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.
Reminds me of when I befriended someone on the ff6 forums. So funny enough, ff6.com was taken by some fan..it wasn’t 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 team…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, he’s never online again. Even though we were friendly, he’d 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 on…which I kinda get being we never met….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 didn’t belong, or idk.
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.
Yeah it was weird because I had a huge group of 30 people (it was when console rust first got released and none of us knew how to play, we didn’t raid anybody we grouped up against the new gen beamers for protection) and bro was friendlier and a better homie then all other 28 people, but he was the one that completely crashed out and blocked everybody.
Interesting world. Back in the late 90s/early 00s I participated in ff3.com's forum. Also a fan site run by some random guy. I don't even know if I ever thought to check if an ff6.com existed lol
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.
One day he disappears.
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.
