Filed under: Night Elves , Fan stuff , Virtual selves , Humor This is one of the sillier articles that PC Gamer UK has probably ever written about massively multiplayer online games, but still, I enjoyed it. One of their writers went (only half seriously) looking for love in a few popular virtual worlds, and he found it, surprisingly enough, in Azeroth. Neither EvE Online or City of Heroes were very helpful in the love-finding department -- despite finding a fetching young lady superheroine in CoH , the writer was a little disappointed to find out she was a he behind the keyboard . But WoW , as usual, provides the best of MMO experiences -- the writer finds some cute love in the Night Elf starting area . Sure, it's silly (and probably not true -- just because someone says they're a Finnish college student means nothing at all online). But I found it strangely touching, the thought that a real human connection could be made in an online game. And isn't that why we play these in the first place?
