I am just curious as to how many of the people posting here on this forum have seen and played with other forum posters.

for example did you get into a group and someone say hey are you "insert forum name here" from Guru?

or did you join a group because you recognized someone in the group as being a poster here?

Would you join a group just based knowing someone from a forum?
Would you stop and chat in game if you noticed someone from this forum?
Or perhaps the opposite?

I have only had one case of someone asking me if I a poster on the ritualist forums. They asked me for a little advice concerning their ritualist, and I was more than happy to help them out with a few suggestions. Other than that one case most players seem to not know Guru exists.

As for the group, depends on the who person is. There are good/bad players and good/bad attitudes here like in the game.

I have never added anyone from the forums to my friends list, so I have no idea if I have 'ran' into or played with any posters.

I've seen quite a few people in game (LA/Kamadan/Kaineng D1 and the first week of DoA).

Well, not counting arranged meetings, I've crossed paths with a few forum posters whose names I recognized. (And i'm sure many more whose names I didn't recognize.)

I can recall seeing Dralspire and Max Gladius in the 9 ring game. Dral was just standing there probably afk. Max was having a conversation with someone else regarding weapon rarity and value. I also spotted Zinger once in Thunderhead Keep.

I didn't stop and chat with any of them. I doubt that I post here often enough that any of them would recognize me.

I've seen a few, but I usually don't bother them. I've spent so much time playing with just henchies, that I kinda freak out when people talk to me. lol

Ever since Nightfall there hasn't been much incentive to group except for missions that are a pain to hench (Gates of Madness the first week Nightfall was out, anyone?).

As such, I think I have only seen a few people from guru.

Dunno if any of them post here as well, but I've bumped into people I see on GWO a few times. I've ran into Zilken Zatin in game a few times, even sold him a lockpick once. Also partied with Fay Vert doing Gain Olias for one of my characters, and ran into Lady Rhonwyn farming the same boss as me during a green drops weekened once. And of course there's the Boat Crew people who are easy to find...

Also one guy once PMed me in game asking if I was DKS01 on Guildwiki(I am), because apparently he'd copied the character templates from my userpage to use on his userpage, and recognized the character I was on.

I talk to people who I meet in the WTB/WTS forum plenty. I've met like Savio, etc because of that. However, since I have 8 characters, unless I'm on one of the 2 listed over on my left <Tk Hawkins or Hawk of Storms> you probablly wouldn't recognize me if you did team up with me.

I have a strange feeling every now and then that I recognize someones name when I see them run past in LA, but I doubt I have ever run into anyone from the forum. Probably the only people I recognize from here are Gaile and Rahja the Thief when I attended the ball

I've seen people from here in-game a couple of times. Both times the only reason I realized they posted here was because they had posted in a thread I had been reading right before I started playing and it was about specific situation that made me recognize them.

Before I took a 5 month break I used to chat it up with Avarre from time to time. I also ran into Zinger in Factions a lot when Fort Aspenwood was full of people.

Long ago (before spirit bond was nerfed) I posted a build for necros that would let you farm a large number of bosses in Cantha. At that point I got contacted by a ton of people in that saw the post in the farming forum and on GuildWiki. After the nerf... not so much.

I've seen quite a few names I recognise from on here, and have a few on my friends list who I chat with on whisper now and then. Very pleasant people they all are too.

I rarely pug, so haven't played with many forum members apart from Jade Quarry mapping.

Not really. But then my forum user name is from my first account which I have pretty much abandoned. I am now trying to tie in all my characters with the "DiDie" tag so my own guild members will recognize me.

One time, I did get a heck of a response, was when I posted myself as looking for a guild in that particular thread, and got a lot of responses.

That someone else may have been me. I was having a conversation with a pc guru during nine rings once.

Can't really say I've seen anyone that I recognize from the forums recently, except for the guest appearance of Faer during the Ascalon ball. Rahja I say hi to alot when he's online. Gotta bug him though next time I see him - The elves are going to pwn Moddok Crevice and he needs to join in.

I've talked to a couple people in-game when they've asked me for build help (it's sooo much easier in-game with the Template Transfer thang), but I haven't really partied with any of them, unfortunately.

Maybe it's 'cause I pretty much only look at the Ritualist forum nowadays.

The whatnow?

I tend to blend in with the shadows, popping from outpost to outpost without much hesitation, so I don't run into too many people from the forums in-game... But when I do, and it's not something that I had planned, it's not always a pleasant meeting. Thankfully, not many people keep track of my PvE character names.

I see forum people.

Met and played with a few people from the forums recently. A number of us in my previous guild had accounts here, but i met them first in the guild. Then sales of course, but I'm not counting that.
