We had a member who had been accused of killing his wife. She was found dead in their bed with her lover, and he got convicted. We were stunned. Years went by and we kind of forgot about it as people quit for various reasons and the guild slowly faded away.
However, one day, I flip on the news and found out that he had escaped prison and was able to flee the country. Apparently he had been tunneling through the wall for years hiding his progress with a giant poster of Rita Hayworth.
Anyway, we never saw him again. It was all pretty wild.
I was going to say mine was pretty dark, then I finished reading his… Still dark though.
We were doing trash runs in BWL, a guy who played WAY too much suddenly DCed and never logged in again. Turns out he was a minor celebrity in Ottowa because his family had sailed around the world. 2 weeks or so later, we find out the reason he didn’t log back in is he tried to kill his dad for pulling the power on his computer. The reason we find out is the media started sniffing around and our GM had to tell us to not get involved.
The other one, which is SUBSTANTIALLY less dark, was when I realized my raid leader during WOTLK went on to be a bit of a minor celebrity himself: https://www.youtube.com/c/drlupo
Back in the Vanilla says… our Guild Leader got doxxed on the forums. Name, number, pictures, everything. Turned out he was hiding out on our server after causing some end game raid guild drama on Mannoroth server.
