Girl Deletes Boyfriend’s World of Warcraft Characters (Rage Ensues)
Posted by Tom Cheredar | June 11th, 2010 at 5:34 pm
Few things can drive a person to smash expensive electronics in a fit of pure and unadulterated rage. Having your girlfriend delete all your World of Warcraft level 80, geared-out characters while you run to the store for a pack of cigarettes is certainly one way to achieve this.
Such is the case with the video embedded below, which features the poor bastard’s girlfriend recording the experience while explaining her logic for deleting all those WoW characters.
“He thinks he’s going to be raiding all night, but let’s see about that,” she says in the video, and then proceeds to type out the required “D-E-L-E-T-E” confirmation before it processes the request.
While I’m sure there are plenty Geek-girls of Doom out there who’ll squeal with amusement (having possibly lost quality time with their own boyfriends due to the WarCrack addition), this was a pretty harsh move. Personally, I had to pause the video and psyche myself up to watch the reaction at the end — knowing it would be pretty heinous.
Gamer’s rage aside, an important lesson can be learned from all of this: “Don’t screw with your woman, or your woman will screw you… and then she won’t.”

[NOTE: It serves him right for rolling Alliance instead of Horde, which is the preferred faction for Geeks of Doom's WoW Guild.]
1. The guy is a god damn r-tard for fucking up his machine like that. Open a ticket you dumbass.
2. the girl OBVIOUSLY plays because she’s so quick with the controls.
3. The girl is a malicious bitch that needs to be sent back to the kitchen. what she did was SO passive aggressive and disrespectful.
Yep Im a girl.

what a tool… he should have just called in blizzards tech support and gotten his characters restored its not that hard…

I was involved in a wow intervention once. i totally pwned a 15 year old’s account.
first i answered a trade chat asking for a BS combine which the character didn’t even have. i took the mats and vendored them to the blacksmithing vendor. Next i stripped the character of all his BOP epics and DEd them. and then put the crystals on the ah for 10 silver buyout. all the while this guy was getting all nerd rage on me in trade and yell and people in org were telling him to stfu.
i vendored everything he had, both in his bank and his bags and gave his 2000g to what was clearly a level 1 bank alt. then i started telling racist jokes for about a minute.
then i logged off and deleted the character. then created a character with the same name (a rogue, he had been a lock before).
before i got out even out of the crypt in deathknell that guy was spamming me, i just told him to f off and put him on ignore.
i played through the opening quests and felt a bit of nostalgia but it was frustrating not being able to dual wield. i had only ever played a a rogue on a friend’s 70, and this was before rogues could dualwield from the beginning.
as i was making my way to the undercity a GM sent me a tell andi just started telling some of the racist jokes in the middle of the third one i lost connection to the server.
when the kid got home, his mother told him that she had his account deleted and i told him everything that i did. I warned her he might go insane like try to put a remote control is his ass but she didn’t believe me. instead he drove a riding lawnmower into a pond.

