A history and a proposal

[Healemup]

So, with the new pending nuptials are you going to fork over the $15 or so for the name change? May I recommend Solonomore (Solo No More). ;-)

And, I actually thought someone else must have been on your account. I remember the angry man from back in the day and I can say I have run with you recently and had noticed the change. Glad to see that you allowed a positivie influence help you discover a happier you.

Good luck.

Congrats are in order, too bad I don't have an appropriate demotivator to use.

Ah well, probably for the best. I chalk this event up as another reason why video games (and MMOs in particular) are good for you.

I hope everything works out great for you both.

Those that know me know alot about me. those that have heard of me may know some about me. Soloartist. soloartiste. I actually played this game alot longer before i ever used those names. To anyone who has ran with me the last oh 4 or 5 months know im a great guy I have changed considerably from my earlier days as solo. I was angry all the time. boy was i ever ****ed. i would say the best group i ever ran was 5 hirelings. i promoted guilds sucked and hated people in here in general. hell i even joined a chinese guild because they didnt speak my language. then came cassie.

Cassie was to me at the time just another girl who usd her sexy voice to swoon and manipulate men on here thats what i thought. so i ignored her. my ignore list was almost filled then too. (still trying to delete all the names. quite a few lol). but she was unbelievably kind. i pushed her away, and she told me she cared. was very nice. my home life was with an angry abusive woman who didnt love me anymore. cassie was a sweetheart. she wanted to run with me when we first started partying up that was about a year and a half now. or so she has been with me on here doing EVERYTHING. she has been unbelievable loyal and caring. she has showed me compassion when noone else would. i was enamored to say the least. i gave her tons of presents. good ones. were talkign bloodstones, firestone greaves, spectral gloves. hell i spammed her mailbox full of tomes one time. she was good to me. shes also unbelievably intelligent. i kept saying how its amazing how smart she is. she actually has a double major bachelprs degree-biochemistry and Biology & a masters degree in zoology. she knows all about the heart. shes a programmer. shes a singer. she can shoot a good rifle. she loves this game as much as i do. i am a huge fan of learning and have a passion for history and science. she loves sci-fi. i can go on. i got really close at some point and tole her without a doubt i love you cassandra and i would have married you if i could. she was with someone. i stayed veryt close and supportive. she was my friend so i was hers. we never even discussed US when she broke it off with that idiot. shes so strong for leaving him. i saw her eventually on the net and she took my breath away. shes absolutely beautiful. yes.

So yes.
oh god yes. i will take you as my wife. i will care for you. i will protect you. i will hold you. i will always be there for you and i will enjoy exploring life with you. you have shown me people are kind and gentle. i am such a better person for meeting you. i am so much happier. because of you i have made many new friends and diplomatically settled old grudges. noone else could have done that. we are for each other. i am for you.

-for those who don't like long posts, the last paragraph is the punchline-

My name is Cassie. As DDO playerbase goes, I am one of the younger players, in my mid-twenties. This post is, by nature, personal, so if you don’t like these types of posts, then back away slowly, or run away screaming, as you choose. My ex was into D&D, so he told me, and when DDO came free-to-play he came to me with great excitement telling me he had found a game for us to play (we had been playing a different MMO that was getting increasingly frustrating). I’m a gamer girl by nature but I never anticipated the effect that this game would change things.

After a few false starts we ran up the levels with me on a cleric, him on a ranger arcane archer. We levelled fast, picking up a semi-static group for a large amount of time. Most of those no longer play for various reasons. Often we would run with a tempest ranger, his name familiar to many, Diashanak, a healer Kaora and others whose names escape me. Dia used to joke that he had been spoilt going up the levels by constantly running with good healers, that when he reached his epic runs, he was repeatedly shocked at some of the healers he picked up.

We stayed at 20 for a while, with my ex- becoming increasingly unwilling to play unless there was a group up doing exactly what he was in the mood for at the time. We were recruited into Eternal Wrath around then by a good friend, and became close to many players within the guild. A friend, Oloros, taught me how to rebuild my cleric into an effective toon, and using his clonk as a base, I reincarnated my cleric (Lainith) into the same build.

Running up the levels the second time was slower, as my ex- played less often. I hate running on my own, so I built a favoured soul to run with a friend I had met, who was aiming for completionist (Soloartist/Soloartiste). At the time we had met, he was very loud and angry in party frequently, and blocked me the first time I talked because he thought my voice was sexy (I was later unblocked).
Writing this history here does serve a purpose, I swear, but I am a writer by nature and tend to draw things out. Sorry. I live in New Zealand. I am a scientist, just finished my Masters degree at university, I am a gamer, I am a writer. I am extremely passionate, quite silly, and as a general rule love getting to know people. When I gamed with my ex- he would try to hide that we were a couple, and would often speak negatively of me in party, as was his nature.

To my shock, as me and my ex- struggled through our relationship I found myself drawing closer to my online friend, Solo. The fact that he was so far away (America) meant we were completely honest to each other, each becoming a source of comfort to each other, through some very rough times.
The rest perhaps is history. He started to love me when I was still with my ex, but never pressured me to decide. For myself, I buried my emotions, but ended up eventually breaking the relationship for other reasons (so I told myself anyway), as it had been abusive for quite some time. Both me and Solo said that I wasn’t leaving my ex to be with Solo, but I’m not really sure who we thought we were fooling.

By now, most of Sarlona knows us. He is on his seventh life, and I am working on my original healer again having run a favoured soul (Lainiana, now a fighter), a bard (Metalainith, reincarnated now), and a monk (Cassiekat). For those who have run with us, most of the time his, somewhat vivid, descriptions in party chat are often entirely true, although it makes me giggle, as no one ever believes him. He is proud to be with me, and I him, and the way we talk I think is a sign of that, a sign of possession if you will.


We have our plans of where we go from here, but this thread has a specific purpose. Solo, solo. Lover man, friend and confidant. It will be some time before we meet and before I exchange vows with you, so my sir, I would ask you something here, through this venue we both love. Will you marry me on here? We met here, we fell in love on here, will you marry me on here?

Good luck.

I was hoping to talk the gm's into letting me change my last name, but I don't even know if that's possible. Would hate him to change his name, he's Soloartiste, that's who he is . I could change mine . But I do want to take his surname, it would be fitting.

And I don't know if Solo realised this, but I would kind of like to do an in game marriage thing.

They got wedding rings in the safe deposit boxes in that marketplace quest.

[Valindria]

Edit: Congrats.

Intimidate? That sounds awful harsh.

I'm think +15 diplomacy might be more appropriate.

well now. i know that might be cnsidered clever on your part. but...alot and i mean ALOT of people care for diashanak on here. it was very tragic what happened to him. it is probably not in the best interest to make jokes about that. many people could be very offended. remember the goal of these forums. its to not hurt others.

[Missing_Minds]

No, that is very rude.

Yeah I'd have to agree it has no place here. But seems he was hurting someone also according to that article on his wife's point of view.

[Maxelcat]

YAY!!!!

keep us posted!

[Sikita]

Congratulations and best of luck to you both!
