A few years too late Catfish!I met the first person I fell in love with on WoW when I was younger, moved countries to be with him. We were together for 4 years and were engaged for a while before splitting up. It was a great experience and we occasionally still talk. Who knows what will happen in the future, your first love is a strong one.Good luck nev and max on your UK series.
Catfish sound interesting although I wouldn't apply, I might watch because there might be some interesting stories out there.During the time that I have played I have met some friends. One of them I met during some questing when I saw in general chat that 2 ppl were looking for a third person for a group quest. Well I had that quest in my journal and I gave them a whisper. We did the quest and after that one of the guys left. Then I and the other guy did the rest of the quests in the zone togheter, we started to talk and it turned out that we both lived in Scandenavia so we started to write in our own languages instead which at the time was easier than writing in English. A friendship developed and we had fun togheter questing and doing dungeons for 2 years. Then he had to quit WoW for personal reasons and after that we havn't talked so much. I have changed realm and none of us had Skype or anything similar.
Met a buddy in a pvp guild during vanilla wow. We have been playing together ever since. Not too sure about Catfish though.
Can't tell a story love, but a friendship story.I met my mates when I moved to a new realm to get some roleplay. I wanted to test it, and I actually did enjoy it. Anyway, the very first day I joined the server I was quite lonely. Two players asked me if I was new and offered to teach me how to RP.Since then, we've been adventuring together on non-stop. We've also raid together and made some PvP!Since then, I've met more people in the server, and some of them came out to be living in the city next to my town! Now we're quite great buddies :)If I could take a WoW item to real live that would involve them... I think it would be the B. F. F. Necklace. Anoying to the end, but with a great meaning.
Ive had a couple great friendships that have bloomed from wow. A couple that stick out the most would be (My best friend now) Elijah the rogue of Aggramar a human female rogue i met in wow back in vanilla when working on BWL progression and since then weve met in real life. Been to 2 blizzcons together and even lived together for a short time when i had to move across the country (Her family being nice enough to let me live with them). The friendship has shared many tears and cheers and is still super strong to this day.Heres to you, You silly Human Rogue Elijah.Also, My dwarf still has that weird hole on his back :P
Many friends I've made in WoW over the years have married someone they met playing WoW. And every one of them are still together.
all my friends I met on wow...kinda sad, kinda AWESOME.
I have some really good WoW friends, that have become part of my best offline friends too. One I met perchance when I helped him out in Vash'jir, we spoke a little then, quested together for a day or two and a year went by before we met in-game again. This time it was his priest and I on a different character, but we clicked and it took us some time to realize we'd met before! We practically speak (/chat/text) on a daily basis now.Another friend that I met through the game was actually playing the opposite faction and doing the Ring of Blood in Northrend, when I helped him slay his foe. He added me to say thanks, and that's how we got to talking.
Been playing wow with my guildies since beta when we played alliance. When I moved to a new place with new roommates I as turned over to the horde and behold the rest of the alliance players moved with me. The guild held lan where people from all over the world came, I believe we were about 40 people raiding onyxia and molten core after weeks of attunements.People have then come and gone but most still keep in contact be it real life or on vent.
Free Stuff!
i met my girlfriend from this game, we've been playing together for years, shes the love of my life :)
I consider my guildmaster to be a good friend. When I was between jobs, he was even nice enough to pay for a month of my subscription. Since he lives in California, the joke has always been that if I ever go to Blizzcon, I'd spend the weekend at his house.
Back in TBC I was Horde and there was this Alliance guild that started their raids around the same time as us. Due to this, our guilds would get into the summoning stone gank parties. But I still felt that it wasn't hateful or anything like that (especially since I wouldn't attack them and instead /dance with them with my tauren hunter who would be wearing a farmer outfit), so I just made an account on their forum and started chatting with them when time allowed. Fast forward to now and I'm in the Alliance guild (having joined in mid-Cataclysm) after having been good friends with one of them through the years through IM, Skype, Whatsapp, etc. It's funny how the faction wall was the reason for our friendship to develop.
I have met several people over the years that I talk too outside of wow, have them on facebook, hung out with them in person & became good friends with
In the strangest turn of events ever I went to met a guildie IRL and it turned out to be one of my ex bosses that bashed on me for playing WoW.
If only this was a year ago I would have definitely applied. I was watching the Catfish show about half an hour before picking up someone I had only ever talked to on vent, in game and on Facebook, from the airport. It turned out really well he met a lot of the guild and we traveled the country. We are now working on our next meeting and we are together now
I met a guy back in early BC. We started out as noobs, and used DAYS on farming vibrant plumes or whatever for the darkmoon faire... Thinking that it would end with an EPIC reward. We became very good friends. Too bad i never saw him again after wrath hit... i still miss him.
Almost every guildmate I raided with are awesome! I haven't seen them Irl, but I'm still talking to them every day, even though I'm not a raider anymore. I was actually planning to visit Denmark just to see them, but unfortunately I couldn't afford it then.

I've had a beer with my guild master couple of times. After playing in same guild for over 4 years I've realized that he lives just few blocks from me. We've met, talked about everything (game and IRL) and had few beers. Also we (guild) had one meeting last year. Strange thing to talk in person with people u know for couple of years only trough their chars.
