I've never actually met face to face with guildies but I've skyped with them quite a bit. Would be fun to meet up in person sometime
One of my best friends currently is someone I've never seen in person. I met him 3 years ago while I was leveling. We were both level 54 and we quested together everyday all the way to 85. He is a charasmatic little charmer and I love him to death. We skype and text all the time still. :)
It was 4 years ago when i discovered WoW, my cousins and friends suggest me to play the game but i said, "No, no ... Pet Society is still the best !", they then replied, "You suck, man !" ...By that, i don't have friends in my neighborhood, even my cousins ignore me xD ...So, one day, when Pet Society was down for, i think "some errors", I tried to play WoW ...And it was amazing ... I've been reading stories in many websites but the lore of WoW is on the top !When they discovered that I have a level 3 Human Paladin now, they, helped me level up ... directly in Northrend ! I remember when my friend helped level up in that place, he killed a horde player and i got the achievement, "An Honorable Kill", which is cool, (I was still a level 4 back then) xD ...Because of my friends, I'm playing WoW now !Cheers !
I think this is a really cool idea, and seems like a fun way to meet n game friends in person ;)
I met my boyfriend on WoW 7 years ago. After playing together for two years, we started dating, and we recently celebrated our 5 year anniversary together last month. However, this anniversary was particularly special, as it was the first one we celebrated face to face. I moved down with him to go to school, and have never been happier in my life.
I met a person I only knew in-game a while back... I though it could be terrifying (especially given that we were opposite sex and the person who was supposed to be there at the meeting with me - to make it more public - was late at the last minute) but it turned out just great.It was a little awkward at first, but no worse than meeting a new person IRL - better, if anything, because you already know each other pretty well. We've since grown apart (mostly since we both play a lot less) but it was still very worthwhile to meet up, and I had a good time (and good memories).
Back in BC, I met this person that randomly whispered me if I wanted to level together with this said person. We've talked a bunch and became friends really fast. Till this day on we still play together and level up on new toons.

I have two (great) friends I've made while playing WoW. The first one I met while in a Ulduar PUG and he was in his dk alt. After a succesful run, he offered me to join his guild, and I accepted. Since then, we have been raiding together and doing Glories/achievements in general together too, along with some other guildies.The second one I met while WPvP'ing in Tol Barad. We two, alone, crushed the army of 6 alliance players. After that, we ran some Random BGs and now we do arenas together (even though I suck). Also, some days ago, we started farming the Halaa tokens to get the mounts, so far I have 106 of 'em and he has 138. But, yeah, he's my PvP mate :PAlso, I've made some other friends in-game, but they're not as close as these two are. However, they're pretty much funny and interesting. There was this guy who was in a Wintergrasp battle, I killed him like 10 times or so, he added me on the Btag and since then we've been talking and I occasionally play with him while I'm in my Alliance character. And last but not least, there was a funny troll (literally) who always appeared in our PUGs. The guy was a joker: as a druid, he carried us through the hills and then dropped us. Many characters died while he did so, some people even got mad with him and obliged him to pay their repair (like he would....). He always LEEROY JEEEENKINS'ed in the last boss of the raids just to piss everyone else. In retreat, no one ressed him (but people always knew he was joking). Unfortunately, he doesn't log in anymore, I miss his trolling in Orgrimmar (he used to kid with everyone on /1 xD).But yeah, these are the most memorable and important ones. O'course there are my guildies, my RL friends and also many characters/players I've met in my journeys throughout the vast World of Warcraft, but I think it is just too much to put in here (even though there is space for 15k chars, but still...).Anyways, that's it! These are my virtual friends (in WoW).
I bonded with my cousin with WoW because we never really got to know each other
4 years ago, at the beginning of Cata, I asked on trade chat if anyone wanted to rp with me. I got a reply from someone pretty quickly, and we rped later. We became friends, and sort of got closer over time. Now we talk to each other every day on Skype, and sometimes we even see each others faces. Were the best of friends, and play lots of different games including WoW together. We usually just talk, but its usually about more private stuff that we don't like to talk about to anyone else. She's the best friend I've ever had c:
It's a little late for Catfish for me, I've already met my someone online and had a long distance relationship(MD to CA). After years of that we took the step to meet. It went great, and after about 5 visits, we live together in Cali still playing WOW a lot and me dabbling in SC2 and her in Hearthstone. Would have definitely signed up to meet her on a show like Catfish all those years ago to meet.
Most of my rl friends started in vanilla about the same time I did. There are a rare few new friends in game that I would even consider meeting and even then I don't know that the experience would be better than we have now. But I'll definitely be watching Catfish.
All my friendships in WOW start when in a raid I start to talk via RaidCall. You see, I am a girl, which is very rare on my server, and most of the guys are in a big shock when they hear a woman talking ^_^ they add me as a friend right away and it's nice to raid with them again =)
I met my current girl via a friend i met in WoW, so in a way, WoW is responsible for many of my current blessings. Don't listen to yer moms kids, online friends can be real friends aswell :)
I've played with pretty much the same people since TBC and have met 2 of them IRL.
Back when I was new WoW, I was having trouble figuring out why I *ahem* suckedsomuch, and a fellow hunter was kind enough to take hours coaching me through the class and rotation. We got to be friends out of game, and years later we still skype regularly (although since we live on opposite sides of the globe, we've accepted that we'll probably never meet in RL).
there is so many people i would like to meet irl the problem is choosing which one
