The Daily Grind: Do you dig MMO merchandise?
With the success of Blizzard's World of Warcraft, we've seen MMO merchandise not only on the web, but actually making it to malls. (For example, the J!nx WoW gear at Hot Topic.) Of course, one could argue that this is really a blessing in disguise as many parents and grandparents may not be willing to buy items online, but will spend time in a mall without fuss -- thus ensuring you actually get some gifts you're going to enjoy. (Or at least making it slightly more likely, anyway.)
As an MMOer, do you like the concept of people running around in their MMO gear (like t-shirts, ball-caps and the like) or is that a shade too geeky to you? Did you ever spot someone sporting MMO gear and compliment them on their choice? Alternately, have you ever purchased any kind of MMO tie-in merchandise, like comics, figurines, or coffee-table art books instead of wearables because wearing game stuff was too much? If you haven't picked up any game goodies, what kinds of things would make you more inclined to pick something up?
