Honestly, it all depends on the circumstances. I knew two people who used to know eachother irl, but one moved away. They continued their relationship for as long as i know, and boy was there a lot of drama in that one...

but i guess they both loved eachother, so it sorta worked. i say sorta because i don't want to get into details about two other peoples personal lives.

anyways, i guess. If both people put enough effort into it, it works. Meeting over MMO's, and long distance relationships are two very different things.

As long as they have plans to be together after a while, sure. But if it stays as an online thing, then they can just do whatever.

Personally, i'd never have a long distance relationship but some people would.