Just backing up what was said by many above. This is so obviously staged. That implies that the whole thing could have been made a lot funnier and a lot more entertaining, since there was probably no other good reason to stage it in the first place.
thtguy
no shiyt people he got mad, that was his hobby. he spent time, and MONEY to get that far. just as a girl would get mad for someone destroying her 8000000 dollar purse or breaking all the windows out of your car. just because ur a attention whore doesnt mean u can go and break and delete peoples stuff…
Jeff
Staged in my opinion… I had a few problems with the video.
My problems:
1) She knows her way around the game. Not conclusive evidence, she may have played at some point too, but still… raises suspicions and the suspicion led me to look for more.
2) She’s deleting the characters and typing on the keyboard… and the Camera’s moving. Sooooooo if she’s typing, who’s the idiot who can’t keep the camera still?
3) Why delete individual specific items? The characters themselves can be deleted from the main screen as you saw her do with two of them. So why log in to one of them and specifically delete the high level gear, knowing you only have to delete the character…
What I think is going on:
They’re pulling a fast one on Blizz(or rather trying to) I think items of any importance have already been sold for Gold and that gold traded to another character(probably on HER account). Then to cover their tracks they’re dressing the act up as though the account was hacked, Gold sellers commonly hack accounts to steal gold to sell for real money and they also sell high level soulbound armor to NPC’s for that extra cash as an extra ‘spite’, them deleting the gear makes it appear this has happened which is why her act of deleting the gear raised my suspicions.
But why stop there, if you’re gonna do this you may as well maximize on fun, why not make a web video and pretend the GF just deleted all the characters. So for the price of a $60-80 monitor(being generous), you now have a video that is getting several hits a day online from WoW players the world over. Meanwhile calling blizz and telling them the account was hacked whose standard fix is to roll the character back money, gear and all taking generally 2-3days. So now they’ve lost nothing, in fact, they’ve gained the Gold they traded to another character on her account before deleting them, doubling their money.
Anywho, thats what I think is going on. And for her sake, I hope I’m right. If I’m wrong and that was real, she crossed the line and if he finds out what really happened(probably will by the fame of this video) then she’s opened the door to a new unfriendly type of warfare. Hope she doesn’t collect dolls, or have any of Mom’s fine china, if she does she may come home to find it all burning on the front lawn the next time she goes out, and I think he’s fully within his rights to exact just that kind of revenge :)
Either way, funny stuff.

Giant ass dickmove, nothing else to it. Allthough he probably should’ve played that game with more moderation, she still was in the wrong to do this. The time, and effort involved is massive to gear up all those characters. If she felt he played WoW too much, talking with him would’ve been the right move, not fuck his shit up. That goes to anything really. If that doesnt work, break up and move on.
GMan
Why didnt he exit the game then restart it? As any techy would think ‘Oh maybe there having database issues…perhaps if i exit and relogin all will be restored to normal.’ Instead of this fail-safe check first…he bashes his monitor. This is Gold-gain fakery at its best.
man
you dont just take away drugs from an addict
Sean
Damn that must have sucked so much. I’ve never played WoW but I understand how it’s a part of some people’s lives. It’s just a complete dick move to get rid a someone’s life like that.
Jesus Christ on a cracker… Now, physical violence is never the answer. I’d never hit my boyfriend for any reason.
However, he should dump her ass. To all you assholes saying shit about WoW players: Shut the fuck up. My BF, has a good job, works a lot, had a car before it got totaled last week, has a LOT of friends, has a girlfriend(me), and raids 4 times a week, for 3 hours. So… no. Do I think he plays a little too much? Yeah. But I talk to him about it. I also have my OWN hobbies to keep myself occupied while he’s raiding if I’m there. Plus, I got to see him and his guild defeat the Lich King for the first time. I was actually kind of impressed, even though I hate WoW with a fiery passion. His guild members are hilarious.
I tried it, and was bored. I’m a gamer, but it wasn’t my thing. But seriously, that would be like someone wiping my PS2 memory card. I have about 300+ hours on that card from gaming. Shit. That bitch needs to be kicked to the curb. I put about the same amount of effort into my console games, and if someone fucked my shit up, I’d smash something, too. Not a person, but definitely objects. She’s a bitch.
Ha, he stumbled this to me. I assured him I’d never pull this shit.

