Yes, vast amounts of beer was involved and my memory might be a bit inaccurate, but the essence is fairly easy to reacall. The difference between the friends you get from a good guild and "real" friends, is in some ways smaller than you might think. What makes friends more than mere aquaintaces (is that a word? :p) would charactarize most good guildies. In neXus I often see ppl that would offer help without being asked to or help out without expecting anything in return, wich is exactly what you would expect from friends. The comparison is of course not entirely accurate as you get a better group in return of your time, so you do (indirectly) expect something. The point is that there is no sence in comparing the types of friends or agents as they operate different worlds, having said that, I think a lot of ppl have as good virtual friends than IRL. I know this was a bit off topic and probably just one post regarding this out of a million :-) Had at chat regarding this subject with another user of this forum a couple of weeks ago.
