When my first toon was leveling about six years ago, I was not meeting people on line that were very nice. I was questing in The Stonetalon Mountains and I saw a druid struggling to kill harpies. I jumped in to the fight. We started talking after. Her husband plays as well. Shortly after my wife and son started playing.Now (10 90's later) we still play together, all of us. We call, email ans talk in vent as often as we can. The live in Europe and we live in New York so we never met, that doesn't matter. we still love them.

I have several great friendship that started with burning crusade and continued all the way to now. Playing with a friend is much more fun than alone, and I think that's what WoW is about - simply playing with your friends. I wouldn't like to raid/arena with people I can't have fun with. :)
I've made a very good friend on wow and we became friends offline as well. Though we lived in different countries we would talk all the time... well the funnest thing was still getting him killed in wow. Back in tbc i told him about a "secret" room in karazhan, well he followed me all the way past the chess event and i told him to turn left because there was something awesome in that room... well it was one of those fiends that at the time hit like trains, needless to say he died and i enjoyed every second of it. there's no true friend like one you can get killed over and over :)
I used the wowhead forum posts to find a RAF buddy a few months ago. We hit it off great and soon he hit level 90. About a month ago my guild ran into a crisis when we lost our voice chat system and the guy donated to us so we could have a year's worth of chat. He just had his first child and won't be using wow much because of it now but needless to say I can call this man a true friend even though we've never met. His generosity was much appreciated.
Cool my favo game and a show i like a lot meet up!Anyhow I have met some friends for life through this game. Sadly lost some of them too...Still it feels like comming home when the special ones are online!
I started playing WoW in January 2009 and joined the guild of a friend. There I started chatting with some great people from a variety of different countries, I began to talk with them every day getting to know them better. As we got along so well we decided to have a guild meetup in my home country. In September of the same year we had our international meetup, unfortunately not everyone could make it but I am glad I got to meet some of them face to face. I was lucky enough to fall in love with one of my guildies and we began a relationship during that same trip. Three years later I moved to another country where we to this day still live together and are continuing to happily play WoW. I still talk with some of my old guildies although most of them do not play anymore. I am glad that I had the opportunity to meet them and of course I am the most glad about finding love! :)
A few years ago i met a very very close friend of mine, as we were raiding and griping over a mutual hunter nemesis of ours. We are still extremely close and talk multiple times a day!
Met one of my raiders from Wrath, as it turned out he lives in the same city as me. We are still very good friends, and go for beers all the time. At one point we were even working for the same company.
Tough one to answer seeing as I've met so many awesome people from around the world in my time in World of Warcraft.I've been raiding for quite some while in both 10 and 25m mode so I've had MANY people to share laughter with for so many hours. It'd be awesome to meet some of those people irl seeing as we spend so much time in the game together.However if I have to really take ONE specific person that is going to be remembered for eternity is a friendly rogue on my server who asked if he could join our flex SoO run and when he joined our vent he showed to be a brittish joker. He found the most hilarious comments to everything and all in all it was a blast raiding with him.
I was doing part of my Whirlwind Weapon Warrior Quest in Hillsbrad Foothills in Vanilla when I came across a Rare Elite Dragon that was way too high level for me, infact I don't think I could even see its level. I asked in general if someone wanted to group up for it and a high level Orc Warrior offered to help me. He killed it for me and I started talking to him regularly (usually pestering him for pointers on how to play Warrior I think!), eventually joined his guild and have been good friends with him ever since. Met up with him at one of the WoTLK launch night events and had a great time.
Up until Wrath I was a complete solo player, only really playing as my main, my gd old druid... As the days went on dnt get me wrong, I was havin a lot of fun, but they did grow a little lonely, so... I began to think about joinin a guild, I never really acted on it but one day, I came across a bunch of people looking for a healer for sum instance runs, I said ok sure Ill heal and we were off doing dungeon after dungeon, we obviously started talking and having a gd ol' laugh and they actually asked me: are u looking for a guild at the moment? At this point, my ears sprang up and I furiously typed YER I AM! =D So they invited me to their guild, turns out, tht from then on, I would make a lot of close friends who're actually near-ish to where I live and weve all been 1 big happy family since socialising, growing, dungeon running and raiding ^^ thats why I love my guild, my friend, my wow family =)
Met my wife in WoW 6 years ago, we played together online for a brief time after a chance meeting when I was buying a recipe she happened to have. After that it went from chatting a few minutes a day, to a few hours, to pretty much all the time. A few months later we decided to take the plunge and meet, which was no small feat given that she lived on the complete opposite side of the world (almost exactly, I can't go more than an hour or so from here before I've gone so far I'd be on my way back). Once we met it all just fell into place from there, I never left and we've been together offline 5 years next month and still playing WoW together.
No great story but have met quite a few people through my guild that it is fun to run with not sure I will ever meet them in RL.
What a fun Idea. I would love to meet up with the Guildmaster of my guild. We are always friendly to each other when we are both online. Would be way cool to go out for drinks with him.
I met a Murloc..... he killed me. Sad. :(
Great inevitable ways for you to get more friends through the internet than real life.
have quite a few friends I've met through WoW - always funny to meet them IRL for the first time and see how different they are from what you pictured based on play, toon, etc. :)
My guildies and I have formed a great friendship where we make fun of each other constantly.
A friendship that i started in Wow? I've met my husband in Dalaran 4 years ago.. and we are still together, in game and of course in real life; we have also met other 4- 5 guild mates
