Jennifer is Innocense's real name in real life, who is a slight, softly-spoken 23-year-old administrator who lives in Cumbria. She plays the most successful online role-playing game World of Warcraft. With 12 million players worldwide, an entire episode of South Park devoted to it and many celebrity fans, World of Warcraft Online is a global phenomenon and a significant number of its fans are women. Innocense casts a healing spell on the battle-worn warriors, scoops up her gold and mounts her winged dragon. Before flying over the mountains to Dalaran, she indulges in a little flirtatious banter with Eroskar, a tall, dark-haired knight who also happens to be her boyfriend.
Players create a character and as they progress through the game, completing quests and gaining experience, their character increases in strength In World of Warcraft. Jennifer has been playing World of Warcraft for three years and after initially using it as an escape from boredom, the game became her solace and eventually led to a new life.
"When I originally started playing, I had no intention of looking for love. I was settled in a relationship and things were going smoothly.” But as her real-life relationship deteriorated, she started developing feelings for guild-mate Nicky. “We spent every night sharing photos and talking on webcam. In time we grew closer and closer. We didn’t play WoW for the game any longer, but rather to be together. Both of us were scared of our feelings but one night we declared our love for each other.” Jennifer’s relationship reached crisis point as her feelings for Nicky grew: “Me and my partner separated shortly after this, however, we were forced by financial difficulties to live in the same house. One night we were arguing and I didn’t realise I’d left the webcam on and Nicky had helplessly witnessed us fight. It was at this point he came to my rescue. Nicky and his dad drove across the country and took all my stuff up to Cumbria, where I stayed with his parents until I had enough money to support myself. This was a true escape for me as I had little family I could rely on and I had nowhere to go.”
Alice is a feminist, and she says women playing WoW have brought “balance to the force. It makes WoW feel like a dinner party rather than ‘a waste of time’. I believe 100 per cent that women and men are equal in intellect and capability and men are equally capable of all the so-called female traits, like empathy and sociability. Balancing the genders brings out the best in both sides.” So-called female traits are crucial to success in the game because players have to work together as a team and communicate effectively to achieve their goals — there’s no room for egos when you’re trying to kill a giant dragon.
“As a group we ask each other for advice and have discussions about everything from child-rearing to relationships to where we should go on holiday. We celebrated a guild member’s 21st birthday and a wedding recently. One of our members has a son getting ready to deploy to Iraq — Got Girls has become a big part of her support system. We have truly become a family.” Jennifer says: “Men assume you play because you’re lonely and looking for love, but we bring equality to a very male-dominated online society and even offer relationship advice to our male companions.” We WGT ( wow-gold-team.com ) wish all single players find love in the game World of Warcraft.
