I stopped playing this game about a month after Shadowbringers came out. Lately I've been playing Wow and it's awful. I probably don't have to mention that. This is gonna be a lot, but I need to get it off my chest.
Anyway about I'd say a year ago(around the time there was the free transfers) my FC imploded. I was an officer in the FC and we started losing officers and long time members like hot cakes. Drama insuded and I finally left. I used the opportunity of the free transfers to go to a completely different data center with a few like minded FC mates. We tried to make a new FC and well that didn't last long. We were really unable to grow. We would spam for FC invites/help newbies, but were weren't growing. Well after a couple months of that I decided I had enough with the pressures of trying to build a dead FC and I left again.
This time I went to the data center I'm currently on. See we went from Aether, Primal and then I left alone to Crystal. I needed a fresh new start. In doing so I tried to connect with my old FC as it was still around. Just a little back story I was in this FC back in the beginnings of 2.0 and we had a falling out over the FC leader ignoring new players and being unhelpful to them. So I got in a fight and took my ball and left. But had been so long and I had spoke to some newer members of his FC and they loved it. So I thought maybe I got through to him last time. Sure I burned a bridge, but I didn't do it to cause drama. I just had enough of it. Anyway starting to ramble.
So I came back home so to speak. I was back on my original home realm. Well that bridge I burned all those years ago was still on fire so to speak. I tried to reconnect and got rejected. So there I was FCless friendless and well depressed. I took a long time off hoping that after enough time I would be fine.
Well I'm not. I've tried several times to just pick the game back up and play it, but I can't. I don't know what's wrong with me. I mean I think I have an idea. You see I've been playing mmos for the better part of like 15 years or so. I've been in guilds and I've raided bosses, but I never felt that belonging to the game I played. I never had a deep friendship with anyone I played with like I did my old FC from a year ago. We were like family and I miss all of them greatly even the ones who left on bad terms. They helped me with my self confidence and self esteem issues. Hell I was raid tanking and I liked it. Now I can't even pick up a shield if you follow me. They were my friends. And I know nothing I say will bring them back. That's over and done, but still I miss them.
Sorry for the blog post. I had a lot to express and I'm sure I left out a great deal. The old memory ain't what it used to be. But I'm at a cross roads here. I can keep playing Wow and be miserable as the game gets worse and worse around me. Or I can start playing this game again. Long story short I'm not sure if I even should. But I miss it ya know? I didn't leave the game because I disliked like it. I left because I got depressed.
Anyway thanks those who decide to read my post.
