In which game did you make the most friends?

By friends I mean people you know, talk to fairly frequently, and hang out with. So for example I have been in some giant, impersonal 500 member guilds where I maybe really only got to know a few people. I would only be counting the ones I got to know.

For me it would be City of Heroes. That was a very social game. After that I would say SWG and then Everquest. 

EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests

    Lineage 2. At least before the F2P conversion. The guilds I joined consistently talked, the game was 100% grinding so you needed people you enjoyed talking to, to push yourself to keep going. Plus we had sieges we planned out and things like that. I think I stayed with the same clan for about 7 years on L2, and they made the game so much better for me.

    City of Heroes/Villains, and Neverwinter Nights. (The Bioware game, not the MMO by Cryptic/PWE)

    My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

    SWG first, with EVE in second place and War Thunder as third.

    Ultima Online - I really miss those days and the friends that I made.

    I made quite a few friends in both these games but they don't compare to the community and companionship that I experienced in Ultima Online. 

    Everquest 2 
    Vanguard Saga of Heroes

    warcraft 3 :
    i still organize a lan every year since 2003 with old core clan members, lately with less pc gaming and more chilling/playing DnD and other roleplaying games.
    we are all in our late twenties/early thirties but we still play together (albeit far less than back in the days), visit eachothers every now and then and we are talking on teamspeak almost every day.

    Star Wars Galaxies pre-NGE. There were players back then that actually became RL friends!

    Asheron's Call was a close second socially.

    In order... FFXI and Lineage 2. I have friends from both games that I met over a decade ago, am still friends with and have spent holidays with, etc.

    Not coincidentally, both MMORPGs had strong social elements, and were designed to be heavily reliant on player cooperation and communication, even competition (esp. with L2).

    Meanwhile, there's only 2 people I've met in a post FFXI/L2 MMO that I still talk to.

    Ultima Online.. Asheron's Call.. Everquest II.. World of Warcraft..

    Talked to a select few others in most of the games I have played, but with the above four, I talked to and knew so many more people on a daily basis..

    Pretty much this. I'm still friends with my L2 guildies. Great people (heck, before f2p great game).

    EQ1 by a long ways
  • cameltosiscameltosis Member LegendaryPosts: 3,847
    LotRO by a large margin. 

    Loads of group content at launch, largely skill-based rather than gear based, very mature community. Most players were just in the habit of pugging all the time so you were always meeting new people. Game also had in built voice chat for groups, which made pugging and getting to know people much easier. 

    Sadly, by the time I left most new content was solo and all the old zones had been revamped to be solo, so that spirit of grouping up and working together had largely been lost.

    VO, really the only game I've played where I can say I've made lasting connections with other players which I value. I may "value" what another player does during a play session in another game, but VO is the only game where I've come to value individual players themselves over the course of years.

    Aion.  Still in the same guild I joined a few months into aion.  There's a core of about 8 that play almost every game together.   

    Other then that ffxi. Even though I only speak 2 a few of them occasionally I had tons of friends while I played the game
