The first question for this week is what sort of formal/informal behaviors do I notice in game compared to real life. There are actually quite a few. Verbally speaking, among friends people tend to talk the exact same way. I have yet to notice a change that would surprise you. There are some little things like people can be more rude, or rather a lot more dismissive in a group or trade scenario. If it's an informal event then you can be treated just like a nuisance they can't be bothered with. Formal occasions are a lot better. If it's a group run then people fall in line and quiet down when work needs to be done and chat casually again otherwise.
Non verbally though I have noticed one particular action that I find somewhat funny. If I am talking to a person, and I move my character to be inside their character, or at least right beside them, they have a tendency to move away and get their "personal space" back. This was only really observed when the player was being talked to, otherwise they were fairly oblivious to events.
