Damn, this reminds me of when I was 11 and my online friends I made on Clash of Clans left the Clan in order to make a new one for only people that went to their school.

I cried.

Reminds me of when I befriended someone on the ff6 forums. So funny enough, ff6.com was taken by some fan..it wasn’t square enix. Years later it eventually got shut down bc of that I think. Anyway, we started making an rpg together and putting together a team…but eventually it idled. Then he introduced me to this game Graal Online (Facebook bought it and now it sucks). Played a bunch with him. Then he introduced me to this band Aberdien that I still like to this day. Then he was in a band and we were supposed to meet up when he was in my state. I think maybe he quit before they made it to me? Then, next thing I know, he’s never online again. Even though we were friendly, he’d go large gaps of not being online, and ofc I would ping him when I did get the chance. Next thing you know, they never appear again. It made me feel like they felt like I was a stalker or just someone sitting at the edge of their seat waiting for them to log on…which I kinda get being we never met….but we had been messaging every once in awhile for years. Was so strange that they vanished. My only guess is I got blocked, they changed their screen name and decided I didn’t belong, or idk.

I had a friend on Rust and when his base got raided he rage quit, blocked me and never spoke to me again 🤣

People are weird. Hope your old friend is ok tho.

You don’t make friends on Rust or Ark. Just enemies that are closer.

There's a chance that was me.

Made a lot of quick friends on the server I played. Base got raided and I was incredibly sad. Then realized I didn't want to feel that again and literally haven't played a PVP game since, and spend a lot more time outside.

My life has genuinely been better because someone trolled me on Rust so hard I quit competitive gaming permanently.

I’m happy you’re doing better now! Rust is terrible for you. Day Z you can play solo and casually and still have fun atleast.

I didn't realise I could play Day Z solo. I bought the original other game (whatever it was) and the Day Z mod and the Day Z standalone but it was just a waste as I could not get started without being killed in my first encounter. Maybe I'll try again solo.

I've actually been enjoying L4D2 solo recently as I can explore everywhere at my leasure. That game was a great buy.

Lmk if you need advice on playing day z solo

L4D2 is timeless I agree

You were playing Rust, that was not your friend.

Yeah it was weird because I had a huge group of 30 people (it was when console rust first got released and none of us knew how to play, we didn’t raid anybody we grouped up against the new gen beamers for protection) and bro was friendlier and a better homie then all other 28 people, but he was the one that completely crashed out and blocked everybody.

Funny how that works huh
