Here's a wonderful post by someone from one of the most soap-operatic of guilds, the Elven Poosaders:
-------------------------------------------------------
Okay I had to think a bit about how to say all this effectively and without the possibility of repercussions. I may not get it exactly like I'd hope, but the point will be understood.
I was going to delete Ayenfang today, but I didn't. Instead, I gave away every item that I had including gear and bank items. The only reason I didn't delete him is because my girlfriend happened to call and asked me not to, as that is the way we met (Ayenfang and Oombytes). I love her very much, and she did get me out of my little drop.
The details...basically I was told that I was a whiner, and that I was the biggest baby to have ever come upon EC. I was also told by the person to not send a tell or ever join a group he was part of again.
Why he said such things, I still do not know. I am not saying a name as I don't think it would be appropriate to cause any personal problems to get in the way of a character ingame. I know this person only in EQ, but I would rather not cause problems for him.
Anyways, I have given all my items to another character. All my bank items are gone now, and you should consider ayenfang dead. Like I said, the only reason he is not deleted is for the bidding of a very fair and lovely woman.
I have yet to decide whether I will destroy all my alts or not. I promise if I do, that I will give one of you a tell and give you the opportunity to pickup whatever little items of interest they could have for you. I honestly do not twink other than weapons and spells, so I have no clue the quality of what they have.
hohoho I am not a whiner, and I do not consider myself to be a baby in any aspects. If having feelings of warmth for people makes me a baby, then sobeit. I care openly for many people. I do not hide anything really. If you had a question about something, most likely, I would not hesitate to give a response...
But I must say, this person got me upset enough to make me cry. It isn't hard I guess. I have cried this year a few times. But it hurt more because it was a person I felt a likeness to (not in that homo sick way). Basically the people you tend to generally categorize as friends are better left as people of no effect. If they are not very very close, they should probably stay very very far away.
So that should be the vaguest post I can give without damaging anyone's name, and letting you guys know. I am not whining, but as hard as that person who i will call an A$$, there are some people here who would actually like to know. I am not so inconsiderate as to just leave no explanation for my actions.
I would like to say that I am a man. I am a man that is emotionally strong. But with strength comes the courage to let your heart open to people, and that can be dangerous. Just because a man is emotional does not mean he is weak. The strongest men of the world all got that way because they cared enough about something to stay dedicated. I have a life out of game, and maybe if I wasn't actually so bogged down with responsibilities, that I could lolligag on the computer playing EQ all night long. I got involved more than I should have in EQ. I let it affect my life. I actually got too much into it. So I need to do the healthy thing and backup from it if not indefinitely at least for awhile.
I have responsibilities in life that I do not neglect. That means that I cannot be able to level along with my friends as I would like. Growing up is not fun neccessarily, but if you are willing to think about it, it is for the best.
I think maybe that is a good ending place. I will check on this board at least for a few days. If I missed something, I'll try and reply to whatever is neccessary. I am not giving the name of the person out. I honestly say I am bitter toward them, but I am not going to hold it so close to me that I can't let it go. I needed to get away from EQ to do it, but my life in reality can not be influenced by people who are too weak to do anything but put others down to build themselves up.
Later my friends. You are all very special to me. I hope all of you happy playing.
Ayen
Oh, as a consequence of all this, I am going ahead and considering all my characters out of elven crusaders of the recruits. I will miss you all. Goodbye.
