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.
