Paperboy Posts: 14 Joined: 8 Feb 2008     | Oh the things our characters would say if they could talk. All we can hope is that ours won't have too much to complain about... Awesome story though, poor HaxxorBoi. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1192 Joined: 6 Oct 2008     | Y'know, I always wondered what our MMO characters do when we're not around. I figure they get drunk, or snort mana wyrms in the case of my blood elf characters in World of Warcraft. Or maybe play World of Earthcraft. And poor, poor HaxxorBoi. I mourn for your lost linguistics skills. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 188 Joined: 2 Apr 2009    | What a great story. Very funny and engaging. I want more! |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 489 Joined: 9 Dec 2008    | I assume the one guy who talked in Ye Olde Fantasae-Englishe was from a role-playing server? Nice story, way to rope in the tropes. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1700 Joined: 11 Jan 2009  | I found it funny how the title holds the phrase "Looking For Group", and the guy who wrote it's name is Richard. Interesting read, though. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1850 Joined: 27 Apr 2009    | I loved every second of this - very funny (and depressingly true) stuff, man! I wonder what my character's thinking about me... |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1670 Joined: 31 Mar 2008   | I feel a very real urge to apologize to my Necromancer in Guild Wars for a number of things. Things like deaths I tried my best to avoid for one, but mainly for the fact at all the armor that's available for her profession makes her look like some sort of fetish enthusiast. I am so sorry about that, Selene. I really am... |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 805 Joined: 23 Jan 2009    | I'm glad I don't play any MMOG's so I don't have to worry about scaring some sort of mage with blasting a lvl 100 beast with a lvl -2 spell |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1151 Joined: 7 Dec 2008  | I feel so bad for my WoW characters, they must hate going through raids... ah well. Oh, and hilarious stuff. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 96 Joined: 2 Sep 2008   | Quite amusing. I'd add that I don't even play WoW, but I have enough friends who do that I suppose it's close enough. The funny thing is though, behind it all these characters are reflections of the people who play them, with all their quirks and flaws. Certainly makes for a different angle on human nature. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 521 Joined: 19 Oct 2008  | I feel sorry for my Blood Elf Mage now... That corpse run through the Plaguelands and Ghostlands at level 20 really must have hurt. |
Paperboy  Posts: 14 Joined: 20 Mar 2009   | Now on to the mystery of the Refrigerator Light! But I imagine they sit around and play Lawyers & Litigants, or good old SimCity. |

how said for him, maybe he should die a few times. This makes me want to go play an MMO, but it also makes me feel bad about it... |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 756 Joined: 23 Nov 2008    | I just know my character is most likely a biatch...she deserves every death-wipe she gets. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2304 Joined: 5 Nov 2008 | Wow, this is truly terrifying. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1160 Joined: 13 Aug 2008   | Man I can only hope my little Gnome Tinkerella can forgive me for the amount of times i've thrown her off Waterfalls for the sake of funny Roleplay... Sorry, Tink' :< |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1203 Joined: 25 Nov 2007   | You know, once in a while, I like to imagine what my various characters do when I'm not playing them. Honestly I'd hope they'd never end up in a group like this... 'cause most of them could seriously hurt me if they ever had a way. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 125 Joined: 16 Apr 2009   | Loved it! Although for me, I try to act like I assume my characters would, and I like to give each one their own personality. It just makes it fun for me >w> |
Beat Writer  Posts: 179 Joined: 13 May 2009  | That was really funny. Poor HaxxorBoi. On the other hand, what if our characters are really controlling us? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2581 Joined: 6 Sep 2008    | ...I'm sorry Bloodax, it wasn't me who organised those massive drunken get togethers in Thralls chamber. (Yes it was) |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 510 Joined: 31 Mar 2009    | That was pretty darn funny. I wonder if a book could be written along those lines, something like that old cartoon show Reboot. |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 726 Joined: 8 Jul 2008 | I bet my characters have the time of their lives now. Haven't been Controlling for half a year. I can already see my human warlock, night elf hunter, blood elf paladin, blood elf death knight, tauren druid and my undead rogue all chilling out on the beaches of Stranglethorn. Oh jesus, I just realized how many high-level characters I have. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1748 Joined: 22 Mar 2009   | Harkonnius, Spacelamb, Shamwhoa, Mordhaus, Northeia... I owe all of you an apology. Extremely well done, Hehemann. I look forward to your next contribution(s). |

Looking for Group Therapy
What do MMOG characters do when they're not under players' command? In Richard Hehemann's estimation, they gather together to seek comfort from a cruel, uncaring world they can neither control nor understand.
Brandic stood in the doorway of a small room, filled with chairs arrayed in a circle. He was about to enter when he heard a man - a barbarian fighter by the looks of him - speak.
