Meeting people is easy

You know that old bit about the introverted, socially awkward geek who goes online and becomes a type-A chatterbox, exudes charm and charisma, and hillarity ensues (because it always does)?

Yeah, not so much here.

New guilds freak me the heck out. I play less, I say less, I blog less (sorry), I find weird things to do (alone) like critter-hugging achievements when I am online.

The truth is, I am so bad at dealing with new people that I probably wouldn't be in a guild at all were I not able to just go and join whatever guild Eric is in most of the time.

But ironically, I really hate playing the game when I am not in a guild. I get bored with solo content, with achievement farming, rep grinds, completionism, and the whole solo player thing. I like instances and (small) raids and green chat that I can be snarky in.

So there it is, the only way I can have the environment in-game that I want or need in order to enjoy the game is to endure the transitions that I find most unpleasant and uncomfortable.

Some hobby. I should have taken up knitting.
