    Default Does your persona change when you game?

    When you game, lets say in a PvP game, does your persona change? Do you go from being a pacifist to a totally aggressive person?

    I'm not really aggressive in real life, im pretty laid back actually. But when I game, I am very PvP oriented because I enjoy challenge and competition to where you could almost consider me a griefer ( i will rarely camp someone at spawn unless I have hate towards them). But If you're questing, half dead, or what ever..best believe I will attack you on site regardless of the circumstances. Just for the thrill.

    what about you?

    Yes. I find League of Legends really tends to bring out the arrogant-jerk aspect of myself

    Yeah I won't lie and admit that I have a little ego hidden inside that likes to pop out when I play certain games lol.

    But I usually just keep it to myself instead of taking it out on players in games.

    Not really. I'm just as feminine in real life as I am in gaming. I don't think I've ever played an MMO where someone wasn't completely shocked to find out that I'm actually a man. Similarly, I've encountered soo many people who were completely shocked to find out that I'm actually straight.
    I'm as open in games as I am irl, whereas I treat everybody I meet as if they're somehow close to me and I'll tell them anything .
    To my own dismay, I spend most of my gaming time helping others and, also to my dismay, I've thrown away several goals to help others irl.
    On top of all that, I'm as irritable and stubborn in games as I am irl lol. There are soo many little things that can piss me off, and I will hold a grudge like no other for... at least an hour.

    You make yourself sound like a cute person.

    Personally I'm more the less the same both in real life like in games. Depending on the game, I can be reliable and helpful, but at the same time I won't think for a single moment before taking someone out if I need to.

    Only time I'm really aggressive is when I play shooters and I know I'm not the only one lol.

    (League of legends)

    anything outside of that, I'm a gamer that wants everything to be perfect.
    I am very calm and try to explain people how things need to be done ^^

    I'm a pacifist in real life and also in games (completely avoid PVP and tell people they should not fight each other =p). But I'm less shy ingame than I'm in real life.

    I am probably more helpful in games than I am in real life. I tend to be pretty lazy.

    The only thing I see me doing more than I normally do IRL is be more generous.

    I do not change facades or anything else like that.

    Wait... to think about it, I guess it depends on the game and community within the game.

    Usually when I play games online I tend to speak in a much more intellectual manner than I usually do in real life.
