In this world of over population one may wonder how anyone can feel alone or lonely? A short time ago I myself wondered just about the same thing. I had heard ofon line “relationships.” I would laugh and probably roll my eyes at the thought of something so impossible. How could anyone want to indulge in something like “that.”  You had to be desperate and lonely… That’s what I thought.

It was what I always thought. I played xbox360 on line for awhile. Uno was the game I liked. I had afew people I played with. I didn’t seem to play with them regularly. They were in my friends list but never seemed to play together. I always seemed to recieve some weekly pornographic picture though. I tired of that and stopped playing Uno. That was what I thought online was all about.

I moved onto some shooter games. I played Halo “Reach”. No porn came from these people. So that was cool.  I still did not get the online every day thing. I even played some LostPlanet 2. I never seemed to play with the same people again on this game. Though I must admit I was starting to enjoy getting on line and having an occassonal conversation with someone. Even the #hi* talkers were good for a laugh.

As I played around with game generes I found I liked to hack and slash my opponets. I had Dragon Age Origins (LOVED IT) but no line… That lead me to PS3 and White Knight Chronicals.  I read all about it before it came out and it promised to be a very interesting game. This is were it all changed for me. I played through the game. In no time time I was finished.  Not to say it is a quick game..it was an  engrossing game. I finished the game and went online for the questing part.  I soon found myself online eveyday questing. I spent hours without realizing it. Within days I had made friends and quested with the same people all day. Even without a mic questing and talking. The next day the same routine. I found different sets of friends to quest and talk with.

We banded and bonded together to play this game. In the mist of all this playing and interacting I realized I was living a life online. I had my friends and knew bits and pieces if their lives just as they did mine. Some were americans like me. some not. The beauty was I played with people all over the world. I looked for these people as they looked for me. When someone hadn’t been on in awhile; some one of us would ask after that person. We missed each other…an “online realtionship.”
