World of Warcraft was a third place for me and my friends, and for some of my internet friends as well. The game itself offered low-intensity, low-attention interactions too, like fishing, and we would combine these activities with just hanging out, but online. It's one of the most memorable things for me from my time in that game, and that's surely because of how important this function is socially.
