Quite a long distance. In under a year I'd packed up and moved. Her career was rooted, mine was a lousy job easily given up. She works from home now but I left everything- family, friends, job, familiarity, and made my life about this relationship. Might still be the best decision I ever made. Easily the most dramatic. WoW gave me my current life and partner, much more than the few years I played it.
