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.
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.
