Do you talk about 'Outside' with players outside this sub?
Since almost every player seems to have chosen the [Forget it's a game] feature when starting their characters, there aren't many of us who think of the game as a game... Maybe 1% of players at the very most, but I'd guess far fewer.
Do you have any friends & family who you have these conversations with? Maybe y'all help each other map out quests and skill leveling or something like that?
I've been talking about it for so many years now that many of my friends make comments about this gaming trope or that achievement they unlocked, so I feel like I'm sort of spreading the idea to other players that way.
I've met just a few people along the way, maybe half a dozen, who were already remembering the game and thinking of things this way.
**Secondary Question:** How do you think it would change the game world if the number of players who remember that we're playing *Outside* jumped to 5%, 10%, or even more, of the player base?
