I met a guy in a private server (that still counts as wow right?) where I always told him to go retail, and he did!, on a different server though and this was back in wrath, we still did some tricks to dungeon together, now with cross realm parties we just keep goofing around and doing old raids
I met my beautiful girlfriend in WoW. Ive known her for over two years now and we have been dating almost 7 months. She lives in Canada and I live in upstate NY. I am currently living with her and then we are moving back down to the states for a little bit. I would've applied to be on the show but I of course web-cammed her long before we met and we built a relationship in that manner. We now have our own level 25 guild and play often. We love raiding and progressing end game content together as highly geared characters for our server.
I just joined a new guild with great people, would apply if it wasn't for the fact that I just joined. But my hope is this is the start of many friendships and doesn't turn into a drama filled reality show.
Aww the idea is adorable!After some months without playing due to college, the guild I was in died. While seeking for a new guild to help, I met a very gentle guy who was just starting one. I was the first lvl 90 there and I helped him with his character and guild. Today we have a great friendship :)Unfortunately we couldn't met out of the game yet due to the distance of our countries. Guild only start chatting and get excited to any activities when he becomes online. There are a few days that I can't find him to chat. I miss him a little :p
I came across a pair of two draeneis in Zangarmarsh back in 2009, we were both going to solo the Dungeons from that zone and decided to cooperate. We started getting along, and in time realised we came from the same country, spoke the same language. We found to have a lot in common. We played the whole evening until they both decided to sleep. We added each other as friends, logged out, and expected nothing else. We are still playing together to this day (although in separate guilds). I still have not met them in real life, even though I know their names and they know my name. But I feel like that's not neccessary, we get along just fine.
2 of my best friends are online friends and i consider them one of my closest friends :)
I have no friendships that started in WoW, though I do play with a friend that moved away, and WoW is how we mainly stay in touch… can I still win a skyreaver? :/
My guild has always been quite open about real life, and we always put our real names in the guild note. When it comes to actually meeting them in real life; some of them have, some haven't.In my own case, since I'm quite a shy person I've only met the guild leader (and her husband that she met in wow!) which was a few months ago. And even though I've only met 2 of my guildmates I still consider every one of them great friends and I'm grateful for having met them all in Azeroth!
We had a guildmate that really left a mark on all of us about 3 years ago. We are almost all local friends in our guild, some of us gaming together for over a decade. We had very few people in our guild that we did not know outside of real life. One exception was Darkryder, who was as friendly a person as could be. He was willing to help anyone at any time, and being part of the close nit group he would talk with us on vent and we all got to know him like a good family friend. He was always helping his family out and absolutely adored his sister's kids. He had served overseas, done his time in the military, and worked hard at enjoying life. He was going in for a checkup and the doctor told him he had liver cancer, and that it was so far advanced that they should have caught it earlier, and gave him a couple months to live. Dark talked with us at length about what was going on and then we didnt hear from him for a couple weeks. His mother messaged my wife who plays about the bad news. She wanted to thank us for all the good times we had shared with him and wanted to let us know how he felt about us and what an impact we made and how we were friends even though we had never met face to face. Darkryder, always you will be remembered and I donate to the American Cancer Society in your name anytime I can.
Unfortunately the best friend that I had in wow back in BC doesn't seem to play any more. We were both in the guild Damage on Anvilmar and did a ton of arena together even though hunter/warlock wasn't a very good comp. We learned to play the comp very well together and broke 2k rating briefly. When I joined another guild and transferred to another server, we lost touch and he eventually quit playing.
When I started playing WoW, me, my boyfriend and a friend from the internet decided to create a Lithuanian guild.It all evolved into a community of Lithuanians, a raiding guild and IRL friendships :)
I met a guy in WotLK who was pugging ICC with our guildteam. He was a retri pala called Eviseration and because I was a fury warrior we were always duking it out to see who could get the highest dps. We were often talking about fights and basic wow stuff. After WotLK, Cata came out and he got himself a mic and we talked through vent for arenas and raiding, after a lot of raids( and wipes lol) Firelands came out and we added each other on skype for better communication during the raid. Our entire raid team was composed of people we knew in real life (excluding Evis). We've known each other for 5 years now and he is part of the family even though we still call him Evis sometimes instead of Anton. We even planned to visit him in the holidays in Scotland (Guild trip haha). It's strange how a random guy in trade chat can turn into one of your best friends. Anton if you read this, Our lives wouldn't be the same without you, much love :D
A hunter and I became close friends after I joined his guild. He's very social and I was a bit shy, but the more we talked the more it hit off. We always talk about relationships, school, and life. Doesn't even feel like we're in different states.
The only person from WoW that I 've ever "connected with" in any small way is one of my guildies. I was talking in Vent chat one time about how this tornado suddenly ripped through the center of downtown Atlanta in like 2010, and one of my guildies was like "Wait, I was there when that happened, too. What college did you go to?" And we realized that at that point in time, I was a senior and he was a grad student at the same college (GT). He lives on the south side of the city now, but I haven't actually driven to meet him.
I've met my boyfriend of 2 years on WoW. He came to my weekly ICC pug, ended up joining my guild and we became friends, but we're both introverted and we didn't talk too often. Then one day, in a really boring Throne of the Four Winds HC run we were both in, we just started talking and... We never stopped. :p He's easily the best thing that has ever happened to me and I'm super lucky to have him in my life.
awesome
Well, it certainly is a friendship! But it's much more than that. I met my current fiance in WoW about 8 years ago. We met for real in april 2007, and realized that our feelings were much more than just an online flirt! In january 2008 he moved from Holland to Norway to live with me, and we now have 2 kids together and a great relationship. We also still play WoW, just a bit less than before! Thank you Blizzard! ;)
More than six months ago I met an amazing person through World of Warcraft. After only chatting with this friend for a few hours I realized they liked to do the same things as I liked to do (Achievements)! We clicked! and became inseparable! Each day was an adventure to seek out new achievements and to accomplish them. In good times and in bad, they stuck with me and helped me do achievements that I thought were impossible in my mind. We both pushed each other to share feelings about anything that was bothering us, whether it was in World of Warcraft, or in real life. No matter how bad the stories we told to each other, we stuck together and played countless hours in Azeroth. To this day they we are still devoted to helping each other achieve our goals in World of Warcraft and are bestest of friends. Hopefully we will be friends for life and never stop talking to each other, no matter where life takes us.
Back in wotlk, I met this really cool fella. He's been playing very on and off, but he's coming back in WoD. In MoP, we started raiding together again and did some pretty ok progress, even though we had massive roster issues (went 8/16 hc, but could've been about 14 if it weren't for the unreliable players we often had).Nevertheless, it was my single best time in wow, so far, playing in that guild.
i started wow when i finished high school back in wrath of the lich king, and i met a player while i was leveling, he asked me if i wanted to join his guild, and in that guild i met 6 good friends , and i'm still playing with all of them , no matter what, we changed alot of guild , but we never split up ^^
