This is what we do in my house. My son, honey and myself have our own PC?s and WoW accounts. Were all on the same server. My WoW account is for my personal use and for friends who are visiting who wish to play with my family members. Since our female visitors aren?t interested in playing, my PC is available to their guys. This setup seems to work out well.

Unfortunately, I think your wife made a mistake by setting up her character on your PC.
Unless there is no other way, I suggest she start a new Gnome character on her PC. Your PC belongs to you and therefore you have dibbs, not her.

This is the first PC game I?ve been interested in playing. I?m learning everything from scratch. This includes all of my keyboard controls, how to walk, communicate, trade, talents, skills, game lingo etc. etc. Remember those days? Frustrating, huh? The only thing that was easy for me to learn was the auction house. I?m a low-level 18 priest with a little over 100g?s in the bank. Obviously as an overall rookie, I?m not a very good player, but I?m learning and I love playing. And someday?.someday?I?ll be saving or kicking your as*. :p

Thanks guys for all the replies. Yes I know how lucky I am to have a wife that enjoys WoW. The solution to my problem is to allow the wife to play her character on my account when we are together. I have learned to enjoy playing a priest character. I also started a Dwarf hunter to keep me busy while she doesn?t need any help with quests. The only down side is I have to maintain the priest character so I can help her when she needs me.

HILLARIOUS .. I laughed long and hard

I would be so excited if my wife would start playing any computer games with me, I would play whatever character complimented her, and I would give her my computer in a heartbeat. Sometimes when we are spoiled we don't know how good we have it.

man up and change your freakin password on your account. what's the point of her having her own pc and account if she doesn't freakin use it?
