Oh and at least you do have some friends to go to conventions with so it's all good. Cherish them.

I actually used to be a hardcore WoW addict several years ago and I had several friends/guildmates that I met at Blizzcon in 2011 which was one of the most memorable times in my life and it was fun meeting people that I played WoW with in real life for the first time.

In fact, that period of my life was probably one of the few instances in my life where I was truly happy. I regret selling my WoW account and dropping contact with most of them

Don't do what I did.
