  1. So, ehm, sorry I need to throw this somewhere. 
    My father came into my room today a few minutes after SWTOR's SMOPs. He loadly expressed that I can't call people friends, if "you don't see them face to face and can't be next to you". Said that "if I'm not american - it means I can't have friends from there". Blamed me for mandatory year in military delay. "This is virtual people - not real. You just know them, but they aren't real." 

    I'm very sorry for such a depressing status update.

      My parents used to say the same thing. And then I married a guy I met in an MMO. We have an adorable 4-year-old daughter. And my parents changed their minds about "internet people." Now, that's not what always happens... just saying. Have some patience with your parents but be your own person and make the choices that are best for YOU.

      My parents used to be that way as well. Growing up I had a lot of IRL friends but nothing beat my friends I made playing online. It wasn't until I went to a little meet up my group of 15 had and we all got to hang out in person did my parents realize that they weren't just "online" people I spoke to but they were actual people. Those guys are my best friends and whenever one of us gets married we all plan to come to that wedding no matter what is going on. 

       

      Hellary don't stress over what your dad says too much. We all are one big happy community and we all are proud to call you our friend.

      Everyone has said anything I could say even better, @Hellary Ren

       

      Unfortunately many who have not experienced the bonds created in online guilds, especially one such as ours, have difficulty in comprehending those bonds can be as real as the face to face friends we have.  Both are very important and fill different needs.  I have seen how close you are with Neo, Merliah, many of us, and I would, by any definition, count that as true friendship. And I would suggest that separate countries and different cultures only make your online friends even cooler.  An old maxim is that one must travel to truly open your mind.  That's kind of what we do now, developing relationships with people from all over the world through RoH. 

       

      Hugs to you @Hellary Ren :)
