So, I was chatting with one of my real-life friends about setting up a tee-time for tomorrow morning. Mind you, I've only tried to play golf like twice in my life. And, well, let's just say that, to date, I'm better at excavating the course than playing it.
Still, I'm willing to give it another shot.
In the process, though, my friend and I are having a conversation about which course and such. The topic turned to whether we could get a time with only the pair of us, since two of his other friends wouldn't be able to join us.
In an unnervingly similarity to discussions about PUGs in DDO, though, the following happened in the chat window:
(me) "They do allow pairs to play the course, don't they?"
(my friend) "Yeah, but sometimes they match you with other pairs."
(my friend) "I don't really like playing with strangers. Sometimes they are fine, but other times they are just plain weird."
This is precisely why some people like to run solo in DDO. They don't always know what they're getting themselves into. Granted, this behavior is not as social as perhaps an MMO ought to be, but it seems to be human nature.
Still, his statements were unexpected, but funny because of how similar they are to some arguments I've witnessed about whether to PUG in DDO.
My, how life mimics virtuality...
Keep it fun!!!
