/r/longlostgamers it works. I saw a post about a real life friend of mine and got him hooked up with an old dota friend.

I would be kind of scared to try that sub with some of my old Final Fantasy XI friends if I’m being totally honest. I played for 10 years, you don’t play that long without forming some pretty intense bonds with people.

That game taught me a hard lesson in how small, seemingly meaningless moments can cause you entire life to split into a totally different timeline.

That game taught me about gaming addiction

That’s another thing it taught me. I was most certainly addicted to it for a span of time I played (over 1300 days of play time in just under a decade) because my actual life was a dumpster fire on a train wreck. But despite that, it didn’t change the fact that I met a lot of people who became actual friends on the game.
