A wee Idoc tale,
I started playing this game aprox 8 years ago with a now ex boyfriend, we did everything together, did everything for each other.
One night just over 4 years ago in rl he decided I'd been unfaithful to him and in a jealous fit of rage, he beat the living daylights out of me, leaving me for dead on the floor.
While I was in hospital he'd logged in, deleted all my chars, and took my house, only a log cabin, but I'd played damned hard to get it. He never played/logged in again.
I started again, alone and friendless, untill a guild got hold of me and took me under thier wing, but every now and then I would pop by the old cabin, still owned by ex's char .. everything untouched untill one day it went idoc,
I went along when it was due to fall, spoke to some of the people camping it, told them my story and asked if anybody got anything made by my old chars could I please buy it, just something small, a piece of armour, maybe a rune book, I got laughed at, I got called names, I got called a greedy *insert swear word here*.
I left I didnt stay for the fall.
Not all houses go idoc because someone has actually left the game,
every time I hear of an idoc now I feel kinda sad and it brings back bad memories.
It also brings back good, because of the friends I now have and wouldn't of found otherwise.
Now tho when I think of an idoc I try to think, yay thats another scripter caught and banned
