Lonely and sick of it!

There is no excuse for me being lonely in this game. I will be the first to admit that the reason I play MMORPGs is because I do not have a wide array of RL friends. I am not interested in loot, in killing, in questing, in exploring, or any of the other stupid things you people do in game. I am here to make friends, and so far I have none.
I check statistics, and there are thousands of people playing the game. Am I so distasteful that even in a game people won't talk to me? I chose a very normal looking character, so I would fit in. Games don't let people see the physical you, and I was hoping that was all that kept people from making friends with me IRL. But now, what you people are telling me is that even when I look the same as everyone else, I'm not worth hanging out with.
And don't give me the 'everyone goes through that' excuse. I've heard enough of that growing up. Everyone doesn't go through it. I see sometimes men and women together questing and laughing and emoting. If I follow them saying things, suddenly the mood darkens and they either ignore me or leave. BR>
I'm sorry if I sound bitter, but you can see where I'm coming from. This is a social game. If anyone is interested in being my friend, and doesn't mind letting me be in charge of what we do in game, please tell me which server you play on and I'll gladly redo all the time spent leveling this one.

Fact of the matter is, no one really interacts below level 20 or so. people are even more wary of total strangers trying to jump in their conversation (especially at lower levels)
Also something to note: PWI is basically a solo game until you hit about level 20 or so, and that's when you get to go to the main city Archosaur. There you'll find quests that almost always require you to be in a squad, or people will become more friendly.
Don't get too disheartened, we all had our lonely days, and it'll clear up
Also: this game is alot like High School so think of yourself as freshman at the moment if that makes you feel better. As you level you'll become more and more wanted especially being a Sin on Lost City.
Worst case pm me and I'll talk to you

You have no idea how good it is to have someone actually talk back to me.
I understand by now that yes I might have problems but I'm willing to work on it. This will be great, I'm willing to work on it together with you. I know you might have problems, and we can overcome anything together. Will you also make another character my level so that we can do things together? Or what is your phone number we can coordinate? Let's get this started, I have free time now.0 -

I found this a very lonely game until I found the right faction. Now I have friends from all over the globe (mind you, it took a couple of factions to hit the right one). And in all honesty, if my faction were to break up I don't think I would remain playing. The social aspect is half the fun of the game and on quieter days I do enjoy it less. So I see where you are coming from.
Unfortunately you are not on the same server, or I would toss out the offer about you possibly joining us.
But I wish you good luck. [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Yeah, when people go on about their own sad lonely life and go and thank the first random guy who talks back to them because it makes them feel -oh so- good, you can start wondering about trolling.
Also, when that same person starts asking for phone numbers and says they both can "overcome their issues if they work together", well that's pretty much a green light.

I hope you understand this; A game at the end, is a game. No matter how much time you put into it, how nice you are, how great of a person you are; people don't care as long as you don't benefit them. Friends are ultimately there to give you benefits, realistically speaking. If a friend is useless why would you be friends with them?
In real life, friends can be there for you to help you, to accompany you, to make you feel liked/loved. They don't need to have any level, any armor, any skills or be any class to be useful to you. However, this IS a game. It all ends where people only want to be friends with you realistically because you benefit them in game. If you don't benefit them in any kind of way, why be friends with you? Your level isn't high, you don't have good armor or weaponary, you probably don't even suit their taste of class. Most people's friend list are either filled with barbs, clerics, or sins. Rarely you see anymore, that a friend be in your list that you talk with that's useless to you other than being chatty. This at the end, again, is a game, not a chat room.
I advice you to actually make real life friends, or go on chat rooms online instead of games. Gaming can actually even shut u out even more with real life people. Soon you'd feel if not already, very awkward to even see humans. This is coming from someone that's been shut out for 6 years..
I hate to repeat myself but I do have a point here.
THIS IS A GAME. IF YOU DON'T BENEFIT PEOPLE, ITS UNLIKELY FOR YOU TO MAKE ANY FRIENDS HERE. b:cryb:surrender[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
I agree with the poster above me.
Friends usually have common interests, so if you have no interest in gearing up/leveling up, then you're already at a disadvantage when trying to make friends in an mmo. The guy above me is right, go to a standard chat room (instead of playing an mmo), which is what other people who simply want to talk would do.0 -
I had a couple of friends that I started the game with, but they've all gone now...I made other firm friends through people I've met along the way, helping others, in my 50s+, and in factions.Katzyn, level 101 Demon Veno

