Never leave you behind

Category: Rant Game: Default Posted on Mar 09, 2008 1:30 am


I have no idea how many guys believe that friendship exist in game, I mean, have you ever asked yourself  DO I HAVE ANYONE IN GAME WHOM i CARE MUCH ABOUT AND WILLING TO SHARE MY MOOD WITH? Do they become your important ppl like we define "friend" in the real world? How many times you contact them whatever ways? If he or she leaves the game, do you try to persuade him or her come back to be with you? If you leave the game, do you often contact your fellows in game and tell them you are OK or anything? Do these ppl just your familiar strangers? is the friendship in game just some kind of weak?

Do forgive me my so many puzzles. I just dont understand if there is an answer, or if the answer is what I need. Whatever, there is one thing that I can be sure is ppl's online relationship is all in weak chains. You never know whether the one who are talking to you on the other side of earth is lying or not, You never can be trusted even when you are called "my friend". This is the rule of the internet life, so is the online games.

Honestly, we make many friends in game whom we dont know their real name or their real life, it seems that what we are making deals with each other, Just chat, party, guild, fight or something else need to be together, then if one day you leave the game, you position will be replaced, maybe in one or two weeks you are still remembered, but you will be forgotten one day. It's the truth. I still remember my leaving from MapleStory two years ago. I wrote down all my in-game friends' MSN or Yahoo, even phone numbers. We did keep in touch with each other for a long time, but now we all keep quiet. Sometimes I know why this happened, but sometimes I feel I dont understand why. is the friendship in-game so weak that can not afford the time?

I ever said, to be friends, I will never be the one who leave first. I would rather be abandoned than abandoning others. if all of us can think like this way, I think friends will all keep in a good relationship. That's why I like American army type films, like what Black Hawk Down says "Never leave you behind"

Thanks for reading, I feel myself a bit incoherent LOL.

Well, you know... you meet them online you talk to them etc, become good friends happy? Then, you keep talkin even more then you're mind can't think of something new n_n;

Then this is what happens....

Guy: Sup

girl: sup

Guy: How are you?

Girl: I am fine n_n; what about you?

Guy: I'm ok too.

Girl: Oh.

Guy: so what's up with you ?

Girl: I donno what's up with you?

Guy:.............

girl:...........

Then suddenly No replys n_n;

This is going to happy someday. But, that doesn't mean you shouldn't make online friends. Just remeber 1 Thing. DO NOT MAKE A PROMISS THAT YOU CANNOT FULFILL!!! you break a promiss to you're friend, you break you're friendship!! the bond between you two breaks away in an instint!

Thyrene met her current or ex-Boyfriend in-game. The guy even went to the country for her...

I myself has a lot of friends that i met thru online game..

5 years later we are still friends who you can depend on eventhough we're not or playing a different game anymore..

 

Probably things happened in a case to case basis manner....

I think there was a time where someone told me that it is in our nature to need physical contact with the person you're talking to. And I don't mean it the bad way -_- But it's kinda true when you think about it. When you meet someone who is like your best companion now you have that need to go and actually meet them. With the whole conflict of like acting as someone else, I think if you look at the bright side there are those who seem to be more open about themselves online they do in real life. And for them, online buddies are the best they can get. I tend to not look for online buddies because you can simply add someone as your friend and never talk to them. Which I think is stupid. But...in all...I think that it's not gonna always happen. I think you'll find at least one person who stays true to the friendship. (btw...just to let you know...when i say these kinds of things I tend to forget what I'm saying so now I'm like...what did I mean? o.O)

i agree with you Hyuk, in-game friendship cant be lasting forever, this matter confused me sometimes also. but like Layce said, those memories are never fake. :) just treasure every friend you meet, that's enough.

Were I come from the internet friendship are the best thing. Beacuse were I come from ppl are companions or enemies (in my case) ppl cant be friends with out someone ruined it. I was very antisocial boy (well... I still am) no one want to be with me beacuse "I was of those weird kids" soo I try to find one but is soo hard! And I still dont have friends where I live (but with gaming everything change how cares that we contact or not there still my friends that if I need help I trust them). Soo thats my case and not from United State but were close.

@Layce, ahh, appreciate your pure-hearted comments, well I make this article to ask myself wat should I do with online friends and how to touch them as my important ppl like real friends, meanwhile I want to know you guys opinions about the friendship online, you are right, someone makes friends wearing a mask, I have to admit Im just one of them, but it doesnt mean I tell the lies, honestly I care much about the friendship online and I wish to be admitted that I AM a person whom can be trusted.

@aahyu, friend in real life means you dont have to worry about the distance between you and him, and the time you miss him/her. The chain that connect you and your friend cant be that kind of weak, you know well about each other and the vivid time you spent together just proved your friendship.

friends forever seem not likely possible in real life, friendship in movie for me is just sth make up

cus we r not like living with parents, always see each other ^ like u say crys, change game, how about we change job and address in real life

dont say game, i have few (maybe only 2) middle skool friend, dey r closest friend to me up to now, but i havent contact them for few years, sumhow i feel myself better live alone, idk wht dey think about me, for me dey still my best friends

Im afraid to ask this kind of question becoz I always can heard ppl telling how stupid and weird to think such frenship can last forever on internet,but I do feel that frenship is so precious and those memories are never fake,only who knows how many ppl like me to think like this? I met alot of ppl on internet,some of them make frens just for fun, for filling the emptyness, for information, or other kind of motives that I dont want to talk about,u know. Frenship on internet helds no responsibility nor bond,there is nothing that can chain us together so strong that we will never leave each other one day. Most ppl wear mask on internet to make frens,who will realy show their trueself to frens? I felt enough already in my internet life,when ppl likes me they can say many good things to me,while those who hates me can flame me like hell,so how many of them realy telling me the truth that i was realy a nice person like those who good to me or i was realy a jerk like those who flame me? True or False,Fake or Real,on the internet,is all the same. I never wear mask in making fren on internet,feel my heart and u will know that i was real soul. If ppl dont like me,let it be,if ppl like me,then u have my heart. Thats what i think how to live on the internet =)

No u are not incoherent =) i feel the emotion in ur article. U missed alot ur frens in mmorpg and u felt regret that the frenship is so weak only to keep in touch with each other. I also have this experience in my mmo life,last time i was have alot of frens in ragnarok online,but now only left 2 frens who is still keep in touch with me. I admit that frenship on internet is weak because we still live in real life and we have real life frens who is always together,not like the internet fren who when u need them and only to see their sleeping icon never wake. Internet is just a place where ppl easy come and easy go,so less ppl that will seriously treating online fren as real life fren becoz they are virtual and never can have chance to see each other,so even if u make alot of fren but u still cant put them into the deep of ur heart becoz they are virtual. Like u said,u never know wat they doing there at the other side of the monitor.

Becoz of this virtuality,frenship is not so real to be kept,and even if we do hope so much to stay in touch with each other,but we canot do anything to keep ppl not running away one day. I always put my heart to keep with my frens on internet,but i get used to see those frens become colder and back to be as stranger...or worst,no more he/she will appear again...
