Reader Discussion: What’s Your Favorite Online Gaming Community?
Today’s story about the way that online behavior is affected by the community you’re playing with got us reminiscing about our favorite social experiences online.
What have been your favorite communities built around an individual game? Was it an MMO, like World of Warcraft? Or a shooter, like Halo 2? Or some other genre? And what did you like about your social interactions in that game? Was it highly competitive, or especially supportive to new players? Was it fun because it was a large community, or because it enabled lots of smaller interactions and the development of friendships?
And finally, how did that social community affect the way that you played the game?

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
