Many of my closest friends have had this kind of experience, and since I'm feeling nostalgic today, I really want to hear your stories about it.
I'll share mine:
13 years ago when I was a kid, I was playing modded minecraft in one of those wild and anarchic servers where almost everybody wanted to find your base to rob and grief it. I tried several times to progress and have my own base, but there was always a group of experienced players who found out and destroyed it.
I was trying to rebuild my base again when I saw him for the first time. Instead of destroying everything, he wanted to team up, and so we did.
We shared our Skype and started playing together every afternoon, I remember those days as the best time I've spent playing online with anyone... But I guess nostalgia might be adding more to the mix.
I remember the excitement of leaving classes knowing that that afternoon I'd be happily playing with him, and that was it, until one day he didn't show up anymore, he vanished from the server and wouldn't connect to skype anymore.
I remember entering the server with the hope of finding him there, but that day never came.
After a couple of months, I stopped trying.
I hope he's okay wherever he is right now. I know I'll never hear from him again, and probably he doesn't even remember me, but I still wish he's doing well.
I miss you shurtu32.
So that's my story, sorry for the drama overdose, but I wanted to throw this message in a bottle to the bast ocean of the internet.
One last thing: Remember to be careful with your personal information.
