Finally a dating site for the World of Warcraft–obsessed friends that put up a roommate ad on Craigslist.
Datecraft.com aims to "assist and facilitate the building of relationships between World of Warcraft enthusiasts." A site called The Curse recently interviewed the Datecraft founder, who explained that the inspiration for the site came after years of him playing online games and wondering about the people on the other end of the Internet. Here's more:
I began to wonder “who are these people I’m playing with?” Was that Midgard Dwarf really a short stubby 40-something year old in his mom’s basement? Or was it a really attractive, young female that had some extra time on her hands? In any case, my curiosity led me to begin thinking about ways in which I would be able to meet, or at least see, my fellow guildmates (and the random PUG groups) on or offline. And, to be quite honest, the Elf from Hibernia, was she dateable?
After the launch of World of Warcraft, the Datecraft founder said he began hearing "real life stories of people who had met in game, contacted each other in real life, met each other, dated, and then married!" The resulting site is a natural extension of the online gaming and dating phenomenon, but is genuinely entertaining and interesting for both gamers and nongamers.

Ok, I played WoW for several years ... have been an online gamer for years and years, as a matter of fact. I've never understood this desire. I like my online friendships, well, online. Ahh well.
1Oh geez-- this might be something I have to send to my b-friend and tell him if he doesn't quit playing he'll be looking here.. haha!
2haha maddiemay, my boyfriend loves this game and it sends me insane. we should start a 'World of Warcraft Girlfriends' support group haha
3Totally! Just showed it to him and said 'Consider yourself warned'
4wow. i should tell my old friend.
5she's ruined her life playing WOW thus far. maybe she can find someone to share it with. haha
Wow haha.
6not really for me, but this sounds like a good idea for people into the game!
7maddiemay and lilwildone, if you start a support group, sign me up!!! my boyfriend is totally addicted. i sent him this post and told him that if he doesn't shape up i'm gonna create a profile for him on there!!!
8Okay, I play WoW and raid and love my guild and all that but seriously, this website is really pathetic. Geek2Geek is bad enough!
9I dumped my last boyfriend because of this game!! I wonder if he knows about this site.
lol
10I love warcraft but currently can't play 'cause I can't fit it into my budget. But when I heard news of the Datecraft site I joined thinking it would be fun. I was wrong, as usual. To me it was a site full of pervy men and immature boys. It was a nice idea though.
11Well I would like to meet some of my
12Sugar friends someday.
