Do you guys live close together or use the Matrix forums to communicate? That's cool you guys both play WiTP!
I used to play Ultima Online side by side with my wife's cousin. Oh, did our wives have a lot of practice rolling their eyes!

"Relatively close enough for relatives".

Close enough.  I live in Land o Lakes, FL which is north of Tampa by about 40 minutes.  Dave lives in Valrico, which is about 30 minutes east of Tampa.  It’s about 45 minutes between us.  It’s close enough that’s it not a problem to get together, and far enough apart to not annoy each other (I wish my in-laws could grasp that concept).

But if see he’s lurking the forums (he doesn’t post as much as I do), I sometimes mix in OT stuff with my posts in his threads (obviously).

Dave played UO a lot.  Was somebody fairly important on Catskills, ran the Mage Tower there I think.  I didn’t play as much, I had dial-up at the time, and that tended to get you killed in PvP.  We played Asheron’s Call a lot as well.  Also WW2O (flight sim).  That was fun getting on team-speak with the rest of our squadron.  My wife actually thought it was cool to just listen to radio chatter from the other room.  We were an older bunch, and several of them were prior military, so there was good radio discipline.  She said it sounded like a real CIC (yes, my wife knows what a CIC is, I have oft walked by to find her watching “Dogfights” without me).
