I never really played much of an MMO before FFXIV, so I'm curious if the MMO itself used to be the main method for players to meet one another. Playing XIV, even with many people around, it doesn't seem like there is much random interaction between players. I'm assuming that most people meet elsewhere, e.g. Twitter or Discord or wherever, then play together and continue using those things to interact rather than doing so in game.
I know previously people could have used mirc and teamspeak and whatever for actual interaction, but when it comes to actually 'meeting' new players, is this something that's not as present in modern MMOs?
