Fading away...

[Sate]

I will go with the "Maybe" option. I only say this because with my experience of Online games I have seemed to outlast most of my friends playing or the game. As I mentioned in Anallee's rep, I too met a few folks through Online games. One in particular I physically met after years of online chat and became close friends. On a spur of the moment, I was in her state and said if she wanted to met we could. Surprisingly she agreed which made me nervous. We met and had a good time while I was in state on business which made my time enjoyable with my crazy schedule. We even dated at one point until RL got in our way (her schedule and mine). Online friends can actually be more supportive than our RL ones at times. Today Online interaction is a social norm.
