I want to keep playing.

But I seem to be unable to make close friends. Playing this game is depressing for that reason. I can't do it anymore. Some people just are forced to be alone. And as hard as I tried to prevent it..I'm one of them..

[AskaRay]

I'm sorry

I think making friends is part effort, but it's also part luck. I've made some very good friends in-game, but it was all based on luck that we met at all.

You're always welcome to hang out with us if you ever find yourself on Lich

[Zazriel]

Seriously? Dont give up!

Since we're playing on the same server feel free to get in touch if you want to run any group content together or just hang out or whatever. I'm sure you'd be welcome to see how you fit in with our small FC as well if you wanted.

Hey there, at one point I felt like you, don't think you're alone, cause you could probably be surrounded by great friends, enjoy the atmosphere also never let anyone get you down.

I actually find making friends fairly easy and this is my first MMO. I talk a lot--even little things go a long way.

I send a lot of friendly Tells (which is why I hope SE can figure out a way to stop RMT without needing to implement a Tell filter) ranging from name and glamour compliments to random things like "you must really like this area of Gridania--you're here all the time!"

Don't be surprised how far the conversation can go. I actually met my girlfriend two years ago by sending her a Tell saying "Luna is a very popular name on this server". Yes, an IRL relationship started from that simple Tell.

Just interact with people--with so little social activity going on in-game, they'll appreciate it.

That self-pitying attitude won't win you any friends.

Hey.

I've never done this on the forum before, but if you're looking for friends you're free to join my FC. It's a small, tight-knit, FC. No one is just a number. We are all friendly and accept anyone into our circle. You can also just hang on our TS if you don't want to join my FC. It's whatever. We also have a website that we post on every day. Sometimes we have events for funz. If you're shy, that's totally fine. You can just listen or tag along. We just enjoy hanging with people, joking around and stuff.

You aren't on my server though. If you did want to join my FC, you'd have to make a character on Gilgamesh, or transfer, unfortunately.

As harsh as this sounds, it's true.

I had one friend who spent most of his time talking to me pitying himself. It got very old after a while, and bothersome to talk with him.

The best thing to do when you're tired of people online is to keep to yourself until you're ready to deal with people again. People are going to be mean and whatnot, but seeking sympathy like this from everyone you can really isn't going to make people want to come to you. It's just going to make them think you have internal issues you need to settle and that being around you might not be the best idea. Even the best of friends won't usually want to be around someone who is prone to pitying themselves all the time, even though some may tolerate it.

I hate to say it, but this is the complete truth. It is the main reason so many people hate me on Odin and there's a very negative stigma surrounding me. And once this stigma is attached to you, it isn't going away no matter how good a person you become.
