It’s wild how games go sometimes. I hadn’t written about it, but here goes a summary.
I’ve been in SPM for 10 years now. During that time we ran with Deacon who formed RR at some point, and I was invited to that. When I wasn’t with SPM on Mondays, I was running with RR. Basically every night I wasn’t playing OW. I often didn’t talk much because many of these premades have their little cliques and a core group who talks and has in-jokes and such. But I decided to start being more vocal saying hi, goodnight, and joining in the banter.
During this time Oca was reaching out to me about maybe playing together. Since there was bad blood I had even removed him from btags so there couldn’t be any queue sniping. Which ofc was ridiculous because SPM was zero threat to BSG. None, at all. We had no chance, at all.
Anyway despite joining RR every night and trying to talk more, I got kicked out with no warning at all. Just one day said goodnight to them and the next night, no community. Not a single person reached out in Discord, game chat, nothing. I had to message Deacon and basically ask what the deal was, and he said it was because Krienn made jokes about joining BSG or something. Krienn is a known troll at times.
Then later I was told it was for trolling. I almost never post on the WoW forums and I wasn’t posting in their discord, so I didn’t know how that could be. Then I was told I had doxxed a member. Um hello? I had screenshot a convo someone did in their discord where they mentioned “BC” or something kicked BSGs ass. I wanted to show who said it in case it was in connection to whatever that abbreviation was. I should note that in RR, you had to set up your discord name with your character name, so like Coquette-Whisperwind and this person was Anne- something or other. So yes, I did that. That’s not even remotely close to doxxing though.
Anyway so I got kicked and now I was back to having no one to queue with. I figured in for a penny, in for a pound, and joined BSG. I will note that even before joining, they were always friendly and would say hi to me in bgs if I queued into them, invite me to stuff, etc. So I joined the community and later the guild. I also got invited to TFS. So now I had BSG, SPM, and TFS! I was back to queueing with people all the time. That was in August 2024.
But by Feb 2025, I’m back to just SPM and technically TFS, but no one to play with on off nights. TFS hasn’t really been queueing since it’s close to the end of the pvp season.
I just have to say it would be nice if active groups latest more than a few months. This has been a reoccurring issue with communities and guilds for years now. My average lifespan prior like MoP and such was 1-2 years.