He can file an abuse report to blizzard, and there is a chance that they may intervene. Never had experiences with WoW but I deleted my eve character, 3 months later I asked for it back. They gave it to me no questions asked.
And yes, he deserved it for giving out his password. Blizzard would be much more unlikely to intervene. But he CAN take her to court. People have been jailed/fined for doing this before.
Mr. obvious
You know, he could of went on that last avatar he had and ask the gms to bring them back :P RAGE!!!!
rein
not nearly as epic as i thought it would be…idk why the video didn’t keep going, he wasn’t done raging yet.
Tiriki
Personally, if my toons were deleted, I would have hit someone, not the computer, she should be afraid for her life.
Gabe
That’s what he gets for playing alliance…
Troy
A WoW nerd has to be at least a LITTLE physically abusive to have a girlfriend in the first place.
Kendra
oh man me and my husband play wow so this would piss me off.I think that’s pretty harsh since you do put a lot of money and time into wow.Although any guy that will hit a woman is a fucking pussy.So as long at it was just his comp. that’s ok lol
but yeah she would be hitting the road if i was him.That just shows a total lack of respect for his things just cause little princess was not getting enough attention.She could you know start playing with him.
DARKiREAPERi
wow all he has to do is call customer support and say
“someone hacked my account and deleted my characters” and they will say “we are terribly sorry we will restore them” and they will give all its stuff back and suggest to change his pass and etc. trust me he will have his characters back by the end of the week lol she is ignorant for even thinking that would solve anything
Alright, so I’ve read a couple of comments, I play my self and if my boyfriend did that to me I would freak out. It’s taken me 3 years to get my 4 80′s to geared and raiding status and even if its a simple call the Blizzard (WHICH ISN’T THAT SIMPLE, Took me 3 days to get a hold of someone when my account was hacked! Then I was locked out for 2 weeks!) the first shock is almost like loosing a dog you’ve raised from a puppy only to find out someone took that dog and killed it. Some of you think, ‘DAMN It’s a game!’ and it is, but think of the hobby or object you hold most dear and thats the game to some people. Now, he didn’t have to go smashing his stuff, but hell he now has a reason to go and UPGRADE! I feel for this guy, I really do, and if I was him, that bitch would be tossed out on her ass faster than she’d realize it.
He shouldn’t have stayed logged in when he left for the store.
Patrick
It’s just a stupid game! This guy is a tool for blowing up like that over a COMPUTER GAME! It’s not real-life…
Cizoc
He has an extra monitor, you can see it in the background after he knocks over the first one.
Rot Bottom
She has no right. Tho I don’t WoW, I’d punch my wife if she fucked with one of my game accounts. And she knows it.
azster17
i would have done the same thing as this guy, except i would dropped kick the computer across the flat and then smashed the fuck of her and leave he for dead.
im a full time gamer playing from 40-50hrs a wk on just one game alone and to see all my hard work & effort get throw away cause she didnt like it, well she got something else coming to her.
PS. i am single and it will stay that way, dnt need to put up with all the bitchn and whinning frm a girl, makes my life easier
Synfulz
Ok… on both sides… Gurl she had a point but im pretty sure people can actually talk about these things, if he didnt understand she shoulda just moved on with life before ruinin what ever was left of his… the guy… you need to calm down…hell you didnt even log into your character correctly to figure out if everything was gone… no you kicked you computer in a nerd rage. Calm down try to figure out exactly before you even start goin in , hell i would have thought it was some glitch goin on and spoke to a gm real quick. not kick my decent build computer i probably paid about 1k for. and spend time with your gf guy… or dont have one at all… women are crazy and yet superior…dont for one moment think men were superior…and this is comin from a guy :) lol
munchkin
I would probably have told her to pick a window, cos she sure as hell wouldn’t be leaving out the front door.
Brian
She did him a favor, this guy is plain retarded.
David
WOW losers I swear. Can anyone say addiction? She is probably lucky she wasn’t standing there. He looks like the kind of guy that would have done that to her instead of the pc if he would have known at the time.

