I don't socialize with Era staff mainly because I only play the game on the side, and haven't made any connections with any guilds or staff members in the game. The closest thing to socialization I've gotten on Era (including normal players) was when Lavaclaw popped up in front of me, said 'Seen you on the forums :0' then said he had to go and poofed away. The only other interaction with other players I get is when they pop the noob emoticon when I outgun them. Still have yet to understand this.
