I have meet a bunch of people from all places, around the world and from the united states, wow has expanded they way we relate to people, trough hardships and prevails, over raids, quests or arenas, wow its responsible for great friendships, relationships, marriages, even children. I think when blizzard launched wow back in 2006, they never imagine what has became now.And for that, i say well done!
When I first started raiding, I joined a 10m group as a rogue. I was told up front that the guild master was a rogue so he'd get gear priority over myself. I had no problem with that as I was just excited to join a group and raid for the first time. It turns out that the other rogue was super awesome and we fought neck and neck for 1st and 2nd place on the dps charts. After a while we started doing stuff together outside of raiding like old dungeons. We did KT together and even had ashes drop. Even though I lost the roll, he knew how badly I wanted that mount so he gave it to me. Sadly he no longer plays, but every time I see that mount I'm reminded of how much fun I had with him.
Throughout the five years I have been playing WoW I have met many people. It started when my then-boyfriend, now-husband was deployed and spending every spare minute he could on WoW. It started as a way for us to spend time together when we weren't on the webcam or phone. It brought us closer together, even though I swore I would never in a million years play. Our guild started on Jaedenar and has spanned from there to Altar of Storms to Alterac Mountains. Over the years we have grown from a rag-tag group of oddballs to best friends with a RL Guild Barbeque in the near future. My husband and I have spent countless nights doing drunken battlegrounds, drunken xmog run, laughing and having great memories with our guildies over vent. I wouldn't change that for the world. Through the stress of dead servers, many raid wipes and face pulling we have come a long way. Two of our guildies even met on WoW and are planning a wedding this coming summer! World of Warcraft has made meeting friends/lovers/life mates on the internet and made it far less taboo. It is a place to meet great friends and grow families. I am eternally grateful to WoW for bringing all of my friends and family members together. <3
i made an enemy!
Been playing wow now on and of from the beginning.Most of the years it been casual with my cousin,He changed server and after a break from wow he asked me to start a Druid and then it was on again just before wrath of the lich king realese.After monthes of raiding with them we started to talk more and more on ventrilo then we found out that two of them we been raiding with where from Sweden also, weeks of talking hand hanging out in game I did ask where they lived and it wasn't to far away so the same evening I jumped on the train and went to them for a weekend and drank some beer laughing and playing. Now some years later we still have contact summer times we go for a trip with the bikes, they came to wist me when my daughter where born and when the time is there we take a weekend to talk and have a nice time. He doesn't play anymore but I do when I got time after work and hanging out with my wife and kid.This is my world of Warcraft story and the one I will never forget! Have a nice day every player out there and who knows you might also find a good friend like I did :)
I met my friend's brother for the first time on-line in WoW. We all grouped to run a few dungeons. He's a fun guy and I've since enjoyed hanging out with him IRL.
My friend introduced me to wow to run dungeons. Then I met other people through our guild which Now have become a guild family. We're full of fun and laughs and have a great time playing WoW.
This one comes from open beta, back in the days. I remember when I was a noob druid in Teldrassil getting lost everywhere when a hunter came and helped me. We started questing together and basically getting amazed by the game at all levels, and soon a good friendship started. Sadly, when beta when down and retail hit the shelves, we noticed that people from the US and Europe couldn't play together, so we just kept in contact by e-mail and such, but never again we adventured together...
I never made a relationship that led to a real life meetup, but I have had many friends over the years in Wow that I would consider true friends if we ever did meet up in real life.
This seeks like its gonna be a really interesting idea
Pretty much all of my Twitter Buddies came about via WoW, although not from directly within the game itself.
Me and Jake, RP. A lot.
My friends are noobs.
I've met a lot of great friends in the game over the years, but unfortunately none of them have ever lived close to me. It would definitely be interesting to finally meet some of them in person.
My best ever friendship started back in BC, I met a warlock once called oionos! he was a great greek guy, I took like 1 year break from WoW & then came back to it to find out that he sold his account :( he was really really a generous helpful person :)

I've been friends with some of my guildies for more than 4 years now, some from different countries, which sucks cause I would love to meet them, some from my country, and I do almost everything with them, we hang on skype all day, and we do a monthly meeting, where we play games, watch e-sports and do all kinds of silly stuff. I'm really thankful to WoW for all the friends I've made.I even met my current gf in WoW, i was her RL, and she hated my guts because I was (and i am) a pretty harsh leader, but one day, after we were done raiding, for a reason i don't remember, we both stayed in the raid (i think it was ICC) and started hanging out and chatting there. She then realized I was not such a bad guy, and we started an awesome friendship, which became into the amazing relationship we now have (we are currently living together). And we owe (for reasons i wont say hehe) all of it to this little guy Sleepy Willy, who made her see my silly side. So thanks Willy and thanks WoW, I owe you a ton of good friends and the love of my life.
My guilds pally tank Anaan, is probably one of the greatest guys I've had the pleasure of meeting in real life or WoW. I'm actually sad to say this his last week of raiding for a few months because he'll be working on his Master's Thesis. We're really proud of him, but I'm going to miss discussing philosophy, government, religion, and any number of other things with him. He'll be hard to replace as a tank, but he's irreplaceable as a friend.I wish him the best of luck.
I met my girlfriend on WoW, back in BC. Plus a lot of other great friends along the way.
