Not MMO gaming, but at two of my old jobs I managed to rope a majority of the staff into tabletop RPGs. Â Many of them had never played, but most of them were hooked after that. Â The one restaurant I worked at was closed on Sundays and Mondays, so the owner's son would let us all come in and game, as well as providing free sodas and appetizers to snack on. Â
I have, however, unintentionally convinced a few nurses to start playing MMOs. Â I'm in the hospital frequently with my health issues, and I will sometimes talk about some of the games I play while I'm getting worked up or blood drawn and such. Â Every once in a while I'll be in and one of the nurses will tell me they tried out one of the games I mentioned. Â I know at least one of them actually gave FFXIV a shot because I mentioned it multiple times. Â She was already a fan of the FF franchise in general, but had never played an MMO before and was a little iffy about trying it until I apparently hyped it up. Â I wasn't even trying to recruit, I was just talking about how fun it was and how certain aspects are similar to other games in the series to take my mind off the fact I had needles in me.
