Really? When I played PSO it felt like I was the only one around that didn't play a loli.

Also the game is instanced, just take your time figuring it out solo.

PSO is easy to play alone since it's instanced. Just run and hide in a private room and figure things out.

Do what most of us do and play solo or just with people you already know that you will somehow have to drag to play your game of choice.

It won't let me start the game unless I'm connected to the free server, maybe I didn't take my time but I didn't see any private rooms/blocks/ships or whatever.

>>9999320

I don't know any people online or otherwise that would game with me.

>>9999324
You don't need to. Just play the missions solo.

>>9999374

I honestly couldn't stay in that lobby long enough to see all the options in starting missions, I only saw "join party".

>>9999277
>people start being nice and saying hi to me and I have no clue what to say,
You got farther than me. I solo without anyone saying a word to me until I hit max level. Then I sit in town with nothing to do and no one to talk to, just feeling depressed that I'm too scared to start a conversation or join a guild.

People NEVER approach me. They always seem like they're too busy with their own shit.

This describes my every MMO experience ever (except for that first RO server...)

You should focus less on what people think about you and more on what you think about the game itself. I play mmos because my sleeping schedule is fucked and there's nothing to do on the graveyard shift.

Easier said than done

Don't mind me.

The only time I ever enjoyed an MMO was playing Ragnarok Online in high school, because the few friends I had also played it. If I had to go it alone or with people I didn't know it would be a problem. Nowadays my social anxiety makes it impossible anyway. The thought of trying to get on an MMO and join a party makes me nervous and scared.

Whenever /jp/ plays a new mmo I join and stalk those with the obvious /jp/sie names to see how they interact off board. I'd say at least 90% of you came from or still post on /v/.

i think you need to get into MMOs before 4chan
back when i played WoW, i maxed out my friends list, and i regularly talked to almost all of them. since quitting and spending 14 hours a day on here i haven't made any online friends at all anywhere

>>10006300
Steam group isolation and board phobia is not the way to go. This will keep happening until people decide to recruit players based on their personal character instead of what board they're from. Saying you're from 4chan attracts anyone that wants to be associated with it.

>>10006300
I hope you've stalked me! I don't think I've had a stalker before.

Then again I've never been a fag and used a Touhou name or anything, so you probably haven't. Very sad.

I used to play MMOs but it fucking sucks when you have no friends.

I went back to WoW for MoP and felt like a worthless sack of shit.

>>10006300
You mean like this

>>10006310
Same here pretty much. Somehow I became unable to talk to people in a non-anonymous environment at one point.

>>10006356
It's because when you're here you don't have to worry about what people think about you. You're free from other people's judgment, which makes it easy for someone with social difficulties to talk here.

>>10006365
Conversely, if you're on an MMO or a message board that requires registration, other people will know who you are and will recognize you, and remember the things that you have said, etc.

>>10006365
If you've ever played with /jp/, it's the complete opposite. I don't get how people obsess playing with each other on this board when they act like retards when they're together. Also, how hard is it to find a partner to play with in a mmo? It's a video game, not a marriage.

>>10006380
>Also, how hard is it to find a partner to play with in a mmo?

The idea makes me want to cry. It scares me so much.

>>9999277
I don't know OP
I feel the same way playing games online
Especially when someones using a mic

>>10006393
I've never been able to use a mic. It's just too scary.

>>10006356
I want to play video games with you.

>>10006396
My friends from before I even came on 4chan keep pressuring me to use a mic and even I have one in they pressure me to talk.

I always suck when I play with them cause I'm so stressed I can't play well

I wouldn't want to use a mic because people have made fun of how I talk. My voice is deep and monotone.

>>10006414
Mine too, people made fun of me all through high school for that.

>>10006380
We're just being ironic dude

>>10006414
I'm afraid to use a mic because I can't pronounce a couple letters quite right.

>>10006380
>>10006402
I tried with one /jp/sie but I always felt bad because he had to start all the conversations.

>>10006446
When I was in elementary school I had to take a speech class because my pronunciation of a few letters (like "r") was weird. I don't remember what the others were.

What games do you guys play? We should have a mute autist meetup.

>>10006450
Same here. I think it was "r", "th", and "sh" for me, and I still have problems with "r" and "th".

Thing is, no one on /jp/ really has anxiety and they can deal with it easily.

>>10006466
おｋ

>>10006466
Very enlightening, anon. I guess it was all in my head.

>>10006469
vocaroo pls

I tend to solo until I find someone nice. If I see someone that needs help, I try to help them and rarely I make a friend that way.

Sometimes I never find anyone nice.

>>10006300
This is what I have received from trying to play with any board. Everything is too lax and then the people I actually want to play with just leave.

>>10006446
My voice is so mangled people can't even make out what I'm saying, I can always pretend it's my accent though.
