WoW is a multi-player game and in-game friendships are formed with players you randomly group with much more often than real life friends. Like other online multi-player games WoW has a guild system that are like your in-game family.
I had been in a couple of guilds the Frozen Pirates (it lasted a whole day before I left there) and Shield of the Felwen (until the GM vanished after a couple of weeks) before I finally found somewhere that felt like home in EZO, that had well over 400 members all of whom were very active. The guild was aimed at people that played the game for fun more than hard-core raiders and most people where levelling rather than doing any form of end-game content.
