I’ve mentioned before that my most stalwart MMO partner is my wife, who has stuck by me through thick and thin. When we move into a new game together, well, we’re in it together because we’ve been friends much longer than we’ve been playing MMOs together. On the other hand, our other constant companion and close real-life friend was someone we met after playing games together. So we both make friends in the game and bring them in from out of the game.
Some people don’t have a whole lot of real-life friends to bring into the game; others have so many that they need never deal with strangers. How do you do stuff? Do you tend to bring your friends with you into the game, or do you make friends in the game that you bring into your real life?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
