Looking for love? Get on Warcraft!

In one of my earliest blog posts, I talked about how WoW is the perfect example of an effective online community. Turns out, it's an effective online dating site as well!

A recent study by Online University shows that World of Warcraft may be more effective than eHarmony or Match.com in finding your potential mate.

It's like when two leads end up together in action movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean or The Mummy. Unlike dating sites, you meet through a common experience (ex. a quest or an adventure) and not a survey, which tells you a lot more about each other than a list of characteristics you wrote yourself.

Much like "real life", two people don't necessarily have to share the same interests to make a good couple (something that most dating sites rely on when finding a match). What's important is that they trust and understand each other, have common goals, and work well as a team -- and aren't these what makes successful WoW players?