I can’t believe nobody freaked out about my psychotic remarks. Not that I was trolling… cough cough…
But I digress, about the video …
None of it truly matters. Nor do the people involved. Lets just hope they don’t procreate.
Joseph
176 comments. Well done, Geeks of Doom. Well done.
Britt
If this video is true, she did this guy a favor. Get out into the real world. I have seen this game ruin so many lives. Everything in moderation…other than that its just as bad as too much alcohol/anything else addicting. Funny, bud a sad commentary on where we are headed.
kurisu7885
Ok, was probably staged, but if not…
Ok, the guy over reacted, but imagine this, a guy is working on a hot rod, say a show car, and has been for years, he’s VERY close to getting it completed, but his girlfriend thinks he spends too much time on it and not enough on her. He goes to the parts store, and behind his back she lined up someone to buy it and haul it off that day, or worse, she later gives him a video of it being shredded.
How would YOU react?
I’m willing to bet he does indeed have a job, as he had to get that computer somehow, probably not her with her attitude, and he seemed to be in good shape so he obviously gets out, and my guess is he went with her to do crap he really, REALLY didn’t want to do because he loved her, however he dare have a hobby of his own? Is he only supposed to sit at home and veg until SHE wants to do something?
At least his rage went at that monitor instead of a person.
As for those saying the guy just PLAYING WoW was wrong, well, you’d fail to see the irony that you likely found this via stumbleupon, even if it were pointed out.
I don’t play sports because I hate sports, I don’t work on cars as I don’t know jack about cars, I don’t do pottery, painting or woodworking as supplies get expensive. Gaming is a cheaper hobby than most of those. I also take care of fish, cook, clean, do dishes, take care of the lawn because my dad is away and my mom needs the help, so I admit I don’t have a job due to disability and because my mom needs the help. Should I just be expected to veg until my mom needs something, or do I nee to just be stressed because I do more than I really should have to?
Also, regardless of what she did, she deserves to be yelled at, not hit, or at least have one of HER hobbies wrecked, if she doesn’t think hobbies are for losers if this is real.

Am I the only one who thought “FALCON, PUNCH!!!” before he decked his monitor?
UnKnOwN
Well, Me And My boyfriend play WoW, but separate accounts of course. We don’t share accounts because of things like this will probably happen. She is stupid. If she didn’t want him to play the game,then why didn’t she tell him instead of deleting his characters and his gear? She’s at least lucky, he didn’t smash her face or something because he seem’d really pissed off.
Oh. My. God.
I am a girl and would never do that ever. Someone deleting one of my games would have me in a complete fit of rage.
I don’t think I’d ever be able to hit my computer though, it is my baby. That is the same as punching a baby in the face. o.e
Wow.
I’d kill a bitch though.
Pretty Pissed At Chicks Like This
Having only sampled the game, I don’t know the amount of time required to get those characters to their shown strength (gear included), so I can only make a really bad guess.
So lets guess it took him a year of playing for his first character, and about half a year for the other. 18 months x $15/month = $270.00 . He should be able to demand that she pay him for the money spent on the character, and she should be forced to pay it, without exceptions.
As for how to get the time and effort back. Can’t be done without really crossing a few boundaries that you can’t un-cross. She’s definitely not worth going to jail over, so it seems that all that time and concentration will have to be accepted as a loss. And considering how finite an individuals time is, that’s a pretty huge blow to their overall life.
Goatracer
The reaction says if he hasn’t spend time in jail already ,he will.
tristan
wow your a c*nt
u dont f*ck with another mans wow account
Ponter B
What cemetary is the GF buried? I’d like to send flowers.
Val
I’d beat her up. psycho b*tch.
Kalle
Man, whatever happened to talking out your problems with loved ones?
Toby
This is destruction of property. It’s probably staged, but if it happened in real life the woman would be in for jail time and huge fines.
AguaMyst
I was thinking the same thing as the first post… she was pretty quick with that navigation. How did she know how to delete individual items? Either she plays or she’s watched.
My second thought is that Blizzard should really put in a feature where instead of the user typing “DELETE” that the user inserts their password instead to avoid this. Granted, the girlfriend shouldn’t know the password for this but it’s better than just typing delete.
Third, yeah, the dude can get those characters back. It is upsetting but not enough to destroy my computer. That’s just going to hurt my budget. Of course, it’ll take a while to get them back but you get them back none-the-less.
And I hope she dumped him after this. He seems rather…. violent.
