I had a bit of a flip flop of this story.
While I've been doing various sorts of gaming for too, too long, I'd not tried any MMOs until my old boss pulled me into one. My previous IT job was with a very close-knit department filled with geeks and hobbyists and fanboys and fangirls of all sorts, and the head of IT and his facilities supervisor were heavy into Guild Wars, and went recruiting for their guild. I figured, well, it's something with the office, why not. I tried that, and then followed them into LOTRO, and thus launched a new chapter in my Game Life.
So, I WAS the coworker who was pulled in to play. Only a couple of people at my current office are gamers, but that's enough.

"But in the laugh there was another voice. A clearer laugh, an ironic laugh. A laugh which laughs because it chooses not to weep."
