MMO’s have a way of getting in your head unlike any other game. I mean you have to think of all the people you interacted with in your guild on a regular basis, and instantaneously you lose all those possible friends and folks you’ve grouped with. Depends on how immersed you are in the game, but I remember I used to play Elder Scrolls Online pretty devoutly years ago and was in a guild with quite a few folks I talked to and interacted with daily. I never got booted, but when I stopped playing I remember a feeling of loss since I’d suddenly been divested of all these folks that I knew fairly well.

It’s all basically a more immersive form of social media. I know plenty of people who would probably have the exact same reaction if someone removed them from Facebook suddenly.

Not going to be the crown jewel in this thread or anything, but I must have been 19 at the time and had been in a guild up and coming into their own. Major stuff was happening and I was on the cusp of being a major player in our raid scene and had ambitions of getting that phat lewt.

We wiped on some trash in CoM and I went on a teenage rant about how everyone sucked and this isn't going to cut it and no one deserved to lick my boot and whatever else I could think of to try and "motivate" them.

Well the guild leader kicked me right there and I was crushed. He laid into me good and all my dreams of raid pixels were instantly obliterated.

Hi tethler! I just took some time off from gaming because work got real busy and so I was just preoccupied.

I almost quit life and moved to the mountains to play green though instead, which would have been the craziest thing I've ever done because of EQ but, instead I chose to just be normal [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Haha I forgot to tell you guys why I cried, it's even more embarrassing. I deleted a +7 charisma torch I looted in lavastorm on my level 11 necro.

It was my most prized possession.

Back in 2001 or so, I met a woman on Everquest (Brell Serilis server) and we hit it off. I was enlisted in the Marines at the time, and like a dumb and young Marine Lance Corporal, I took leave and flew to California for a few days to visit her. Amusingly, she wasn't kidding about being a hot model (she was stunning), but she also ended up being really freaking crazy in person. Like really crazy. Our fling didn't last very long, and looking back all these years later, I can barely believe that I did something so dumb and impulsive. It was fun while it lasted though. I blame Everquest. :-P

The craziest thing ive done because of EQ was evolve aliases from it. I randomed a character named Tonax on Rallos Zek server.

I made an alt saying I liked the nax somehow made Senax.

On Diablo 2 Senax was taken so I made Cenax. I said I like how that looked better so started using it.

Eventually a wrestler named John Cena became popular and everyone kept asking me John Cena questions and thinking I was a fan and all the jokes fell flat with me I stuck to just Cen.

As more people asked the meaning instead of the long explanation I just said the phonetics and said it stands for Charlie Echo November. When I started doing pornography and one guy told me to use a less boring name then my own I went with Charles November. This all happened because of EQ
