I know what you mean, Frost. I met someone in person who I'd played EverQuest with for nearly a year, and it was so hard to stop calling him 'Handin' -- his character's name. It felt wierd to call him by his actual name -- "Aryan." Sometimes the fake names just seem more real. I have a friend who calls me "Jinn" often enough that someone who'd just met me thought my name was Jim; hilarity ensued as I tried to figure out why they thought my name was Jim.
