Okay, storytime.

I have a friend that works at a small-town internet provider. He is someone I previously tried to get into the game, so he knows about it. One day he calls me up telling me a customer came in asking about the reliability of their internet connections because he plays EvE as a capital ship pilot. Without missing a beat I said, “What’s his character name? I’m flying to a locator agent right now.”
