Why do forum people hide who they are in game?

[Rager and Quitter]

Is it like a minigame to figure out who is who in game? Or are you scared people will know who you are and harass you in Norrath? I guess it also has something to do with people having multiple forum accounts they use, which is sad. Why would you need more than one forum account?

Everquest and Forumquest are two very different games, further explanation below:

I like the way you explain things.

My forum name is the same exact name in-game.

I've had random send me tells in game telling me crazy (understandable).

I'm 180 degrees a different person in game than on the forum. I'm polite, generous, and respectful in game.

I agree having multiple forum accounts is weird

Some people might worry any political or other controversial opinions expressed might cause issues within their guild. Even for Leftists who have political opinions that are generally pushed by mainstream media, Hollywood, etc as socially acceptable, they may still be worried about alienating any potential conservative guild members. If the poster is a conservative, then concern for pissing guildmates off in game for WrongThink is much more valid IMO

I also don’t post my char name to not be harassed but anyone interested can PM me and I happy to share

If my guild kicks me for my political opinions - I wouldn't want to be in that guild anyway, so good.

Right now I'm playing Rawryllaneth the Drowned Princess Sword of Prexus fear my scantily leather clad bikini, for this one time it is thematically accurate armor for a merfolk.

You can come visit me in qeynos. I am not very strung, my trusty rusted weapons carry tetnis and I am friend to all. I shall not slay you because I probably cannot slay you. Let's be friends.
