tl;dr introduction-
I'm looking for an old WoW buddy I lost touch with several years ago to check up on. If your first name starts with an M and you played a druid character named Hitoku on server Gilneas Alliance, this is probably you! Edit: US REGION. FP edit: Thanks for the support guys! I've had a few people step forward to help, I'll update if anything comes up!
For some more details:
This started in circa 2012ish? Somewhere between 2011-2015. I met someone on WoW. We began texting back and forth after chatting over the game for a while. I was a pretty isolated kid at the time, and he was super chill about me pestering him. After a long while, maybe a year or so, we began texting back and forth less and less just because of life on both sides. One day after a long gap in time I shot him a text to check up, and it was no longer his number. There was no way to get back in contact, as he had stopped playing the game, and though we had talked a lot we had each remained somewhat private about personal details such as full names, what we looked like, etc. (Stranger danger, after all.) I'm up late and was thinking about social experiments for the hell of it to find long lost people, and thought I'd give Imgur a shot.
I understand if this gets out there a good majority of views will come from those without actively used accounts. I made a quick gmail for this reason. This is also a separate throwaway account so messaging won't work on my end unless this gets upvoted.
ANYWAY. As a final disclaimer; if you may know who this is, consider their privacy if you can help me find them. I, and probably you too, have no way of knowing whether or not they'd want to be found unless he is already coming forth voluntarily. In the end it's no big deal! So without further ado, here is the email- Lookingforadude17@gmail.com

Old wow player here. Had a kid pestering me in destiny 2. Maybe i should be kinder and more tolerant with him. He tries hard atleast.
largeal
DON'T molest him
fuckyeahilikevodka
Which platform you play?
Lakalaba
I try and am pretty patient with most people that try to be civil and not a potato, but some are so salty they are hard to deal with.
Lakalaba
Also a Destiny 2 player. Love leading people, for the most part, through the raid
BARose
+1 for destiny 2
DinoKebab
This is like the modern day version of the WW2 veterans looking for old buddies they served with.
Lookingforsomedude
More like millennial version.

God we’re a pathetic generation in comparison lmao
Sacurason
Meh. Nothing wrong with trying to find long lost friends, regardless of the circumstances involved.
AlbertRVA
Except in this tale, OP wants his battle buddy in his tail...
Lookingforsomedude
Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
Poopaloupe
may these 2 fgts be reunited, amen
ProphetChuck
Do you know his Battlenet ID? If not you could probably ask Blizzard for it maybe? Especially because you know his characters name.

I'm still looking for my old Halo buddy's....I miss them even now

BeefyWeefs
I am still good friends with many of the people that I met on wow. They helped me through some hard times. Good luck @OP
YeetPirate
I used to play with a warrior called "ButtMuscle". Great dude.
OmnibusLatinName
Played with a fella named Barkus (Horde warrior). Dude had the best laugh, we'd waste half the raid just trying to get him to do it. :)
lordbucket
Nope. But if a certain rogue from Winterhoof wants to get back in touch with Glissindriel, I miss you.
Lookingforsomedude
Awwww

My old WoW buddy was Flonne, Alliance rogue on Suramar. Mattensly says hello!
LoodGookin
The Drunken Horde- Jaedenar- If any of you see this B says hello.
valkyrie9
Updoot for old WoW, hope you find him @op! I made many friends over the years on the game and sadly lost touch with most :(
shiftingillusion
If you had his email address, try friending him through that on wow/Battle.net. Maybe he still plays other Blizz games and will notice
shiftingillusion
Also, I currently play on Gilneas so even though you said he's inactive, I'll keep an eye out! You never know.
Lookingforsomedude
I tried looking up his character through the armory database and nothing came up. And no, I don't think I have an email for him anywhere.
Gelvanized
Yeah after a certain amount of inactivity they will not appear on armoury.

I lost touch with alot of friends from Argent Dawn back from my Vanilla days, was a NE Hunter named Kelora. Now, I'm Horde all the way! FTH!

I hope @OP keeps a tally of all the dick picks he received so him and his friend can laugh about it after he finds them

Wrong server, but thanks
LoodGookin
He could have switched realms, some people love to keep their unique name.
Lookingforsomedude
i checked a website that brings up a little dirt on characters besides armory, doesn't look like it
Lookingforsomedude
Characters been on the server since '05
RayLynch
Ah WoW. I loved that game for e while. Eventually gave everything away and left my Tauren Druid asleep on a bench in Moonglade. Oh Ragic....
SayWhatYouMeanMeanWhatYouSay
That's a pretty lovely way to bid farewell to a druid, nice.
RayLynch
My Undead Warrior was Nuckinfutz. But Ragic, how I loved that bullish fellow.
Asharil

Was lookingforadude@gmail already taken?
Lookingforsomedude
Maybe I just thought a 17 would look good. Maybe 17 is the pain rating on a scale of 1-10 if my MOURNING FOR MY FRIEND. :'(
Lookingforsomedude
Or maybe I spat out the email account in under a minute not thinking Imgur was full of critiques for emails i will be using for like, a day.
monkeylord1
Can I have the email plz?
Lookingforsomedude
Sorry?
monkeylord1

For the Warchief that cycles every expansion!
TheNax
Sylvanas got it. Garrosh was a whimpering child and Vol'jin was just boring.. But Sylvanas is the shit!
Cassiopeia93
I still see no reason why orcs/tauren/trolls should be following Sylvanas, what has she really done for them?
TheNax
Nothing directly, but they swore allegiance to the horde, where she is now Warchief. But I see your point! Still vastly prefer her over 1/2
Leidiriv
At this rate we'll run out of warchiefs in two years!
Grimmrog

I will always be alliance. There's enough darkness in my thoughts. I want to gameplay to be light.
oxide454
I always preferred the Alliance side of the story. Plus I wanted to roll a Paladin in the original game
Greymalum
I'm cool with the message, that email though is pretty gay.
bringbakfirefly
I'm sure it's just for this search. The funny thing is that 16 other people had the same idea.
Lookingforsomedude
Damnit, should I have gone with "Ver3unstr8xox69" instead? Just a little bit less gay?
Greymalum
Up to you, man. I don't care who fucks who as long as it's consensual, age appropriate. Or not, not implying any fucking, only a gay email.
Lookingforsomedude
I mean, not to oppress it or anything, but I'm gonna assume my email is asexual.

Also best if luck, quit wow for a bit but legacy servers will stage me back.
doctormellow
Wait, by definition.. An email must be binary. Like, no bullshit. But it can't be a specific gender, it has to be both 1s and 0s. 1/2
doctormellow
I would enjoy this idea so much more if I was high right now 2/2
lonelyforsakentorturedheart
Wait... An email have sexual orientation?! What a time to be alive?!
MistressLyda
So it does not want anything in it's box?

Ayyyyy lmao
