It seems like the second you can find a common game with another person the conversation just flows.

I know a huge bunch of people who play at my work (we’re an IT outffit so its not a huge surprise). it can be tricky when someone you manage wants in to your guild….or worse your manager!

And it can be a nightmare when guild drama kicks off!

But yeah on the while its a nice community feel :)

I always find it amazing that I can run into people from all walks of life who play WoW, at all ages, from all backgrounds, even in the most unlikely of places.

Thank god for the interwebz, and for developers who continue to pump out titles in out favorite genre!

I’ve been “outed” by a loaner who saw me reading… well, this blog.
Sometimes it is a very small world indeed. (or like Spinks said, there are just a sh*tload of WoW gamers).

But yea, Tattoo of Awsome!

This is also one of the bonuses of playing WoW. Many more people will either play it or have heard of it.
