This has a bit of a summer camp feel. People in your instance are your bunkmates, and there are all these other cabins out there full of fellow campers meeting you for meals and fireside stories.
@CraigHStuart @Lissa Just one big daycare.
@Lissa what a great analogy!
@Lissa and we all have to awkwardly break the ice
@Areya Yes! And you're wondering if anyone is going to sit next to you at dinner. And also trying to figure out the group personality of your cabin...the rowdy ones? the artsy ones? the ones who sit up all night trying to scare each other?
@Lissa The big instances with tons of members are the rich preppy camp across the river that just thinks they are "so awesome".
@Lissa and we've all been dropped off on roughly the same day, not knowing hardly anyone.
NEW FRIEND TIME :grin:
