Why does everyone in voice chat have a Southern accent?

I'm not hating. I'm just curious. Do the vast majority of gamers reside in the South? Perhaps it's the times that I play (EST) being more in line with Southern play times?
It's not just limited to WoW, it's every MMO I have ever played. Not to mention all of the kids with Southern accents in certain popular Xbox 360 titles.
What's the deal?

Actually - even though I am in the south - and Many of the people on my server are on the easter seaboard - I meet more Alaskans then Anyone. I guess there isn't much to do up there.
But - yeah - Eastern Time Zone Servers = eastern seaboard. and a lot of folks from Boston =)

When playing FPS I noticed this heavily; in WoW I only see a handful of Southern Accents... I play on an East Coast server even though I live on the West Coast.
I love Canadian accents btw, insanely sexy IMO.

I'm from New England, and played most of my days away there. I just recently moved to Florida for school, and a majority of the guild I'm in is from Florida, but not a southern accent in the bunch.

Before I transferred, I used to play on a Western Server (I'm from Ontario, Canada), and was in a fairly large guild of casuals, and at any time there was about 40 people in the guild vent channel. Of those people that regularily cycled through vent, only one of them had a true southern accent. YMMV.

FPS = guns
Southerners like guns
Southerners play games with guns they wish they had(or do have, but understand you dont shoot real people).
As for MMOs, it's just you are a lucky man/woman. Might just be the guild, might be the server. Might be the time of day.
Who knows... but there are people from all over who play.
Oh, and there are plenty of small towns in the north... east... just not so much the west. Mainly to the fact you crazy fools like to live near water or something, and half your states are deserts. /shrug
But I do miss living out there... No NO! I will stay on topic...

I dare you to come to British Columbia, you'd be astounded by the quantity of small towns :)

Even in the south, EST means EST. Also, guys from Jersey don't have southern accents, so it really isn't everyone, :-P

You do not need to bring stereotypes here.
No kidding, Northerners like guns too.
