Theres like two people i'd actually like to meet in real life and would probably get along with well. Everyone else just gave me a good match and thats the only connection we have.

Depends, I got like 80 'friends' on my 'friends' list, but I only consider people I:

a) play with often

b) talk to alot in private chats

as friends. And anyone I know in real life in a friend.

That except that 60 people on my friends list are from my high school so they are friends.

I have a few dozen real friends which I know in real life that are on my list. The other people are just because we had a decent match together.

I only consider a person who i have met in real life, who i can give a hand shake, or reach out and give a charlie horse my Friend. any relationship thats between me ( or anyone) that consists of a voice on the other end of a microphone and a picture or avatar on a TV/Moniter is not real.. (to me at least.. that's not what i call a healthy relationship)

I have about 10 friends that I talk and play with on a regular basis.I would consider those friends and the rest are just people I play with every once in a while...also like someone said before meeting them would be really fun.

All but 2 people on my list are people I actually know, so it's about 80% actual friends, 20% randoms.

i've gotten pretty close with a few of them, and some of them i definitely consider proper friends. those would be the ones that i can actually talk to about something other than the video game though. it's just like making a real friend, you start out as acquaintances and then eventually you get closer, just like a person you've met. there are others that i just merely play games with when i need a teammate and other than that never talk to, and those are not friends.

not xbla people, but It felt like being good friends with people in my WoW guild back when I played. In fact I kinda miss them once in a while and wish I could keep in touch. It's weird to think of people you have never met in person as friends, so it's kinda weird when it happens.

Proper friends? Not really. They're more like acquaintances.

I know one I consider a real friend, His name is Anthony. I have known him ever since I got live and we play games online everyday with each other. We are usually in a party with one of his close real life friends and his girlfriend and we have alot of fun. But the other few people I don't really care about and they are not "friends"

Yes, alot of friends I have online, whether it's on WoW, Xbox Live, Gamespot, etc... I consider to be very close friends, I think the whole "you need to meet someone in real life before they can be considered a friend" isn't true, because I have literally dozens of online friends that I hang out with online all the time. Who cares if they live in USA, why should that make them any less of a friend?

I only have 20 Xbox Live "friends." I usually talk to all of them, but four of them I actually know in real life and about 4-6 of them I'd actually like to meet.

I don't coz I don't know them or talk to them. But some of my XBL friends are actually people I know so I guess they are.

Yes, because either I know you in real life (18 of my friends), or I play with you on a regular basis (6 friends).

I'll accept you, but when I go a week without communication, I delete you

Everyone on my friends list is an actual friend of mine from either school or work. I only have like 11 people in my friends list since gaming isnt really that popular here in New Zealand, but yeah. I guess I consider them to all be friends :P

As in people who i've met online, I wouldn't consider them as real friends at all. I've met one or two people who are pretty cool and wouldn't mind being friends with in real life, however its eaier just to treat everyone as a person you play games with.

Not all of them, of course, Maybe 6-10 I'd consider actual friends. People who's name I know and refer to would be mainly ones I'd consider friends.
