I still remember this one friend in high school who I discovered played EQ. Then I told him I was a PvP'er and troll, and even worse for him, I knew Fansy, "the cheater." We didn't talk much about gaming after that.
Most people (non-gamers) I show the websites NotAddicted and NotACult find them to be riots, but when I show friends/players, they think I'm an asshole. It's odd.
