Skeptical that most of us really have friends, and we aren't all just muddling through our lives with a BG pressure release valve.
I've met a lot of BGers bruv. You gotta speak for yourself on that one.
AoE is one of the chillest people to hang out with I've ever met.

All my friends are ppl I've met online it rules.
Am I the only one with real friends I didn't meet in an mmo? Now I feel cheated. Think I only met 4 of my LS mates irl.
I've got the double whammy of being a leftist in 70% right-wing Ohio and a nerd among rednecks. Fleshy friends is hard mode, especially without stuff like cyber cafes or arcades to serve as hang out points. Can't even think of local places outside of Walmart or Gamestop that'd sell stuff related to anime, either.
I've met maybe 5 or 6 people from BG or FFXI IRL, don't consider any of them real friends. My IRL friends are a couple people from HS, a couple people from grad school, and a couple people from my old wine club, basically.
But I don't see any of them more often than once every couple months tops - parenting and moving to a "good school suburb" has been quite isolating socially. BG and Twitter and podcasts are genuinely quite useful at filling the void though!
my ffxi friends are my friends for life, i love them niggas like u wouldn't believe
i only infrequently talk to 2-3 people i played ffxi with....i talk to about 5 or 6 BG people all the time, some of them for 10+ years...theyre the real bros
i got too many friends and i am a people pleaser, bg is my vent to be rude and callous
