I was the General for XGC Genocide. My XS at the time was XGC Swifty XS and my XD was XGC Exile XD (both of whom left.)
I used to always say that I'd never be in any gaming community, other than XGC. And that's true. I started out in XGC back in 2012. Worked my way all the way up to General, even had my own XG Addicts page. Towards the end there, I just felt disconnected with the community as a whole. There was a lot of uneven ground, and my higher-ups weren't exactly all too helpful in providing assistance to gain stable footing. My clan was starting to fall apart, and I was being left out to dry, with no assistance. I left on good terms with most of my higher-ups. I just didn't feel at home in XGC anymore. I never joined another clan. I just wanted a breath of fresh air. A new start. Being a General, and running a clan was a lot of fun at first. But with the way things were going, it started to feel like a second job. Too much drama, too much stress, and too much immature pettiness. I wanted a break.
It was alright at first. But as my friend's list got smaller and smaller, I began to realize that I was actually missing the family feel of XGC. It sucks not having many friends to game with. I used to have tons of people that I could've played with. But now, being out there alone....
I miss the camaraderie, the brotherhood-like feeling, the feeling of belonging to a family. I feel like a runaway that left home and six months later, found themselves sitting on a bench at a bus stop in the middle of the night in the freezing cold realizing how stupid they were to leave, and how much of a mistake it was to go.
I want to come home.
