One time, I was playing TF2, and I joined a server with only another person on it. We decided we'd just get Chieves together for a bit. Not the best experience, but pretty good as I can't remember my best.

On most of the smaller wow private servers (back when i still played it) i would always get really friendly alliance when on horde chars. Like once in outlands went to kill a miniboss 3-man quest demon and a dranie shaman was in the middle of fighting it...so i being a tauren warrior at the time jumped down and taunted/tanked it for him so it could reset faster. After we killed it we both moved over to the ramp that leads to the platform the guy spawns on to sit down and heal he did /bow to thank me for my help then sat and waitied with me for it to respawn and dps'd it once i had the agro...should have jumped on an alt and added the guy would have been cool to hang with someone like that. Anyway after we had both killed it we just thanked eachother and took off to turn in the quests...was nice.
Then there is league of legends...i know it gets a lot of crap for its fanbase (what doesn't when it's fanbase hits that size) and i have actually had quite a few people i wish i could reach through the computer and stab in the eye for the things they do (typically the leavers(on either team) sucks ass) but there are quite a few cool people on there. One i met during a game were our ad carry fed and then left(don't know who he was playying XD) then the support taric and jungle jax both gave up the taric actually leaving the match and the jax spamming /l and /d in base so me (playing vlad mid) and my top singed were left to play for at least another 10 minutes. Once it hit 20 minutes the jax called a surrender vote me and the singed having an absolute ball playing a 5v2 auto declined and he complained for about a minute then dc'd 20 minutes later he comes back and me and singed are still keeping the enemy off the base turrets and hadn't even lost an inhib the jax completely amazed actually stayed and helped us defend for the last 15 minutes of what ended up being a 55 minute match that was almost 2v5 for a good 45-50 of it...only one guy on the enemy team wasn't happy with that match it was a good day(wish i wasn't a tard back then and knew what lolrecorder was i'd love to have that match(oh yeah this all took place just over a year ago(back when jax was a completely broken piece of ungodly trash)). I probaly have about a hundred more from league but all end with either a) didn't know of lolrecorder or b) lolrecorder was off/deleted -.- so many awesome moments that never got to see youtube...oh well.

COD. I remember many many mannnnnnyyyyyy lobbies with randoms that were just fun. Sitting in there between games, cracking jokes at random. Best time is last at night to, when you get all the insomniacs, stoners, and late workers. Great times. Hell, most of the people I play different games with on Live came from COD.
Runner up would be ME3. Occasionally you get the random tard, but most of the time its a blast when 4 random people start working together. Also fun to hear "Oh shit oh shit oh shit" and see one of those randoms fly past. Heh.

Way back when TF2 was a thing on XBox, I had some good experiences.
The achievement hunting community is actually really nice. Most of my encounters have been quid pro quo achievement trading but still.
There's no really awful people on ME3 multiplayer anymore, the worst I've seen is people who just don't revive you.
Company of Heroes is pretty good. Most of the people you end up playing with are probably house-bound racist, but what're you going to do.

Same here. Occacionally you'd get some idiot talking about medieval abortion practices, but most of the time it'd be fun.thethird0611 said:
Probably my first time trying Left 4 Dead 2. I was really afraid to play online for my first time because I thought everyone would get mad at me for being a noob and kick me out of every game. The first game I played everyone was really nice to me, emphasized teamwork really well, and let me have pretty much every First Aid Kit (because I needed it.)
Yesterday, with the Oslo fighting game community.
They arrange casuals every friday, so I figured I'd show up, play some games and meet some people. The result was an extremely fun evening with a bunch of nice and helpful people. I had a great time, and the guy I spent most of the evening playing Tekken with taught me a lot of useful stuff(we both had Lars on our team, so I learned several new combos and setups for him).
I'm definitely going to show up on one of those casuals again.

City of Heroes. I was sidekicked to some higher level characters in an area and they had to log off while I was in a high level zone. I didn't have a travel power at that point so I was stuck there. Technically all I had to do was die and respawn back at base but I was too wrapped up in what was going on to do that entirely readily. A few messages later and some friends of friends showed up and escorted me out. Practically it made no sense but they were all willing to buy into the idea and we ended up forming a guild that lasted a few years.
TF2 and AC Brotherhood come to mind here. People also need to go onto Portal 2's multiplayer; those guys are awesome. I've only played the multiplayer (online, that is) once, and I had a very good impression of those guys.
Hanging out with my local fighting game community. I've made some friends and have met some very nice folk. And playing a stranger is always a thrill. It's a beautiful thing to be able to greet people in gameplay instead of speech. I can proudly say I've become more social because of video games. I actually want to meet more people nowadays.
And man, I've gotten much better ever since I started playing locally. Feels fantastic.
