 1. Lonely, and sick of it. | 3/2/2006 2:41:50 AM PST
There is no excuse for me being lonely in this game. I will be the first to admit that the reason I play MMORPGs is because I do not have a wide array of RL friends. I am not interested in loot, in killing, in questing, in exploring, or any of the other stupid things you people do in game. I am here to make friends, and so far I have none.

I check statistics, and there are thousands of people playing the game. Am I so distasteful that even in a game people won't talk to me? I chose a very normal looking character, so I would fit in. Games don't let people see the physical you, and I was hoping that was all that kept people from making friends with me IRL. But now, what you people are telling me is that even when I look the same as everyone else, I'm not worth hanging out with.

And don't give me the 'everyone goes through that' excuse. I've heard enough of that growing up. Everyone doesn't go through it. I see sometimes men and women together questing and laughing and emoting. If I follow them saying things, suddenly the mood darkens and they either ignore me or leave. BR>
I'm sorry if I sound bitter, but you can see where I'm coming from. This is a social game. If anyone is interested in being my friend, and doesn't mind letting me be in charge of what we do in game, please tell me which realm you play on and I'll gladly redo all the time spent levelling this one.

You sound kind of like a control freak to me. I guess you can come play with me if you want, but don't expect a fabulous time.

It might help if you actually were here to enjoy the things in game. People flock together using common interest. Most people here are here to improve their character's standing in the world. If you're not interested in that, well... I doubt many people will want to hang around you.

You have no idea how good it is to have someone actually talk back to me.

I understand by now that yes I might have problems but I'm willing to work on it. This will be great, I'm willing to work on it together with you. I know you might have problems, and we can overcome anything together. Will you also make another character my level so that we can do things together? Or what is your phone number we can coordinate? Let's get this started, I have free time now.

Negative. You will have to find out this information on your own. Judging by your OP, you don't seem very pleasant an individual. If you want it, you will have to put forth some effort.

I hear you. I've been there so many times before.

Somehow, if we dont swing in rl, we basically dont swing here.

I bet you have a ton of alts, yes?

The really nice thing about WoW or any mmorpg is... if it doesnt work out you start an alt. LOL. You cant repeat life, but you CAN repeat WoW.

I'm very happy to find a good guild. It makes all the difference.
You no take candle!

You're an odd one...

I mean, if you were saying you had a hard time approaching, say, elitists I could understand. But to have a problem making friends in this game, as a whole?

I could just add to a lame joke cracked by some random stranger in General chat and I would've already made an acquaintance. Or were you looking for a bunch of good, trustworthy friends who'd stick with you no matter what?

People who interact with others do best by not caring what others think of them...to an extent. You're just taking it way too far.

Do you think people care what your character looks like in a game where you can play as gnomes, minotaurs, or flesh-lacking undead humans? No. They care about three things:

1) Your personality

2) Your class

3) How often you're around for them

From what I see, you're:

-Level 14(New to the game still. People usually don't even bother partying until level 20 or so)

-A rogue(One of the least needed classes in the game for parties)


I know this sounds harsh, but come on. Looks? WoW humans look like they've been taking steroids since creation. Everyone who sees you knows that's not what you look like underneath, and honestly they probably don't care what you look like. Don't assume people are so shallow!

And don't try and make people feel sorry for you, either!

I'm really not sure if this is a troll post or not, but on the offshot chance it isn't, I play Mal'Ganis horde and I alt a lot. Drop me a line if you're ever on the server and we'll see whats up.

This may sound a bit odd considering i'm in a guild with about 500 people, but I never fit in socailly IRL when I was in highschool and always wanted someone to jsut acknowledge I exsisted. If you aren't trolling, drop me a line on mal'ganis. If you are, you managed to do something unique, you pulled me in. Grats 10/10.

At any rate, I'm 60 on this char, but I've got a few (about 6) alts that could group with you as you level on Mal'Ganis horde if you really are lonely and just want peopel to hang with.

Oh yeah fine. Just what I expected from a bunch of nobodies. Everyone got their own ideas and contributions on how to be popular, but chances are you've not spent your whole damn life alone.

Sure what I look like doesn't matter. I could be any size, shape or form under the planet and people will accept me for who I am. Please. Tell me another one. I'm not that stupid anymore.

Listen Mysidia do you want to be my friend or not? I'm sick of people pulling my leg. Oh yeah, join in on a joke and you've got a friend. What about if you are the joke all the time??

I'm just sick of being lonely. Even if it's through pity, someone tell me where they are so I can come and level up with them. I give orders, but it's all in good fun I feel.

Like I said, I'm on Mal'Ganis. As to the giving orders thing, I'm pretty laid back about that as long as theres respect and chain of command. For example, if you're leading a group, order away. If you're in my guild and I'm an officer, sugguest away. There IS a differenct.

FYI if you ignore both these posts, trolling, but still a 10/10.

Maybe people dont want to 'hang' with you because your bossy- and have a complex that people should be your friend 'just because'....im sorry but if i just met you and you started barking orders and asking for my phone number i would /ignore you as well....=/ maybe you should just try an approach that is less overwhelming...like 'getting to know' somone instead of pushing yourself on them?

Ahh Hinter. So appropriate of you to barge into this thread.

Anyways, I really don't know if this is a troll thread or not. If it isn't, I'd say you kinda need help just from the way you've posted/replied to some of these posts. If the loneliness has driven you to this crazy state, then you still need help. Want a good way of making friends? Wait till a new server comes out, join a growing guild, instance with people that are leveling up, play the game alot so you can be there when people need you. For all I know the people I play with are blind/(I'd say mute but talk on vent alot so scratch that)/cripples/gnomes irl/etc etc. Do I care? Not really, they're friends. So as far as WoW is concerned, yes, no one cares what you look like irl.

Don't assume I'm ignorant, don't assume I'm a socialite, and don't assume I don't know exactly what's going on here.

You're just out for attention.

But, welcome to society. You've got to earn it here. And the best way to do that is to make people notice you through your actions, rather then your cries of desperation.

Everyone gets lonely. If you get more lonely then everyone else, it's because of your "feel sorry for me I got it the worst" attitude.

1) I've never been popular in my life. Girls never flocked to me in high school or $!@% like that. But dig this, I made A LOT of friends.

2) Pertaining to the joke part, I really see no reason why WoW's community would sideline you and crack jokes about YOU most of the time, unless you caused 5 end-game wipes every night or ninjad an epic that you have no use for etc.

3) You sound too bitter for your own good. Since that's the case, don't expect people to be sugar sweet to you? =\
