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've kept in contact outside the game (email, phone, skype) but I haven't met anyone in person from the game that I didn't already know. Just too many miles between us.

i am in california, a guy i use to play with pretty often was up in washington
out of college i had an interview for a job near him. the company was willing to fly me up but not put me up for the night, id have to fly back the same day. not really a big deal, but the guy said i could stay the night with him and he would pick me up from the airport, drop me off for the interview and all that.
the weird thing was he trusted me to stay at his place, he had a wife and young child.

I've met a few.
Went to Vegas with a couple of guys.
Then a couple of brothers that I played with lived in the same city as me. Went to their place, had a couple beers. I can't imagine I freaked them out too much.
