I work for a company with thousands of employees - 4K in the facility that I'm in and ppl will ask me if I know someone, and look surprised when I don't.

In a guilds teamspeak channel: "Hey, you're Scottish. So am I!" "Aye, I noticed..." "Where are you from..." "[smalltown]" "Oh unreal! Me too! I'm [realname], I stay in [somestreet]" "Hah! I live just round the corner!" "I've never seen you around town tho...." Eh, pal, I'm not REALLY a 7 foot tall cat-man with a sword I had the opposite happen to me.

“Hey, you’re Scottish. So am I!”
“Aye, I noticed…”
“Where are you from…”
“[smalltown]”
“Oh unreal! Me too! I’m [realname], I stay in [somestreet]”
“Hah! I live just round the corner!”
“I’ve never seen you around town tho….”

People want to play with their friends. But if I meet someone IRL and we both happen to play WoW, what are the odds that we're on the same server? Virtually nil. I have friends in Seattle that started the game separately from me, so they're on another server. I'd love to talk to them in game and see them more, but no luck for me. :/ The opposite is also true.

“I play on Malfurion.”

I got similar questions while in a high school of 4000 and now working at an internationally known company with nearly 3000 at my location.

I gave up trying. The queer looks over my excited and animated explantions has made me MMO-discussions-with-the-non-MMOer-shy.
