You know that feeling . . .

You know that feeling when a new online game comes out and you say to yourself I'm gonna play this game for a long time. Along the way you meet new players such as yourself adventuring off into a new virtue realm. So you thought it wouldn't hurt to just greet and ask them if they want to party. Hours later, too your surprise you find out that you all have a common interests and hobbies, so you just start firing off conversation topics and discussions about that certain topic and such. Few hours later bam added to friends list with no second thoughts, cause its always nice to see a friends list with


people on it, specially the ones you know you can get along with. So you socialize and sometimes party with them if one or the other needed help on a certain part of the quest, for the next few weeks. Midway through the game you get this feeling that the game is becoming more of a chore than just passing the time to entertain yourself, but you still keep playing cause of the friends you made and you want to keep in contact with them. Than one day you just didn't feel like playing the game anymore so you go on a long hiatus than ended up just not going back on. A month or so later after quitting the game, you than remember the friends you made online with. You than had an urge to talk and share more about the interest, so you log on. Of course you couldn't log on as fast as you thought could because you gotta download and install all the patches you missed and during that time you go and see what updates/events you missed out on. So you're just eagerly looking at the download and installation bar, dying to get on to see whats new in the game and of course friends you missed talking too. Select character, loading screen, check friends list, no one is online and you think to yourself "oh maybe they are just busy or out." Keep doing the same process for the next few days to find out that they had quit the game also 1 or 2 weeks back. Now this part I just say to myself "Damn, should've asked them for their skype, msn, steam or etc. Now I can't talk to them again )= "

Yeah that kinda of feeling.
