The only ones I've really been fond of are groups where the members are also mostly in-person friends as well. So everyone knows what the others are truly like.

To be honest, maybe it's a terrible idea, but I do try to bring my "real self" to the internet and not some crafted personality. I never put up anything I wouldn't tell someone in person. I don't act different than I do in person.

I do not think this is a terrible idea. Games such as league of legends feel dramatically different when I play with friends in real life.

One strange thing is that as my age grows my preference for multiplayer game changes from "competitive" to "coop".
