Dunno what to tell, except get used to it. Happens on all MMO's.
As for friends, I make alot of them on any game site I play on. Only a few ever become more than just online friends. I never consider it true friendship until I meet them in RL and hit it off, or until the guano hits the fan on the game and they go out of their way to help me back up. But I also grew up before there were PC's. My first PC was a first gen Tandy, and no Internet back then. To make friends we actually had to meet people face to face and talk to them with our mouths, not by text, chat or IM. Always surprised at how young folks these days have more online friends than real life friends, and seem to have little clue how to relate to people face to face in society. "Progress" I suppose, but it seems like it is not always such a good thing.
