Being recognized in game from the Forums

[Kosmos992k]

Coming into this thread late because I haven't had time to play or post much recently, but as usual, I do when time permits.

Several times i have run into people on my server who recognize me from the Forums. Sometimes they are folks who agree with many things I say even on topics such as Parsers, sometimes it's folks who disagree completely with me. But it's always a pleasant experience and a reminder that many more players read the forums than post to them.

So, thanks to all who read and remember the names/faces of those on the forum. I hope you feel like posting here yourself one day.

I ran into someone I recognize on the forums awhile back.

Was the only PVP match I won that night too, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was the SCH in Selli's party in VA (where she was the best MNK tank since our tank got locked out for the last boss). I was going to say something but thought that might be weird!

"Hey don't I know you from the internet"

I totally posted about that in the DF thread after it happened! It was exciting pretending to be a tank (even though I was internally screaming in fear over the idea of losing aggro the whole time XD). It went a lot smoother than I expected, thank you for your amazing heals. I "eenie meenie minie moe"d (I may or may not have had to look up how to spell that) between you and the other healer for my commendation, but I don't remember which one of you two got it. ^.^"

You should have totally said something! I don't find it weird at all, I love meeting people from the forums! It's like being in a cross-server linkshell or club and finally being able to party together.

I've never had anyone call me out before. I have seen Selli a few times on Seal Rock, but she was on the opposing team, so I could only speak with Fell Cleaves. ;3

LOL. I feel like I mighta jumped on you body before. XD I don't appreciate being smacked around. :P

We had a Mael once who knew us and he kept waving at us, so we didn't kill him and he just tagged along with us, LOL. We ended up all dancing on a node at one point, it was pretty funny. His team was not impressed and he got vote kicked, though. XD

Y U GOTTA BE AN ADDER. D: Stahp that. </3

I've seen the duskwight with the pink hair around. I had this odd feeling that he was familiar when I saw his avatar but I wasn't sure... and there he was just today!

Dunno who that good lookin' cat is, but the win was probably due to the good DRK if anything!

[Mithrahn]

I've seen all the Hyperion posters in game. Never played or talked with them though.

Are you sure you've seen all of them?
I'm... pretty hidden ingame.


Edit: On topic, I see Canadane almost everyday in the Novice Network. (on my alt)
Pretty much almost the only person I actually recognise, but I don't converse, and have never called out~

I was recognized once which is the only time I am aware of but I don't personally recognize people from here because I have character names turned off in game due to how much clutter everyone's names on screen make, it only shows me people's names when in group with them, if in my friends list or if I select them. I probably come across as slightly rude not noticing who is around me because I don't see people's character names in general so I should probably turn names back on outside of raids/dungeons and such now as I have altered my HuD layout and should be less of a problem at this stage.
