Sure, on the blush it sounds silly, but people forget that these toons are controlled by real people. You can build a friendship with someone through their toon, it's just as real as a friendship someone has with a 'pen pal' they never meet. Then, for them to drop off the game without knowing how to contact them is a bummer. When I took a break and canceled my account, I in-game mailed my buddy and told him my email address. Waited a few days, then killed the account.

On the same token, this is where people like me get real pissed when some keyboard bada** starts mouthing off. They forget that there's a real person on the other side of the keyboard they're addressing. Just because you cant see the person doesn't make them any less real nor does it give you an excuse not to use the common decency you extend to people you come face to face with.
