What are your guys’ experiences with meeting people in WoW?
Quite lonely atm and I dunno how to really make friends during these times except online.
Not great. Rather it be natural, like a wild WoW player has appeared! Tends to be less disappointing and not as weird.

If you have at least one kidney and wouldn’t call the police if you woke up in an ice bath, I’d love to meet you.

I’ve met my guild on several occasions and don’t regret it one bit. They’re a great bunch of people and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with them.

Depends do you mean meeting new players in game or meeting wow players in real life. In game it’s not to bad. See people needing help with quest, group up and just be nice. In real life? It’s 2020 and people are nuts. Haha
The latter. Just some e-friends 
Option one, guilds. Can take awhile to find the “right” one, but finding them can be oh so worth it.
Option two, meeting random people while playing. Honestly, the game is pretty horrible for this now. If you play classic, then it’s definitely more of an option there. For all the conveniences of modern WoW, it has dumpstered the social aspect that used to exist.

darn sorry to hear that!
i just meant online friends though. the odds of me finding someone who lives in the same area in real life is probably unlikely.

Most of my wow friends I’ve met through questing or within a guild. Granted guilds arent what they used to be but shop around, there are still some good active guilds around. Nothing worse than joining some random guild with 100 people online but see nothing but crickets in guild chat. Those I /gquit pretty quick

My experiences have been pretty decent.
Can relate. If you’d like, you can add me with my btag and we could hang out and be friends.

Oh I thought you meant real life meeting haha my whole old guild broke up after people met up irl 
but in the game is not so bad. I think I’ve met the most friends from guilds. Just put yourself out there, ask if somebody wants to do dungeons with ya or something! People are pretty cool online in game.

It’s fine I’m better off without her she was doing nothing but making me sad I couldn’t allow myself to keep feeling sad neglected and replaced so I had to do what was best for me she also did it to another one of our friends he had already left her she just didn’t learn anything from 2 friends already dumping her I haven’t heard anything from her since but maybe losing a 3rd friend that was friends with her for 9 years may open her eyes. (Which I don’t think it did) But I had no choice. She was hurting me. I am feeling better now to.

I’ve been in a really good guild since WoD . Some of our members have actually gotten together in real life for guild trips.

no its cool, in the original OP it was phrased like that.
I’m quite an introverted lone wolf too, just prefer being by myself but as of late I’m starting to feel the need to be social. my programming is trying to become human for some reason.

Hi Lolorc,
Many of my best friends have been met online.
I have had a lot of trouble making friends in the past, and I know how difficult WoW is without them!
I personally have a few decent ways of meeting new people.
First, dungeons. Dungeons are a fantastic way to meet people. Just throw a little “hi, how are you?” in the chat and sometimes you find a talkative soul who will stick with you through several dungeons then want to add you later on!
Second, I like to help random people on my server - whether that be through a guild or just keeping a keen eye on chat for somebody seeking assistance. I have met some great friends just by helping them achieve something on an alt!
Lastly, try out a guild! I have found it best to join smaller guilds and become friends with the few souls in them. Not to disparage larger guilds, I just have not had luck meeting people in overpopulated guilds.
If you find somebody you enjoy playing with, never feel afraid to ask them if you can add them and play some more! I add a ton of people on b-net and just purge it now and then when I haven’t spoken to somebody in a long while.

Is nice people on classic really a thing? Every guild I’ve joined is full of either kids who never played earlier expansions or grumpy people who spend all day regurgitating 4chan opinions on why retail and retail players suck.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t joined a raiding guilds, I don’t know.
