Its all just in fun
The most common snag of a potential romance in an MMORPG is having a person who is paired off in the RL, but whose partner does not play. Where does the line between the RL and role-play get drawn, and how does the player keep his or her partner from feeling jealous or concerned about the in-game romance? Again it is the dynamics behind the keyboard that will determine how this situation would play out. A jealous partner would probably not be supportive or condone any type of in-game romance role-playing, whereas another type of partner may have no concerns whatsoever. To quote the spouse of a gamer friend of mine, “Honey, if you left me for someone you met playing Star Wars Galaxies then it was probably my fault”
