I meet people on the forums pretty much every time I log on. I've gotten tons of friends from here through Nolani Academy and the Screenshot Exposition forums who keep in touch with me ingame as well.
Sometimes I might bump into random people that I recognize from the forums, and end up saying hi.

Finding that the NF Green Pricecheck thread mod (Kobey) was an Officer in my new guild was quite cool. Then another time he was trading with LeviGarett, the weapon mod PC guru

Quite often I see people from guru or gameamp. Gameampers are easier to spot becuase they're in the AMP guild.

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 received a few whispers in-game from people and through that made a few good friends in-game resulting from posting around this forum. Having said that, there are some people I most certainly would not want to meet...arguments would be started, and I would have to make room on my ignore list for new people...
A great game to play is to go to the International District where Gaile Gray is and watch out for people you might recognise...

I'm getting stalked in RA >.>
fenix
I've seen a few in game, sold stuff to a few, and played with a few. It's easier to play with Guru members than randoms, and they're easy to contact too :P
allience
i play with some ppl that post on the pvp forums. i met them in game before i registered on guru and then i correlated them with some guru ids.
it happened that i flamed some without realising we're pvp pals XD

Mournblade
Not counting the people from the Auction house, I've seen two or three forum members in-game. I've seen Zinger (long time ago when the 'ask me ANY question' thing was new. hehe), grouped with X of Thulcandra and Don Corleone... I'm quite sure i've seen more but just didn't recognize their IGN.
Toffin
I have played with a few from the forums but the most memorable is about almost 2 years ago a guildie (Fates Hands a.k.a. Soul Torn still trying to get him to play again.) asked me to go to THK with him and Racthoh. Racthoh was out by himself tanking all the mursaat and I so wanted to pull the lever on the catapult... Like I said it was a long time ago, don't know if he remembers... The days go by fast when your having fun.. I see a lot of the GWGuru people in Kamadan when Gaile is on, but usually if I see someone from the forums I usually do a /bow to them and move on... My way of saying Hi and goodbye in one swoop. Til I see yall around.

Celest always seems to Run off if i see her around in game *crys*Ive seen a few members guru here and there especially during big events like Halloween, Winterday and i saw quite a few on the ATS Test Server. Oddly enough none of them seem to notice me
Giga Strike
I either never see them, or dont realise its them. i dont remember meeting up with anyone from guru ever.

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?
Yes, but most of it was from when I was in LA although I got it quite alot when leading HA teams.
or did you join a group because you recognized someone in the group as being a poster here?
Yes but only because they knew me or I was friends with them
Would you join a group just based knowing someone from a forum?
Yes but only if they knew me or I was friends with them
Would you stop and chat in game if you noticed someone from this forum?
No, unless I know them already

Noanoa
Yes, when I come and demand for money (is an arthag who does commissions over at the art section). So yes I've got a long list of new acquaintances on my friendliest, mostly commissioners but also random people who've started to chat with me ingame.
Mostly it's been the other way around though, I've spotted here on the forums several random players I've known through guilds or hanging out in Jea.

SotiCoto
I've only encountered people already on my friends list knowingly.... people who I have arranged to add to that list.... but have still managed to randomly run into. I've also randomly encountered my guildies in certain places too.... though they have certain areas they like to hang out (Nahpui Quarter for one)...
But random people from the boards?
I honestly wouldn't know.
There are many people like me who don't use their webnames as their character names.

As for me:
Unintentionally, no.
But I randomly PM people to see how bad they rage, does that count?
The sad part is, people think I'm serious >_O?
big papi
some guy named racthoh is the leader of my guild....does he post here?
SuperDave
Only seen one person. We formed a PUG to do some Ring of Fire missions in Hard Mode. Our PUG sadly disbanded soon after that
DreamCatcher
I've met quite a few that I can remember. Most noticable would be Shanaeri Rynale who I first saw post in a thread about europe not having enough favor and that name stuck as I was opposed to this unfair fact myself. Later (maybe half a year later or so) I met her in ToA, did a random invite and she accepted and we had a terribly easy FoW trip. I noted the dvdf tag and maybe a year or so after that while I was in Shing Jea int1 to see Gaile I met someone else with that tag, did a random invite and he accepted and we had a conversation that lasted for hours! Few days later I was in dvdf myself 
I met others, many of who have taken up permanent residence in pre searing like Maxiemonster.
For some reason I have Zilten Zatin on my fl but cant remember how we met, perhaps we met in a PUG. A few others I've met ingame include Glacius Cool, Suicidal Romance (or exonmore here, was banned from guru a few times iirc) and I'm possitive that I'm forgetting most others I've met.
Btw my name doesn't reflect any of my ign's

vergerefosh
I've met some, Tali from giveaways
But not grouped with any, or really seen any large number

Lynxius
Ive met a few people from the forums ingame. 
Most were artists from the Nolani Arts Section that i had to pay for their commissions.
And occasionally a face here and there recognizes me, its not very often though.

samcobra
gogo QQ forums. I play with people I see there all the time. I don't trust people on GWG forums though, because there's a bunch of idiots. FLAMEBAIT away!
chembaron
almost everyone in my alliance is a regular here
ryanryanryan0310
I seen alot of guru members in game. Play with some and random chat with others. If you do the elite missions you see alot of guru members there, international 1.
Most of [SMS] are members of guru and the old alliance guilds. That Racthoh guy doesn't play nicely cause he's a meany.........

Played with a lot of people on here, and have pugged a few missions/done vanquishing with people on the guru IRC channel recently. More people should come on IRC and make groups.
