So you chat in /1 chat to what people are talking about. This does not seem to make friends.
I have grouped with people for quests and added them as friends, but dont see them again
Im not high enough for dungeons yet.
Im not in a guild. If i join a guild wont people have their preferred friends already?
The only way i see it is if i do stuff im uncomfortable with. Messaging people that i added to friends list and and ask them if they want to do a dungeon with me…or talk in discord.
I still have added no one in Classic yet, but I did have a few people remember me. Don’t know if that counts.
Sounds like educating a robot or alien on human interaction. Anyway, I can suggest making an impression. Give people a reason to remember you. For me, it was my mad skillz (I hope) in running dungeons.
Just chat in /s or /p while questing. Accept invites while you’re grinding. Add people who are nice after a dungeon run. It’s that easy. You’re overthinking it man. Just relax and talk about game stuff or other nerd fandoms. Youve already got one thing in common with everyone you see around you, the love of the game.
i not competent with discord but my bet is if you want to run stuff with people this is the way to go
i am trying to join a guild that uses it and i might have to get my kid to show me how it works
what level are you?
anyways- save friends after a successful dungeon run; save after a successful quest/in world experience; just get the numbers up and then when you want to a group for something look them up
When you group up with people, ask if anyone wants to stick together and finish more quests as a group.
If you’re interested in pvp, hang out at Crossroads/Org gates/Goldshire/SW gates and duel people… lots of interactions to be had there. Ignore the trash talking; there will be people who enjoy watching duels and taking part in them, and chatting about how good or bad they did afterwards. Plus, you can ask questions about other classes you’re curious about.
You’ll also have more opportunity to make friends when running dungeons, but people level at different rates, so you may run dungeons with the same people for a couple of days, then you’re all different levels so it kinda flatlines, but sometimes you end up with lasting friends from those runs.
Join a guild! Most guilds are full of people that don’t already know each other, and it’s a great way to get to know people. Sometimes it takes a little bit to feel comfortable in a new guild, and that’s ok. Give it a chance, chat in guild chat, ask if anyone wants to quest together or do dungeons… if people don’t want to, it’s nothing personal. Sometimes groups form, sometimes people are just doing their own thing.
Chatting in General chat while questing sometimes results in making friends. Right now I find the chat channels pretty spammy, but it’ll settle down.
There’s lots of ways to make friends, just put yourself out there and you’ll connect with people at some point.
The first thing to do is stop picking your nose in the corner of the auction house. No one likes a nose picker. Second pick up your chainmail pants when raiding , no one wants to see your butt cheeks dude , and third If you are going to bring Mana Biscuits to a party run make sure you bring enough for everyone. Nothing worse then being the kid at the lunch table with a slimy salami sandwich on wonder bread while the new kid has a bag of McDonalds just wafting the delicious smell of a all beef patty with pickles , special sauce, cheese & onions.
Well im on a pvp realm, Herod, and was in STV when I met a pally and we quested together and killed horde together. It was a lot of fun and I hope to see him again later
So far it’s been my experience that when someone pulls more than they can handle, don’t attempt to help them. I’ve had most of them thank me for the help, but the others told me to go f*ck myself. I guess they had a plan beyond their level? I dunno. In either case don’t get yourself involved. The subsequent bans won’t be helpful. Especially if you make a lot of money over the weekends.
I looked around on my server discord for a guild that sounded like a good match and then reached out to them. Total noob, messaged in the wrong chat, whatever. I joined, we’re getting to know one another.
If you want the longer term relationships you seem to be looking for, join a guild. You will find that most guilds have many new players, and are actively interested in recruiting new players.
Post your character and server name, and you will probably get an invite right here form the forums, to be honest. For example, if you were on my server I would invite you to my guild, which is a nice bunch of people.
Honestly, and this is a message for the OP of course, the only barrier to making friends is you. You may have to go out of your comfort zone slightly, but if you make the effort you will easily make friends.
I’ve met some great people so far, and had some really good short-lived groups. But I haven’t added anyone to my friends list either. I’m just a bit funny about that for some reason. Even if I ask if I can add someone to my list, I feel way too self-conscious to hit them up later. Also, I’m a slow leveler, so I always assume everyone is way past me by the time I would attempt to reach out to anyone again.
personally, I refuse to use discord. I just have no desire to speak or hear others speaking in game. It’s the reason I haven’t tried to join a guild yet. If I can find a guild that doesn’t require, or even prefers not to use voice coms in any way, I’d probably be all over it.
You don’t make friends anymore. Obviously you buy gold to buy gear and then play with people you don’t know because gold is all that matters now. Have fun in wrath
whatever you do you’re going to want to avoid pvp west classic era servers. these toxic idiots will do everything they can to make your gaming experience as horrible as possible. low population of elitists who farm the game like full time working losers. you’re invited to that or nothing
