out so well with him?

omg lol infi made my day with that line

infi shoots, infi scores!

Does it have to be a QLD couple? I know a couple down here that are still together, really happy, etc, etc and met through WoW.

I'm still keen on CHUB. He won't meet up with me IRL though.

yerp internets here, met quite a few actually

not through wow though

I know a of a couple that met through a Dod clan and ended up getting married in Melb.

I know a girl who met her husband through WOW. He's an American and flew here to meet her. After about 2-3 days they were engaged and got married very quickly after.

It only took me 18 months to figure that out too, :O

based in Qld or one half from Qld I think is what they're after

I met all my girlfriends online on myspace and\or facebook (only 2) hahahaha

Funny though, I met my new gf online on fb through my ex's friend on fb, funny how s*** happens!

I went to High school with my fiance, but I left in year 9 and moved to Brisbane, 8 years later she found me on Facebook

Both my sister and I met our partners through myspace.

I have met a chick online before. Took her out for a drink, took her back to her place and she refused to get out of my car and started crying saying all this s*** about how I wouldn't want to be with her. Not after that I didn't.

oh minxy :(

warning: thermite story lies within.

I met a girl on Craigslist..

how much that cost you imitation?

one fitty

Holy crap I'm surprised there are so many met-online stories. I know many people communicate almost only online these days (myself included), but I personally would never had considered dating someone I hadn't met irl.

i could lie pretty well if required tbh

I know a Couple (She's American, He's Aussie) that met through Final Fantasy XI (Which is the FF MMORPG) but they're Syd based... 4 years later and they're engaged now.

A guy from school met his current wife through an online dating site, but that doesn't seem to be what they're after.

Every now and then I hear about people 'meeting' in MMORPG's, but thats where the relationship stays. Few that I hear of after meeting (if they meet) keep up a relationship for even an average amount of time.

Also, I asume they meant a romantic relationship? Some of the guys that I use to play RTCW: ET against had a couple of 'meet the player' nights where we all went out for a few drinks... Just like the QGL meet ups. I'm also a mate with someone I first met in FFXI.

Yeah I totally lied, I did keep shagging her till she had to back to bangkok, then I got out of it

ive met heaps of people on the internet, they've been predominantly all aweosme, except for redhat who is and always will be fail

just wait till you meet me at the next qgl event spook!

true spook, you did meet me on the internets

you just organise to meet them IRL if they are interested

somewhere public, obviously

i met quite a few and only had 1 that was pretty vague with the pic she sent, i was just polite for the night, didn't flirt and didn't see her again lolz

ill never forget my webcam purchasing moment

i ended up selling it to some dude down the coast when i found out it was totally useless for catching which ever dog from the neighbourhood was s***ting gross diarrea s***s in my yard

good times

I met my wife on ICQ. Very exciting.

met my wife on RSVP

awesome woman love her heaps

I met my partner online, but it was through a dating website, so not too interesting...and a bit sad if anything really lol.

What about that guy with the hair and existence's sister (Janey)?

Which dod clan was that Carson?

g0t_bean and janey, ah yes, it's all coming back to me

I met my wife through CS (shut up, it was all the rage back then). I was in Brisbane she was in Melbourne (Shafted junkie or something along those lines). I ended up going to Melbourne for a bit and she ultimately ended up moving to Brisbane. We dated for 6 years and got married 2 years ago. Don't think I would marry someone after meeting them in person for 3 days...

So...the Sunday mail. Isn't that affiliated with gossipnews.com.au ?

i met your mum online

Funny it's usually the police and a frantic mother looking for couples that have met online.

I met my ex online. I met my husband through friends but we all socialised on IRC more than IRL.

on your webcam

tits out for the boys

I wouldn't say that..I don't like news.com.au and their cronies...wait am I going to get payed for my interview? :O

hahahahahaha no :)

Pity. She looks like fun.

she's got a nice attachment.

What's with the big tapeworm thing?!

- I met my wife @ Qgl Lan ( thanks to Power, Ember and Einstein )

she did the whole ausgamers.irc thing but she got f***ed around. none of us stuck with it

- a mate met his wife on a dating site (now divorced)



either way - it's just another way to make contact with people. certainly better than meeting randoms in bars

Yeah I met my other half online and ever since I have been traveling backwards and forwards to the US as often as I can.

Which dod clan was that Carson?

I'm curious as well...

A lot of my good mates I met through online gaming.

I met spook when I was underage on the internets.

Lesson learned, never doing it again the internets is full of predators.

The worst part was getting a job where he worked and learning perl;
