Oh lucky me. :P
"Semantic disconnect" best describes this. I agree with the

With regard to EQ here, you really lose me. I chat *during combat*,
and specifically look for opponents and build the right group so
that gameplay looks like this:
a. Find a mob.
b. Bring the mob to the group.
c. Kill it.
And repeat - with no "rest period" per se - no time where we're all
just sitting around waiting for mana or whatever. The Casters
meditate during combat and while I'm pulling a mob.
We chat and socialize in step 'c' there. I *can't* chat while I'm
pulling a mob, because I need the keyboard to move (but pulling a
mob takes mere seconds, so that's not all that big a deal).
For people using gamevoice or the like, the chatting is non-stop
during all of the above.

Right, and since I tend to socialize while in combat, this is where
you're losing me.

Well, there is the point that combat in EQ consists of pressing the
'A' button and then waiting for your opponent to die. Every few
seconds I might tap 'KICK', but apart from that, there's more
opportunity to chat in combat than there is while, say, travelling.
Most of the socialization I did in UO was while chopping trees and
carving bows. Walking from tree to tree, hitting the "carve" button
(a macro setup to stand there a while and carve all the wood), and
chatting willy-nilly all the while (generally not chatting while
carving, even though that was the "downtime", because the spam
prevented me from communicating during that time).
Walking back to town to sell the bows was a big chunk of downtime,
but again I couldn't socialize while doing that - we were on the
move.

Right, and we don't talk then. No socializing while running from
one close spawn to another. We socialize once we get there and
start killing the critters. Talking while moving is hard, and all
that.

I tend to play EQ like an arcade shoot-em-up game. :P

I never thought of myself as being THAT much of a GoP player.

And now we're back in agreement. Bring people together to achieve
some goal in the same space, and they may hang out there and
socialize for a bit rather than rushing off as soon as the copier
spits out their copies.

And I agree with that. I think "Downtime is required for
socialization" is maybe just not the best way to express this idea,
though.
It's not *just* downtime. It's opportunity to communicate (nothing
prevents us from communicating - no carving spam or the fact that
you need your keyboard for something else at the moment, etc.),
shared-location, shared-purpose ("I want to repair armor. You have
broken armor. Let's chat." - or even "I'm killing rats. You're
killing rats. Let's chat.").
i.e. Two guys in the sewer killing rats will socialize while they
are killing rats. When one of them gets tired and needs to rest, he
pops over to the rest area and sits on his butt, waiting for hp's.
They socialized while they were killing rats, and not while they
were experiencing the joys of downtime. Quite possibly, they
socialize while they are killing rats *and* while they are waiting
to recover hps. Either way, there's a disconnect between downtime
and socialization.
To simply say that socialization requires downtime strikes me as a
gross over-simplification. It doesn't seem to me that the downtime
is the reason people are socializing. Coincident troughs, maybe.
And possibly coincident peaks as well. - On socialization and convenience Freeman, Jeff
