a kick to the nads is just a kick to the teeth for a gnome with a limp

Wow. The friend of mine who got me to transfer from Nightmare Walking on Hellscream to Dauntless on Eldre'thalas just up and posted he's leaving the guild. Back when we were in NW, he talked to me in private and in messages to forewarn me that he was leaving. In Dauntless, when it looked like the guild was being disbanded, he was massively apologetic and all but angsting that he'd gotten me to spend money to transfer. But this? No messages, no in-game mails or whispers. Just out of the blue, I find out like any other schmo in the guild.

Huh. I guess that says a lot. How things have changed. I wonder if he even feels any sort of regret to the now four of us who followed him over (five if you count our other friend's alts). Well, whatever. Or something. I dunno. Fucking transitory nature of online gaming. Worse than fandoms, and that's saying a lot.

But yeah, definite hurt feelings here. Says a *lot* after how he handled leaving NW and when he thought Dauntless was breaking up, compared to how he's just left now. And that lot is "even after a couple years of being friends, I'm as pissed at you and think as little of you as the rest of them, and I no longer care."

♥ Thanks, hon. Online stuff is weird. It just gets to me sometimes that you can know a person for years, call them friend, but they can just disappear *poof* out of your life so easily. At the least, I sent him a message to try to talk it out.
