I'm doing some research into online friendships etc for my dissertation.
Basically, I want to know what you would call your 'online' friends (ie, online friends, game friends, etc) and your 'offline' friends (ie; rl friends etc)
if you've never even thought about it, well, now's your chance. :P

It depends what you mean by "what you would call", are we talking about where we draw the line between someone being a friend and simply knowing someone?

Also what about people like Heta who has no friends :p

I know people online, I wouldn't say that they were my friends as such, like i wouldn't loan em money or anything :p

My Friends are left for the world of REAL LIFE.

In Green Peacekeepers i made few friends, since I could trust them if i needed to order something from UK shops (when they weren't delivering to my country) etc. So you can make in-game friends that will be RL too ;)
