Solacing

Solacing (verb): An emergent digital custom where an individual deliberately logs into a voice channel on a community platform, specifically as a prelude to slumber or commencing an indefinite hiatus from active engagement (colloquially known as "going AFK" - Away From Keyboard).

This practice symbolizes a modern ritual of seeking virtual companionship, wherein the user finds comfort in the ambient presence of online comrades, basking in the soft glow of distant conversations. It's a digital lullaby for the connected soul, a bridge between the realms of consciousness and the quietude of absence.

AFK at Orgrimmar: Chris, known for his 'Solacing' habits, falls asleep in the voice channel after a long day of questing. His snores become a legendary background noise in Orgrimmar, as guild members jokingly attempt to trade him in the Auction House for rare mounts.
