Funny and scary at the same time. I guess with 10 000 000 people you basically have the audience of a country.

If you're lonely (which seems somewhat likely if you're a hardcore raider, unless your girl friend is one too), I guess this serves a purpose. Always thought it'd be cool to date a gamer. Never met a female gamer myself. Maybe I hang out with the wrong crowd :P

@ovidiu Maybe everyone isn't as superficial? :)

In principle this is a good idea, but in practical application it's doomed. The WoW population is at least 80% male. Of that 20%, most of the women I've met were happily married home makers.

Not that impressed with the site. It seems to be modeled after Match.com, which is simply the worst dating site out there. They shoulda used the OkCupid engine, it's free and proven to work.

@ChiperSoft

Actually, we didn't model it after match.com, but thanks for the try!

OkCupid's engine works fine for what the particular people use it for. That's great for them.

Finally, if you did any snooping around, you'd realize that we actually used the Official Wrath of the Lich King Fan Site Kit provided by Blizzard. You can find a copy here:

@Datecraft,

you made comments on everything Chipersoft said except the important facts that 80% of the WoW population is male. Please give your comments on that statistics, since if that is true, your site will be a fab.
You probably though of this but instead of just marketing to WoW players, why don't you focus on the entire MMO industry and make portals for each major game and allow people to meet each other who play that specific game. Additionally this will allow people with muliple interests in WoW, Eve, hellgate London etc, to have more choice of people to meet.

Btw Chipersoft actually gave you a compliment on the idea but all you read was his opinion on the tools used to develop the site.

Again good idea but need to answer Chipersoft question unless you think there will be high return from male/male dating on your site.

Anyway good luck!

I'd just like to say that the 95% of all statistics are made up on the spot...
