Hello guys, I'll tell you this as brief as possible. I used to play minecraft on 3 servers consecutively in a span of 1.5 years. The best of my friends who I met on the first server was there on the 2nd and 3rd server. This included a girl. She was quiet most of the time coz she didn't know much english, but during last 5 months on the 3rd server, she became very friendly with the rest of us. I was a little close to her, because I knew her from the first server. On her birthday, I made her a cute cake in the game. She was happy. Later that day, I got a mail saying that she liked me. I am halfway around the world from her, so I was worried about what will happen to us if I say yes. What can I do from here? Nevertheless, I said yes. I was positive that things wouldn't work out between us, but I didn't say a word about it to her. After a couple of weeks, I was having trouble with my internet and it was hard to keep in touch with her. Finally, my internet was out for a month. When I came back she told me to check my mail. There was a mail from her. She told me that she liked someone else. I wasn't angry or too depressed. I understood her. But, what I wanted to ask you guys and girls is that, what was the things she expected from me? What are the things I should have done for her to show her that I loved her sincerely? What I needed to do so that she would waited for me?

Hi there. I hope you don't get hurt, because I'm going to be a bit blunt. She probably wasn't that serious about a relationship with you.
Distant relationships are difficult, yes. But that doesn't mean it's something one should take lightly. Also, being unable to contact you probably made her think again about the situation. That or she knew someone and realized she didn't want to be in a distant relationship. (but let's be real here, there's nothing you could do about that)
Next time, try to exchange phone numbers and addresses. This should help when there is no internet.

Either way, I don't think it's your fault. So don't fret over it. (I'm sorry if I was too rude, but I've seen similar cases and this is what happenned back then)

"what was the things she expected from me?"

To treat her like a girlfriend. Did you tell anyone on the server you two liked each other and were getting together? Did you introduce her to anyone from your personal life? Did you share anything new about yourself? Did you talk with her privately off the server whenever you could? Etc. If you didn't show any initiative about it, she probably assumed you just said yes since you felt bad for her.

>>2 I'd be wary of this. Yes, online relationships are hard, especially when you're young, but there's a very delicate balance you have to keep regarding your personal information. On one hand, you don't want to give them your number in case it turns out they aren't who you think they are, but talking to them through a phone can help show that you're serious about it.

I always suggest video Skyping with them before you give out any information so you know they're being honest and serious. Only then would I say it's "alright" to give out your phone number. But don't give out your address unless you have to.
