The real main reason to play these games, is the communication, and friendships you will build. A guild is quick to invite, but not too quick to help. Also you have to learn to branch out and ask for help, and such.

Having said that, that is why I play and continue to play. Also it is challenging, the dungeons not the quests, and exciting at time, again the dungeons not the quests.

If you can, set up a Skype or some sort of communication account, that is only for gaming and try that out.

Best of luck and happy adventuring.
