Are you PC or Console?

Best thing is to join a guild of like minded people (PvP, Questing, Dungeons etc) or a social guild that dips their toes in everything.

There are guild recruitment threads here in the guild section.

Also, if your running a delve, sometimes a person will tag along. If your doing well together and your not even talking to each other, request them to group with you. It might only be for that delve or it might be that you go run some others.

Your best bet is to join a guild - preferably one that does regular events. When you start joining in on some of those events you'll find yourself getting to know a bunch of the regulars.

I'm in a couple guilds but my highest lvl character is 26 and they have a ton of Vets. I think both of them are DC and my 26 is EP. Which causes some problems. I joined cause she's a werewolf and its a werewolf group but I forgot to think about my activity in the guild lvl and alliance wise. I've looked around on the guild recruitment but not much. So I'll try again and see if I find a guild that is similar to what I'm looking for.

What platform and server are you on?

Depends on if u like to pvp or just pve. Easier to make friends in pvp.

Most content in this game can be done alone, including public dungeons. You only need a group when you're doing group dungeons, trials and Craglorn.

If you're looking for socializing, then I can invite you into a very social trading guild. In fact, they chat so much I had to create a chat tab just for this guild.

How to make friends :
- Complete that Public Dungeon in EP where you get "Mistery Meat"
- Find a newb populated area
- Place said Mistery Meat.
- Wait in a corner. if you also see someone laughin' at the newbs who eat it, befriend them. they gud.

I'd say what everyone else says here and find a guild if you can - it's probably easiest to do that if you PvP but there are ones that do the PvE group stuff too. The ones you probably want will use a voice client of some kind which makes it far easier to interact with people. The best ones will be both serious and fun. You will see some advertised around as you game - be a bit picky!

But as a fresh to MMO player my first real contacts in game were from doing group dungeons with people - over the course of quite a few I met a handful of people who I chatted too a lot. We formed our own small guild of about 12 and just did stupid sh*t together... our epic 5 person attempt at Hel Ra just after it came out is still a favourite memory of mine (and no we did not complete it).

If you enjoy PvP and are reasonably competent then sooner or later someone will invite you to a guild - just bear in mind there is a lot of 'drama' in PvP between guilds and alliances but that can be part of the fun if you don't let it take over your gaming experience.

Help people out in /zone from time to time when they shout - I've made a couple of friends that way too...

And all this comes from someone who is pretty antisocial at the best of times.

Play tank or healer. Join pug groups and be reasonably friendly + competent. Watch friend requests literally raining down once the last boss is dead.

That's the only way I'm making acquaintances outside of guilds really. I group with people, they add and than poke me to infinity for pledges or farming monster helms. The ones I dislike I remove. The ones I like I tend to become e-buddie with or whatever we shall call it.

Not sure how you make friends as dps though lol. Guess you need to take initiatives yourself. So if you're shy or lacking social confidence, don't play dps

Thanks everyone!! Your advice has been very helpful!

I will have to try that!!!! To answer some questions:
I do not have any DLC. Most of my characters are in EP. One is in DC because I got tired of playing the same quests. I play on PC. I have made a healer for the purpose of grouping with people. Just have to level her up (insert groan here) My lvl 26 is a DPS....I think.... and a werewolf.... I'm not very good at knowing builds........But shes for the purpose of playing alongside my boyfriend. Which means I need a character I can play when he's not home.
I am a very outgoing person but I'm also awkward and don't get out of my comfort zone much.

I tried so hard to make it sound better too.... I seriously typed "I don't like playing with myself" and then realized my mistake and typed "by myself". And when I hit post I realized I could of just said "Playing alone" Welp.
