Well, considering I'm mostly playing WoW so that I have something to do with my friends, I don't mind dividing my time between who ever happens to be around at any given time. If and when I make a character for the sheer sake of leveling up, I'll likely make it a solo charrie just so that if I have the urge to grab for that next level at 4am, I'm not bugging the hell out of everyone else...or getting way ahead or way behind them.
I'm considering this my version of going out to a real bar with friends and/or looking for people I don't know, since my friends all seem to be a bit out of town...and gaming has almost always been a social function with friends for me.
...Yeah, I realize that buys a bit into the 'inept middle-ager living in the parental basement because they have no social skills' stereotype, but since most 'social' skills right now would involve kissing a lot of 'frogs' in real life before meeting some 'royalty', I think I can live with the 'shut-in' reputation (I was never much of a partier type, anyway).
That, and most of the people doing tabletop in my area are younger and...generally obnoxious from my viewpoint. :/
