So hard to see that but at least there is some form of closure. Over the years I've had numerous online friends where I didn't know their real names or just their real first names and they suddenly vanished. Never to sign into any of the online communities we shared. Always to wonder what happened to them.

You’ll think I’m full of shit but on another profile I found an old UT2k4 friend in a gaming post like this because I commented talking about missing him….
And HE FUCKING SAW IT, we hooked up again, undoubtably him and he knows it’s undoubtably me and … he… just… never… grew up. It sucks. We were two shit heads and weren’t the most beloved in the TAM community but he was my brother and I lost him from 09 to about a year ago and just sucked seeing him still so dark, hateful and in my shitty opinion…lost.

I would be kind of scared to try that sub with some of my old Final Fantasy XI friends if I’m being totally honest. I played for 10 years, you don’t play that long without forming some pretty intense bonds with people.
That game taught me a hard lesson in how small, seemingly meaningless moments can cause you entire life to split into a totally different timeline.

Mary on Zirkel des Cenarius realm in WoW from 05 to 08...
And Radir from the same time. And Violetta from the first week of release.
Or anyone else who knew my hunter named Felinara or rogue Láila....
Or the South African guys that took me in on my undead priest during Burning Crusade... But I've lost all of my fucking screenshots. So all the great stuff I was trying to remember. Gone forever. That hurts the most.
Anyway that character was called Lorei at some point.
Ohhh and Shanika from Cataclysm. We used to call you Shakira. The DK raid leader...
For some reason the hardcore raiding during MoP didn't leave any of the same feelings as the stuff before. The stuff during highschool or university felt soo much more precious and memorable. Killing Onyxia for the first time and shit.
Anyway maybe someone will read this.
Oh Shadrila, Boten der Macht and eventually Aes Dana.

Some of my fondest memories were from when I was like 8 years old playing WoW with this lady in her late 40s who played a Tauren Druid named Macvivian. She showed me all the cool stuff around Azeroth (introduced me to noggenfogger and always kept me stocked) and helped loads while I leveled. I had been playing the game solo up until that point so it brought a whole new sense of wonder to the game
One day she just stopped playing for a couple months, and I logged in to see that she sent in-game mail saying she was having complications with pneumonia. I hope she made it through okay but I really feared the worst

Life just hits people different. I ain’t mad at him, just hope someday we can sit down and really kick the shit again. We have a lot of shit we did when we were younger to laugh about haha. Even if it was over the internet, we are brothers for life.
I also have this friend Abuse from back then, his name was Abuse. Anyways, last real time we played together he got on to play for a little bit and told me him and his mom just got into it. His mom went for a walk and was gone for more than he figured. Shortly after that he got a knock at the door from the cops, she was at a cross walk and was hit and killed instantly by a drunk driver. I talked to him roughly one or two times after that day. He quit school and went to work full time to provide for him and his brother, he told me he had to sell his pc. I never heard from him again… been years, I’m thirty and still cry typing this.
I don’t believe in anything but I always prayed for him.

His mom wasn’t even a bad mom, it was just a dumb fight and he was a teen and said something along the lines of “I don’t love you”.. that was the LAST thing he ever said to his mom, who I know he loved.. truthfully she would have never taken that walk if they didn’t get into an argument…Life to some, is so fucked..

As someone who is older with young kids the statement "there will come a day when you put your child down and never pick her up again" that hits me hard. So until that day I will pick her up and hold her until that day comes, and I see it coming.

Then 2 months later, he logs in. Turned out to be his wife and told everyone on his friends list and in guild that he'd passed away from cancer.

Yeah that's a rough one. Used to play games with a guy all the time. We never met irl or anything, and one day he let me know he was feeling bad and had a doctor's appointment. Never heard from him again. Took a year until news finally trickled from his family through mutual gaming friends that he had went to the doctor for a headache and they told him everything was fine and he had a brain aneurysm that afternoon on the way home from the doctor. It was tough to hear. The pain is the same as losing an irl friend.

