Try and mix with new people in school who have common interests to you,. There's bound to be a couple of people in your school who have the same interests

You've got to learn to conform to new groups of people easily. It's really difficult at first because you'll sometimes have to change the way you dress and act to fit in with others, but it is the key to making some new and different friends quickly.
Conformity is sometimes really useful, and when you're looking to join new friend groups, it's almost a necessity.

I actually wouldn't recommend that ^.... To an extent
Be yourself. Always.
Have you tried to ask or tell your friends that you want to go out? If not, just do it yourself. You're bound to find people and make new friends when you go out and explore. I know I have. And also, try what Mcdaniels said and make new friends at school.

I don't see why adapting a bit to meet new people is wrong.
You don't have to change yourself because of that. Besides, unless your school is filled with "douchebags", you do not usually have to change much at all.
You seem to be pretty determined so I'm sure it won't be a problem :)

Game with them. Gaming together can form a bond.
IF you want friends that don't game... can't help you there sorry.

first things first work out what you wanna do then do it and while doing it youll meet other people who like doing the same thing and thats how friendships start

you could try mixing with a different group of people at school, join a club and meet new people that way, or go out on your own and do stuff and meet people that way.

I know what you mean. I have buds that love to game, and I never got into it. Doesn't hold my attention at all. Kind of just learned that when they wanna game, just let them. I know that's time to go do something else.

make some new friends... of course spend some time with your old buddies as well but change is sometimes pleasant, you know... dont simply stick to a particular group... join a club and encourage them to come along as well...

If you absolutely can't motivate your buddies to go outside sometime, then yes, it seems like it's time to seek out new friends; but don't make a huge leap and change yourself too much! if you'd like to keep your current friends, just find someone that occasionally goes outside and go outside occasionally with them- then maybe through him you can find others that want to "live their lives".
i've had a friend that told me he felt lonely and sad because gaming was pretty much everything he had, and then he rushed into drinking and getting "real friends" even if he's just this tiny little... person. older than me, sure, but i wasn't sure at all if this was the right thing for him to do, and he quickly recoiled and went back to being (an even sadder) introvert that spends most of his time on his computer.
and honestly, with all due respect, and i'm not trying to convince you or implying you have the opposite opinion, but there's not really that much harm in being introvert or extrovert. if you're an extrovert person and you've got introvert friends, it's time to look for other extrovert people!

Some of the stuff you like to do, check and see if they have clubs. My brother use to be in boyscouts, the did a lot of stuff.

joining some clubs at school would be a good way to meet people with similar interests

ask them, or expand your horizons and talk to other people in your classroom, join clubs, sports teams, etc.
