Week 6: 2/2

The final question I have to answer is about in game behavior and real life, namely how closely do the two resemble each other.  Overall, I would say I don't notice too much of a difference.  When talking with people, trading, grouping up, etc, people are usually fairly agreeable.  I will admit that players are more hostile when they have little knowledge of you or they are more prone to purposefully aggravating players.  The anonymity encourages players to be much ruder to those they don't know, sometimes to the point of purposefully dragging down everyone's performance.   Behavior like this is few and far between though and it's usually something minor.  If people are friends, or have a greater bond together like that of a guild, then their outlook completely changes and it's like someone you meet every day at school or work.  For the most part everyone gets along and there may be the occasional person that annoys you, but it's a pleasant experience all the same.
