Newsletter Discussion: MMOs Spilling Into Real Life?

There's a fun little article in this week's Escapist about a WoW player who finds that the war between Alliance and Horde bleeds into real life. This week, we'd like to know:

Have your experiences in-game in an MMORPG ever affected your real life?

Share your thoughts with us and post in the comment thread!

He's Horde, we've never met in person and I'm dating his sister. Thanksgiving is going to be rough.

This has to be the absolute best line of the whole article.

I have often walked into a conversation of useless (and often inaccurate) discussion and made the comment what did I do walk into "Barren's Chat"? You can't escape MMOs in real life.

Well, I've been driving, going slightly over the speed limit, drove past a speed-trap cop, and thought as I look in the mirror, "Oh Crap! Did I aggro him?"

The fact that online gaming popularized the world n00b and its endless RL applications is major impact!

I can't count how many times I use that word and others in RL now :)
