Virtual Girl

I've come to realize some things in the last 3 months.

There are good friends I've only interacted in WoW for over a year.

Some people are busy its true but if I live in the same town as you and you still only interact with me via WoW what does that say?

When did face to face contact matter so little?

Drop a few unhealthy cliques and suddenly I'm a shut in. I don't get it. Are people just too busy to hang out over a coke once a week? It makes me wonder if this virtual world is all its cracked up to be. I mean I have no desire to BE my characters at all yet some people hide behind the game rather than hang out with me in person.

It disturbs me greatly that people that used to call me over the phone don't any more because they're busy or whatever leveling their 5th toon to 70.

Is it me? I don't think so. I think the game offers a lot but I think some people need to unplug and rest a while. After all living in a virtual world means that you never know WHO you are really talking to unless you know them in person.
