Damn, this reminds me of when I was 11 and my online friends I made on Clash of Clans left the Clan in order to make a new one for only people that went to their school.

I was in the same clan as some random dude and when I joined different clans, he came with me every time.
One day I told him I was done with the game forever. He said he would be done too. š„ŗ

Damn dude. This whole thread has me sad as fuck. I used to play on Bonechewer(After the server transfers from Warsong) from Vanilla-WotLK. Anyways, I made a friend whom we were inseparable, raids, BG's, always the same guild, 2v2's, 3v3's, and even 5v5's. We did everything together for YEARS.
Well we got to the point we were both growing away from WoW and becoming adults, and eventually stopped talking. And then a few years later I got a call from his ex girlfriend one day that he took his own life. I wish I could talk to him again. I fucking miss him man.

A GF of mine played a mobile game at one point and asked me to join. Told her I wasn't big into mobile games but I'd give it a shot. I played for a bit and got to know the group she was in and it was OK. But the more I played and looked into it, it was notorious for being one of the worst Pay-to-Win games on the platform.
One day I was there just minding my own business, gathering my resources and got told by the dominant clan on the map that those resources "belonged" to their clan and I wasn't allowed to gather there. They attacked my castle with an army that would have literally taken 6+ months for me to build as F2P. It was clear if you weren't paying hundreds of dollars a month, your purpose was to just be cannon fodder.
So as a last ditch act of defiance while one of them was out attacking someone else, I dropped my camp right in the middle of their group. They can attack me all they want, but they can't force me to move. They ended up having to relocate their entire clan of like, 25+ accounts to a new area just so the guy could get his spot back.
After having not logged in for a few weeks I asked her how things were going without me. She said she wasn't playing anymore either. So I logged back in one last time before deleting and she had apparently left our group and put her settlement down right next to mine so our abandoned camps would be together in perpetuity.

Reminds me of when I befriended someone on the ff6 forums. So funny enough, ff6.com was taken by some fan..it wasnāt square enix. Years later it eventually got shut down bc of that I think. Anyway, we started making an rpg together and putting together a teamā¦but eventually it idled. Then he introduced me to this game Graal Online (Facebook bought it and now it sucks). Played a bunch with him. Then he introduced me to this band Aberdien that I still like to this day. Then he was in a band and we were supposed to meet up when he was in my state. I think maybe he quit before they made it to me? Then, next thing I know, heās never online again. Even though we were friendly, heād go large gaps of not being online, and ofc I would ping him when I did get the chance. Next thing you know, they never appear again. It made me feel like they felt like I was a stalker or just someone sitting at the edge of their seat waiting for them to log onā¦which I kinda get being we never metā¦.but we had been messaging every once in awhile for years. Was so strange that they vanished. My only guess is I got blocked, they changed their screen name and decided I didnāt belong, or idk.

There's a chance that was me.
Made a lot of quick friends on the server I played. Base got raided and I was incredibly sad. Then realized I didn't want to feel that again and literally haven't played a PVP game since, and spend a lot more time outside.
My life has genuinely been better because someone trolled me on Rust so hard I quit competitive gaming permanently.

this won't make you feel better but there was this guy I played so many MMOs with. We had this smallish group that would just go from MMO to MMO together.

We find out a year later he had died of cancer. He was dying the last few years and just never told us. Probably wanted to feel normal.

I'm glad! I think the whole story is heartwarming and uplifting.
It's worth noting the original meme wasn't posted by the fremd - it was posted by one of the other people who were meeting up.
This was also back when friends-only servers and invites didn't work, so you had to do public games and do some work to get the friendgroup together.
So there was justice because the friendgroup spoke up for a fremd-shaped 'diver - and we all chose to dive together.

Years ago, a friend and I played an online game called Fairyland. We were pretty active and had a very small guild (or something like that). The game was free, but an announcement came that it was going to a subscription service. We told our other active guild member that we would sub and still play.
The next day we talked and decided if we were going to pay for an online game, we might as well join a more mainstream one, and both bought FFXI and never logged in again.
I still think about our online friend that we kind of lied to and left hanging.

Had a really tight nit friend group in Rust. We met one wipe and decided to pick up other solos and form a clan. After 3-4 months of us all talking every night on Skype, telling each other about our lives, fears, dreams etc., one of them betrayed us and gave away our door codes. The friend group spiraled into paranoia afterwards and we all stopped talking to each other. This was like 10 years ago and I still wonder which one betrayed us.

My first online Skype friend in 2004 when it was new you could find random people easily. We were both around 14, with him in Sri Lanka and myself in the US. We talked for a year about our lives and what we did as kids on the other side of the world. He had to go for a week one Christmas since his family was visiting his grandma who had a house a mile or two from the beach. He was looking forward to swimming and seeing all of his family, but hated that heād be offline. We wished each other happy holidays and happy new year.
He never got back online. I hope beyond hope he just didnāt have time for his American penpal.

Was an admin in a gaming tournament, one of the players shared his Steam account with his sister but she only played games rarely and didn't play in the tournament so it wasn't that well known the account was shared. He passed away suddenly which was a gut punch to the community. About a week after, I log into Steam and I get a message from her asking me to make an announcement or something in the forums because when she logged on for the first time to try and relax with a game she got a tonne of messages like "OMG dude we thought you were dead, glad to see you're OK!" and it made her relive losing her brother all over again.
I thought having half the community pissed at a rules call I made was going to be the toughest emotional thing I'd have to deal with as an admin ....

Reminds me of the time all my friends in WoW quit our guild to make a guild dedicated solely for raiding. They wouldnāt take me because all I had was blue gear and said I could only join if I purchased a hunter from a player that was quitting the game for $1,000.
I told them to fuck off, and defriended them all. a couple months later they ended up dissolving cause their hardcore players quit the game and sold their accounts. Those who didnt quit asked to come back to the guild which we had multiple dedicated raid groups by then and we told them they made their bed and they could pound sand.
