Mostly just having fun, maybe a little rubbing it in

But I’ll stop now. That is unless Teako wants to come in at some future point talking shit again, then I’ll be…

Oh I’ll address the embarrassing and cringe parts here

I have to disagree. But I’ll explain why. Granted, it is indeed a hassle to accept money from me, download the game, log in, screenshot, and upload proof of one’s claims. The entire process could take 15-20 mins

However

By coming back into the thread Teako demonstrated 2 things: 1. A desire to insult me (no judgement there I’ve had quite a lot of fun insulting him) and 2. A desire to save face after accusations by me by reminding myself and everybody reading that he does indeed have what he claims to have

Now what would be the ultimate both insult and face saving move? To present proof and shove it in my face

So when we consider the angle of “I’m too cool to have to show proof of my claims” and/or “you’re not worth it” angle he’s trying to lean into, it just doesn’t hold as much water considering he’s already demonstrated a desire to insult me and save face already

In retrospect, if he would have stayed gone and not come back in an attempt to save face, that would have been a better move. Or really, don’t lie about yourself on the internet to sound cool. That should be the real takeaway. Because someone is eventually going to call you on your bs, and then it’s really handy to have some way to prove it

Hmm this reminds me. I wonder if I have screenshots of my Deathcharger Reins and Time-Lost Proto-Drake? The game is long uninstalled but I tend to save screenshots and I do still have that old hard drive.

You probably do

My quitting WoW story I guess is also a bit of a personal growth experience: the risks of being too type A/competitive

After we got and held rank 1, I was convinced we were the best in the US. This was a time WoW was possibly going to become an e-sport, and there was talk about teams getting sponsored. I was posting about our success on the official forums, and the consensus was that if you weren’t in battlegroup 9 (a collection of servers that compete against each other in BG’s and arenas), then you weren’t the best. Apparently two servers in particular, Blackrock and Tichondrius, had a reputation for having hyper-competitive pvp teams. There was a migration of battlegroup’s best arena teams to BG9 in attempts to prove they were the absolute best in the USA

So of course, my team all transferred. And it turns out, competition on BG9 was indeed fierce. We were rank 1 with a 90%ish win rate on BG1 when we left, but on BG9 we got cockblocked/stalled out around rank 13-14ish. We could break into the top 20, but not even the top 10, at least initially. This caused high levels of nerd rage, arguing amongst each other, and that caused burnout. Our team of multiple years broke up only like 2 weeks after we xferred due to 2 of our players quitting. Had we had better communication and coping/adjusting, we may have been able to get top 10, maybe even sponsored

But looking back, I’m glad it ended there (I quit then). I also was able to turn around a lot of RL issues after quitting. I did eventually meet and hang out with my old team multiple times in CA. One of our members was fairly rich and would drop $1000’s on a single night out with us, was good times. Lost contact with them years ago tho unfortunately

Did any of you ever play Final Fantasy 11? I remember really enjoying it for all the same reasons I enjoy EQ.

I kind of consider it the last of the old-school MMOs in terms of the time commitment and required and grinding. It also had the same XP loss upon death that EQ had. I think you had to loot your body as well, but my memory is hazy on that.
