DIABLO 4/20
Happy
IV/XX! Welcome to the official
website for all things XBAND
Guild, and the third devpost for
this online recreational hobby.
|
It's been more than three years since
the last update I made here. My world
turned upside down forever the very same
morning I had planned to post an update
on October 1st of 2020, looking forward
to the slew of holiday events beginning
in online games and real life. Before I
got around to uploading anything, I
received a phone call from my sister
that my mother had just been taken away
from home by ambulance, and subsequently
later that day she was no longer with
us.
A lot of my motivation and interest in
my all time favorite hobby became
stalled, and I missed out entirely on
many of the gaming content I had been
looking forward to all year: the
Halloween events in Animal Crossing,
Phantasy Star Online, and World of
Warcraft. In fact, I skipped out
entirely on the Shadlowlands expansions
as I felt the grief was too near with me
to play an expansion taking place in the
afterworld so soon after what had
happened. Enough time has passed for me
to recognize that it should be much
clearer now to realize that spending as
much time as possible having fun with
friends and family is not only
important, but in no way dishonors the
memories or sullies the importance of
those no longer able to join us.
That being said, playing the Diablo IV
beta with friends was the most fun I've
had playing an online game in quite some
time, and I do really hope this is the
one that will bring us back together
from the divergence that naturally
occurs from adulthood. I of course
realize the Silver
Age days of raiding together and
everyone meeting up for dinner
afterwards are long gone, but being able
to play together again in any capacity
would be awesome.
As far as updates to the site go, I have
finally begun adding some profiles on
our members on the Player List
page, starting with Kykyo and Elara. I
hope you enjoy taking a peek at them,
and hope to add more soon.
2023 is the
year I'm looking forward to going back
to Hell with the crew.
