Weird thing, and I hope it's not as strange as It sounds... I met someone who wanted to trade but actually only wanted to sell some low level items. I didn't buy any because 1000 gp is too hard to come by and the items are all drops from the first few levels. But then he invited me to join him in a game, and went into a level I haven't gotten to yet. This is where it got weird. As we went into battle he asked if I was a boy or a girl. I figured it was because I was an elf enchantress, so I said "boy". Then, about 20 minutes later as I was saying "cya" to the party, he asked why I was leaving and I said, "work". Then he goes, "Are you an adult man?" I was like "sure". And he replies, "I'm a young boy." I didn't think age mattered, considering the very strict rules we have on appropriateness, and I just replied "Well, age doesn't matter, besides I am a total Noob to MMOs and you've probably been playing them for years." Then I just bailed.
But it made me feel weird. I don't think a kid should say that he's a kid online in a public place. It's too dangerous.
And frankly, my iPad cost me $829. It didn't occur to me that people who don't have that kind of money would be around. I guess, yeah, if you're using a iTouch, maybe a hand-me-down... Still, though nothing was inappropriate, it did weird me out. I felt I had given up my "a" and my "s" and if I didn't run away fast I would be asked for my "l". Or maybe it was a Fed (if so, then good, and thanks!)
Anyway, it's probably nothing.
