what's the craziest story you heard from other player's experience in the game?

Can be about drama or a little bit of irl situation

For me (sorry for bad english) :

I used to open a venue in my server (i still do, but not everyday). It was a tavern for people to chill/relax/afk/gpose/etc. I have a small service where i can listen to customer's vent or rant about something. And sometimes i give them an advice about their situation (only if i've been in that situation before). Some of their story are pretty mild and/or wild. But none of them are this crazy (for me) for what i'm about to tell you. This was months ago, so my memory is a bit fuzzy, so i'll only telling you the short version of it, since it was very detailed story from what i heard

One day i got a customer venting about him and his wife's experience with the game. Real life wife/husband btw, and already have kids (still minor). He said that his wife is cheating on him with a player she met in this game. Online cheating basically. Not only that, she's also doing ERP. When he ask her who is she, she said "just an online game friends, that's all". I think they both are in the same FC, i forgot.

Anyway, then he was telling me about their irl situation. He said she's been addicting to this game and very lazy doing chores in the house while the husband is busy with his job. There was a time when one of their kids almost die because she's busy playing. It was pretty f**ked up. He tried to talk her out of it, but she's not listening.

Back to the game. He tried talk to a player that she cheated with, and tell them to leave her and block her. The player that she cheated with didn't even know that she has a husband, so they listened to him and did what they were told. The next day, the wife is crying because her "friends" is not replying to her and leaving her.

I forgot what happen after that, but i remember he said that he's considering to file a divorce with her.

After he told me all this, he wants to logout the game will come back to continue the story. But at that time, it was my last day until my sub is run out.

A month or two later, i resub to the game and when i open my venue again, that customer was here again to continue a bit of his story. He said that they already divorced, and their kids are with their grandparents.

------------------------------------------------------------

That's it for the story. I know that i shouldn't have wrote this since this is someone's personal problem. But it's been bugging me alot, so i just want to let it all out.

Jesus christ...

This isn't really the place for this sort of thing..

Gonna leave this open and come back to read later in case it gets deleted, cuz y'all are making it sound positively spicy.

Wait what?

I think his story is fabricated, most uncontested divorces take at least 3 months.

That depends on where you live. In Japan, a lot of divorces never go through the court system.

Imagine leaving a real life relationship and family to makeout with pixels

That's quite tame knowing that people have been /cast level 5 death over pixels.

Your kids, pets, family members, and real life friends are more important than a video game. Of course your friends and family should respect your love for the game, but if you are literally neglecting your marriage, and children, you need mental help.

I get it, I went through a period like this, but I am a young adult, and childless. I do have a dog, but I have a partner who helps me when I go through depressive episodes. With that said, I would NEVER EVER let my dog starve for this game. If my partner wasn't home, and I had to, I always fed the dog. It is understandably hard when you're depressed, and you need motivation to do simple things, but if I couldn't even take care of my dog, that is my fault, and I recognized that. My partner helped, and I got help.

The reason I became obsessed with the game was because I was attacked IRL for being trans, and I shut myself in afterward for years. It really messed me up for a long time. Life happens, and addictions to games often happen for a reason. I do not fault her for using it as a crutch. Making online friends helped me make my real ones. Even today those friends are still dear to me online, and I do hope to meet them someday. They helped push me to take better care of myself, and open up to help. Sometimes we just aren't ready for outside intervention, but children are children, and pets are pets. Always feed them. Always love them first. She should of gone to those grandparents first, and asked them to temporarily take custody of the children. Parents sometimes do need to do that, and its okay to need some help. Mental health happens, but again what she did was very wrong. I do hope she has the help she needs now however, and that her issues are eventually something she can manage.

The craziest story I heard of was of players who got mad over a chair furniture.

A chair in the game even! Not even a physical real object.

Finally adding to the topic: a mentally ill person claiming to be harassed by pretty much everyone they ever met. The whole story read like a notebook you would find in a psych ward.

Whooah shots fired

The craziest thing I ever witnessed was that in Stormblood, I was in a static that had a couple in it. Back when buffs padded your FFlogs, the girl in this relationship was erping with the DRG and AST to be fed buffs. One day the boyfriend got sus and called the two out in public during raid that they don't buff anyone else but her. After several questions and investigations by the raid lead, it came out that the girl was cheating on her boyfriend with two members of the static to pad her fflogs. Needless to say, the static exploded, disbanded, and everyone went separate ways.

I have more stories but I don't wanna sound like a broken recorded cause they all seem to involve ERP in some way.
