As one or two people have pointed out, MMOs are multiplayer by their very definition — and massively so. Yet even if you’re in a large crowd, you can still feel very alone. I was reading a post by a blogger in which he was expressing how lonesome he often felt in-game and frustrated by not being able to combat that.
Sometimes I do feel a little alone in a game, especially if I’m not part of a guild, but more often than not gamers waiting to talk and group are right at my fingertips. Even seeing another player run by or lend a quick hand in a fight makes me feel like I’ve had a dose of companionship.
Do you feel alone in your games? Are you looking for advice how to get out of that rut?