Reason i think this may be a troll is the fact that, her last thread was pretty stupid to begin with, also the fact that your level 1 makes me think, how could your last thread of been real or that you've made any effort to even play the game, if you want to just talk and ****, go find a chat network/game like...idk, IMVU?
also as someone already said, this does look a bit to desperate to believe, especially asking for some guys phone number after he responded to you once
if this is legit, get to level 40, that's when the real squading begins and it shouldn't take more then a weeks worth of playing time.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Hi, If you have no interest in killing, questing, exploring, or any of the other stupid things we do here......... you may not be in the right place.
When you do make a friend, why do you have to be in charge? So you can make sure no killing, questing, exploring or other stupid things go on?
You may want to try facebook or another social site that doesn't involve "playing a game" Good luck to you if your serious, hahaha good one, if your not lol. b:bye0 -
ok so
1- if this is a troll its good, I'd go 5/10 because it picks something I'm sure most of us had gone through at some point but is rare enough on the forum that its not "that thread again".
2- if its not a troll then my real advice is to lvl and start caring about questing and what not because until around 20 this is mostly a solo game and 19-20 is your first chance to get peopl together in your squad for your FB19. The FB19 is the first place you have of making any connections and definetly find your self a guild, once you find the right one things should be more fun. You really could make the first 30 lvls in one day if you have nothing better to do and things will open up for you more once you go whitenamed. Then again you'll also get PK'd a lot because at 30 you're PKer bait but hey at least you'll be meating new people.

Shut your pipe hole if you know any better. There are always people who wants to enjoy the game and make friends, and face hardship. I'm sure everyone had faced hardship, including yourself. This is only one kind (The grinding 380k DQ points ****) a lower level will face. I've done that for many levels on different characters, even farming one OIL for crafting. Those were the old days of gameplay where the economy wasn't as screwed like today, and where leveling to 79 took a whole year if you did everything else at the same time (not just plain leveling).
People who still grind for money are NOT losers. They got my credit and admiration for having that much patience that I've lost long ago to do so. Some people like doing the grind to gain something, not just pay money for it. "Why pay for things you get for free, but just with some effort?" is what my in-game poppa told me and that I remember very well; and so I farm. Just because you have money to buy everything, does NOT mean you'll get the same feeling of success as you will if you farmed every single mat out with your own hands. People should consider using and spending their money wisely. The armor that you make would have meaning to it. This is the only reason why there are many rich people in real life aren't always happy, because money cannot buy everything.
Stop being ignorant/arrogant and stand in THEIR shoes. If you can't, then obviously you don't have a heart for people.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

Oh yeah fine.Everyone got their own ideas and contributions on how to be popular, but chances are you've not spent your whole damn life alone.
Sure what I look like doesn't matter. I could be any size, shape or form under the planet and people will accept me for who I am. Please. Tell me another one. I'm not that stupid anymore.
Listen Barb do you want to be my friend or not? I'm sick of people pulling my leg. Oh yeah, join in on a joke and you've got a friend. What about if you are the joke all the time??
I'm just sick of being lonely. Even if it's through pity, someone tell me where they are so I can come and level up with them. I give orders, but it's all in good fun I feel.

I seriously do not understand why people are claiming that this thread (or her previous one) constitutes as trolling? Perhaps there is a misunderstanding around the definition of "trolling". Since I do not know this individual personally, I can not attest to her motives, but the only genuine trolling I see so far has been generated by those posting replies.
Her previous thread can be interpreted simply as a "new" player who understandably is not aware of the game dynamics, and who, consequently, is being "played" by a jerk for her share of the drops. As for this thread, without any insider information about her motives, I do not see any reason to doubt that this thread was made with a genuine intent to express her frustration, and ardent desire to meet people. If this is not the case, then she has only herself to account for her actions.
So, until someone has evidence to the contrary, I will assume the sincerity of her thoughts, and wish Pinkygirlsin all the best in finding some good people to play this game with.
This can indeed be a very lonely game but in the interest of finding some friends, I would also suggest, as others have, that you change to a PVE server where you will more likely have greater success finding friendly people who are more interested in socializing and helping others. Some good ways of meeting people is to join a faction or to frequent areas of the game like Plume City which are known hangouts for players to do nothing but socialize, dual, flirt, and chill-out. All the best to you Pinkygirlsin.0
