well, thought id put my lil comment...
ive met a lot of people. as far as friends. eh i know a few i talk to on a daily basis and a few i say hi to when i see them around the world.. i try to be friend by tossin buffs and heals when i see that someone could use it. but i think i agree with luxx(clue), u really get to know a lot more people when u get in a guild.. as im 31 with both my chars, war/dru, i havent joined one. but instead of joining one of the top guilds i think ill aim for one of the smaller ones. try to help them get big in any way i can. figure u get to know people better in a smaller guild and as it gets bigger u get to know all the newer people as u go.
eh i think ive seen 2/3 the people who posted here in game though.. its a small world =)
