DAOC is a very social game. Even at the early stages, many of the encounters and RVR are geared for the group experience. After playing for any length of time, you get to know people within the game be it guild mates, alliance members or just people who get to know your name and group with you. Bonds and friendships form.

I started off playing the game with my son, and we did have pretty much a set group that we ran with. Within that group one couple decided to meet in real life. They started dating, and eventually moved in together. Through the years, I've heard a number of stories about people who've met their significant others in game. The Blackheart Pirates guild on Gaheris has a yearly get together so that guild members can meet and greet each other during a weeklong, summer vacation event. I've never gotten the opportunity to attend, but the group that regularly does so has a blast getting together each year.

This week, Topic of the Week wants to hear your stories about real life meetings with in game friends.

I'm looking for some topic ideas. If you have one you'd like to see posted, please drop me a line!

I have met with about 6 people from game. All of them guildies, it's actually funny to see how small the world really is sometimes. Within my guild/alliance I had found that over 8 people visit my state, Michigan. My guildies actually came to Michigan from NJ/NY for camping trips, though I hadn't found this out until they had to stop doing it(families, jobs etc.).

Of the 6 i've met, 4 live within Michigan. Though I know about 8-10 or even more live here.
