WARNING: Very boring, depressing post. I just had to record it. Oh, and if you don't play WoW, you probably have no idea what I'm talking about.Eternal Wings, the guild I created with Michael and Kitky has officially been disbanded this afternoon, March 12th, by the original maker (for those ill-informed about my alternate life, that would be me).
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a bit sad to let it go. All I had to do was type '/gdisband' and hit enter and that was the end - not even a prompter which asked if I was SURE I wanted to do it... and I was thinking, "Whoa, that's it? What if I accidently typed that?!".
Saying goodbye to people is never easy, but what about saying goodbye to a non-existent entity which I have have poured effort and energy into developing, seeing it crumble and yet have to do deal the crushing blow to finally kill it? For those of you who don't play WoW, a guild is basically a bunch of people you share a guild name with and a guildchat - doesn't sound like much does it? You'd be surprised at how attached people get to a name, an idea. To me, EWings was a guild of 3 which grew and grew as a network of friends, most of whom I don't know in real life but who I now feel are as close to me as good friends I hang out with everyday. It's like having an extended family who you have fun with, learn with, grow with and trust with your life (literally!"...omg watch my health you noob!"). As with most things, good things never last and with other things, we just can't hold on to. Just like how young birds have to fly the nest one day, Eternal Wings has left the building - but it lives on, just like the spirit of Elvis, in the hearts of the people who remember it.
I said goodbye to an online family name today.
RIP Eternal Wings 12-05-2006
The good old days: Jorani, Exigency, Judes, Gyrafe.
