Fell in love with wow 2-3 weeks ago and i have been playing almost non stop, can only complain about that i only know 1-3 people who play. I want to make friends on wow that i can play seriously with but at the same time have a laugh and grow as players, but most importantly plays as much as me xD
What are your experiences with IG wow friends? If it sounds like something you would want to do and can handle a bit of a noob let me know <3
hi there Andolf, glad you like the game 
! In all my years playing i made a few friends along the way. One friend in met in Nagrand during TBC is still someone i speak with. We even went to his irl wedding years ago.
Sadly some online friends i’ve met died some years ago. One of them a fellow druid i met during vanilla, he was the best boomkin i’ve ever met. luckily i had the chance to meet him irl as well.
It is nice to be able to log on and see some familiar people online and have a chat or do some quest/dungeons/pvp with. One thing that can help making friends is join an active social guild.
I’ve found that making aquaintances in wow is quite easy, but keeping and working on this new connection so they eventually turn into friends comes hard for me.
Welcome to the game!
Personally, I still speak to people I’ve met ingame 10 years ago. Sadly, alot of my ingame friends stopped playing a while ago, with some battlenet friends being offline for +8 years, but hey that’s life.
Honestly is nice have friends but is quite easy to get them but harder is to keep a relationship going to get know those people and do some content with them.
Sometimes you just don´t know how to connect with people on better lvl and sometimes you are greatful that you have friendship with someone who is with you for five years even after those years you are still going LOL
none of my friends from other platforms are interested in wow & the friendships ive made in wow have just wilted & died.
its not easy to keep friendships, since it takes effort from both parties
Best way is just talk to people and sort the chaff from the wheat.
Or do what I do
Pay them. And if they are still stubborn. Drug them. For really stubborn people.
A bullet and a tank full of formaldehyde.
I find a guild.
What is in game friends ? I thought wow was a single player game
truly the best way of making friends, until you run out of room in your basement 
Honestly in wow you have same interest and atlast one more similar as they do… but how to hell you want find friends out there ?? 
10+ years playing this game, haven’t made one friend and I doubt you can find someone that played as long as I have and had more fun over that period of time.
It’s a game, the second you stop treating it as such is the beginning of the end and you will eventually quit.
I have atleast 8 friends i play with daily and i started in legion
Ye you do get people often thats just like adds fren Never interact unless they need a tank cuz long que
If you want to make friends in WoW, you have to put in a 120 % effort to always sustain contact with them, because people have been conditioned to not really find contact necessary, even if they enjoy it. Only then, there’s a chance they’ll like you and want to pay you back with more interaction, but with their initiative.
The issue with WoW is that very little content in the game requires live communication; even for preparation. The people you play with might as well be NPC’s.
Try Mythic+ at endgame or arena games for PvP if you like that. Those things benefit greatly from communication and communication is the foundation of friendship after all.
Find a social guild that just play for fun and are just there to talk and make friends
Yes, that is life… even friends irl evolve into different directions and stop talking to each other unless they are really tight
Best thing you can do is float around guilds abit. Find one that’s the perfect fit for you. Don’t just join any old guild permanently, find one where you really click.
Like in classic I’ve found a really good guild. Constantly talking in game and on discord over the last 3 months. A few of them live local to me, so we’ll have a nightout some point over xmas.
It used to be a lot easier for me to make friends in wow. I used to do guildraids which increased social interaction and I don’t do those anymore. I also tend to take a small break after each month I sub which doesn’t make it easy to maintain friendships. I do have one friend I have been talking to for several years. We usually talk on Facebook when one of us doesn’t have a sub.
How are we not in the same guild yet queen?