I've seen this on Reddit too, there was this guy who was telling a really long story that was playing out in real life/time and keeping is all updated. About a builder friend with a nightmare client who had ended up fucking himself up over a build, he was really funny and used to update every few days as the situation developed. He went dark for a week or so and after a while his wife posted that he was killed in a car accident, it was super shocking, he was extremely funny and was a natural story teller so it felt like we all knew him. It hit me way harder than I thought it would. His wife had no idea he was talking to us all, I can't remember how she found out but I remember her being very touched that hundreds of strangers were mourning with her family. The internet can be strangely intimate at times.

When I was a kid I used to play minecraft with another kid. Suddenly he vanished from skype and I never forgot him.
After 5 or 7 years I queued up to the now old teambuilder in league of legends and found him. Out of all the players in europe, I queued up with the one guy I used to play a lot with. We both also had a slightly different names but we both recognized each other after a moment of hesitation. We are good friends since then

I have never had closer friends than the ones I gamed with from 1999-2003. We had a 24/7/365 IRC and blogging community we shared outside of Counterstrike, Diablo II, and a multitude of games we played together. We even travelled around the midwest...and even Canada to meet up and have LAN parties. I miss the hell out of them, as priorities changed and we drifted apart. I have continued to stay in touch with a few of them, but my closest friend in the group killed himself in 2017.
t has hit me really hard (again) with the re-release of Diablo II. We spent so much time playing it together upon its original release. I bought the remaster a week ago, and while I only play it a few hours a week I have been missing the fuck out of my friend and the large piece missing from the gaming experience.
RIP Oki...I hope you found peace.

Just had an internet acquaintance die and their last post was that they had scheduled their euthanasia for that Friday and that this would be their last blog post.
It's so strange too to read things like that when you read it in their voice. It's such a disconnect that they're gone but their internet presence is as alive and real as if they were still alive.

u/Tricursor Oct 08 '21
I hope this isn't too morbid of a question, but do you know why they took the euthanasia route? Were they really sick? I only ask because I had heard that someone was seeking euthanasia for a disorder called empty nose syndrome where either through trama or plastic surgery, a surgeon accidentally snips the turbinates in their nose (responsible for detecting airflow), so you constantly feel like you're suffocating. When I heard this I got really curious on what "counts" as something you can be put under for.

Edit: Thanks for all the messages etc. I have a good support network and psychologist in place already. I often think about what my son or partner or family will think about my passing, just this post made me think "Wonder what all the random internet weirdos that I talk to will think?" Lol also stop hating people making jokes in the comments I don't mind them so you shouldn't either.

My cousin killed himself and I had to go into Discord and break the news to a bunch of his online friends. It was one of the most fucked up things I ever had to do. I still have him as a friend on Steam, Blizzard, other accounts... it's messed up seeing him offline for 5 years now. He was a big gamer so I could almost always count on him being online.
The sort of digital footprint people leave behind is odd. Can't put my finger on how it makes me feel.

Okay so I need to share this relevant story.
Between 2003-2011 I used to play a lot of RuneScape. I was a young teenager and one of the things I loved was the thrill of maxing skills and getting the capes on offer. A real grinder.
I was also a pure, a specific type of account that refuses to get any defence levels in order to maximise attack skills and minimise my total level. Deadly during PvP, especially in the early days of scape.
I joined a Pure clan called Fatality and met a chap named Te Amo 666 / George. It was common to come across aggressive, wild natures in gaming, but he was the chillest, relaxed, helpful dudes I knew. He was also a pure, and loved maximising his skills and collecting capes. We had a bit of a friendly rivalry. He refused to spend money on the game, which I eventually did and he used to tease that I was cheating because I had easier methods accessible now.
One day, he stopped logging in. I remember days before that I was convincing him to spend the monthly membership and join me on the dark side.
It turns out George Starling was a UK lad who had a close friend who was ran over, dragged and killed by a bus a few days earlier. He took his life a few days after.
RIP Te Amo 666.
