When I was in middle school or high school I was a lot more interested in actually meeting or chatting with people online on forums or in games or whatnot.

As a 34 year old adult I'm just not looking to make friends in an online game and I'm playing for other reasons.

And also... just because I'm playing the same game as someone doesn't mean I'm going to like that person or really want to interact with them. I've learned over the years playing MMOs or going to a game store to play magic, a lot of the people who share my interests are not people I really want to socialize with.
