My character connection is based on those around me. If something interesting is going on, I can usually find a way to interject where appropriate. If left to myself, I generally get bored and move on to another game.
Example: Last night, I was about to log off for the night when I noticed someone else had come online that I was waiting for. I went out to the Quicksand to engage her. 3 hours later, it's 1am and I'm surrounded by 5 other people because things only escalated from there.
