So…is this right?

Am I about to embark on a journey I’ve already taken?

If you’ve been following this blog at all you may remember that I was a competitive WoW player for the first 10 years World of Warcraft was available.

Our Guild was The Arcane Council on the Bloodhoof Server and we were quite accomplished for a competitive, yet family friendly guild. I played with the same players for many years and came to hold them in high regard. We forged our way through every obstacle placed in our way. I was so proud of how Taranis let our group past each obstacle…taxing everyone’s resources to the brink of failure.

I had found my family and invested heavily in the making our Guild everything it could be. It was my purpose.

Until the betrayal.

So, I can’t into detail because it’s been so long ago, but being a former officer in the guild I still (somehow) had access to officer forums though I had already passed my torch on. I sensed treachery in a few posts and determined that my friend Taranis, now known as Bog Otter, our leader…was the source.

I felt shaken. As if my own brother, who had suffered alongside me, had forsaken our combined efforts. That simple betrayal, however insignificant, affected my group gameplay forever.

I was so hurt not only from Taranis’s desire to pare down to a smaller group of people in a different guild…but his omission of me. I felt like I contributed to much our our Guild’s success. I put in more time than most and felt left out.

The most disappointing was Flo. She never answered me as to why she went along with the smaller group.

Wow. It still fricking hurts! Haha.

Well, I want it to be known that I am finally looking for a new gaming family. I’m a faithful guardian until the very end. All is forgiven!

20 years is penance! Let’s get the band back together…somewhere.
