A word to anyone who's new to our linkshell and/or doesn't know what caused the events discussed in the following thread:

Exile has had ups and downs during it's time on the server, we've been around for a very long time, and as with any entity that exists for an extended period of time, we have our own ghosts, skeletons and we are not without our past drama.

We try to be fair, and to accomplish all of the goals of everyone who plays, and from time to time we fail in that respect. We fail as individual members, and we fail as a greater group.

The hope is, that like a phoenix we can rise from our former selves. We can look back on what happened, what went wrong and not make the same mistakes again. Sometimes the rifts that are caused are too great, the chasm too wide for any amount of affection or effort to span. The net result of this thread, and the drama that came before it was the loss of a friend. This means more to some than it does to others, but I believe that anyone that knows me, knows that losing a friend is like losing a brother. It kills me to say goodbye to people, especially when it's not on good terms.

I'm not editing or removing any of the information in the following posts. Zelllo should feel free to have said what he has said, and though I do not agree with parts of it, i'm going to leave it here for anyone who needs it, to have closure. I have though closed the thread, as i'm not interested in a flame war, I don't intend to get into an argument, nor do I want people to start flaming each other.



OP:

Hey all, heard from Zelllo yesterday, he's trying to come back, but has had some issues in his move. hopefully he'll be back in a few weeks.

P.S. I used to use the handle Zelllo for everything on the internet since the age of 15... if you see a Zelllo from this point on, it's not me....

I wish I could say something other than "Shame on you for giving up on the people who cared about you, who wanted to know you and be your friend." But that's really what it is, isn't it Z. You came here one last time to rub in our face the fact that you've left.

Truth is, life goes on Z. We wanted you to be a brother, but it turns out you were willing to sell us out because of a misunderstanding.


Goodbye.

Way to misunderstand the post Fishy... the post was about me finally setting myself free from FFXI and the internet... I quit right after someone stole my paypal account loggin and bought a bunch of WoW gold using it... That really put things into perspective for me.


Listen, would you have rather me given that stuff to you? Would you rather me sell the account on Ebay for upwards 300 dollars? Would you rather me have given the stuff to some noob? Fuck that shit, I figured I needed to not contribute to any of the problems related to the game. If I would have given someone from exiles my account or my stuff, it would have just made others jealous, if I had given it to a noob, there's no telling what kind of elitist dick he would have turned into. If I would have sold my account for personal gain over ebay or even god forbid the gilsellers... well do I even need to explain that?


I wanted to give the only people that I thought cared 'closure' and to let you guys know I wasn't going to be around anymore as well as let you know that my character didn't fall into the hands of someone else. I'm done with internet because I've come to the conclusion that I don't belong because I can't seem to convey my ideas correctly so that everyone understands them. 


Let me describe to you the whole thought process in detail from square one. I quit exiles because I could not effectively tell all of you at once how I felt (case in point--reaction I get out of fishy for the post up there ^^^). And because of that, I seriously got pushed to the side. You have to admit there was a level of trust stripped away after all of that non-sense. I couldn't rebuild it within myself because that's just the kind of person I am. Since I no longer had a reason to play the game (fun with people I enjoyed playing with). Things never felt the same and within a couple of weeks I lost the will to play coupled with the massive gold buying that someone hooked my Paypal account up with...


Today I had my mind set on cancelling my account... for lots of reasons. The only reason why I didn't keep playing is because I was no longer a part of an integral force of friends that included me in everything while we went around kicking ass and taking names; the only reason why I continued playing as I told Tim.


Imagine this... you're a person that believes in keeping everything that you worked hard for because you earned it (that's the type of person I am), and you feel bound to something because of 2 and a half years of hard work. Suppose it was a huge set of boobs made out of crystal that you spent 2 and a half years making, and at some point some friends helped you make parts of it. If you decided to smash the son of a bitch after you made just one boob, wouldn't you invite the people that helped you make it and wouldn't you post a video of you smashing it on www.youtube.com?


I had fun ripping shit up with exiles the handful of times we did rip shit up. There was a point in time that I was pushing myself to the limits in real life for exiles. For 3-4 months I rocked the late shift with Enkatsu, Ryun, Quetre, and whoever else until 3 AM PST and got up for work 2 and a half hours later. I didn't care b/c I was having a blast. 


But, do you guys honestly need 3 75 NINs? Is there any point to Zelllo? Would it be fair to Quetre if I demanded timeslots in his 5 minutes of fame? We're all grown ass adults, why can't we all come to the conclusion that it's best this way and not be sour about it?


That's it, no more no less, I'm done, I'm a better person now, and it felt liberating as all hell after I dropped soboro because that was the point of no return for me... If you can't be happy for me, well go shit in a hat, because I don't care anymore. Zelllo can't care because he's dead now.


See most of you, including Tim in hell.

I don't think you understand Z. It was never about how many 75 ninjas or whms or whatever. It never was. It was about friends having fun. You always had to accomplish something, it could never be about us just having fun in the end.

If you feel good about the way you've ended things, then I am pleased that you feel as though you've done the right thing. I don't wish you any unhappiness, or discomfort as you move forward through life, but don't you dare play as though you were an innocent party.

Why do you think you felt so relieved when you dropped the soboro? I don't want your stuff Z, and I don't really care that you've thrown it away. If it makes you feel clean and new and refreshed, then by all means, congratulations.

I'm not going to sit here and argue like an idiot on the internet. Good luck to you, Z, don't bother posting again and Goodbye.

Fishy
