Hello everyone whose reading this thread post, I'm actually writing this because the silverware needs to be set for the captains quarters. I will share with you what this post means, however if you do not recall the guild GRIEF this may not apply to the personal viewer of this thread.
Lets Start From The Beginning In 2017 Semi-Open Beta. In 2017 my original pirate (MAIN) was named Jim Hexcrash as it were in POTCO, I formed a successful guild in the early days of Semi-Open Beta called GRIEF. My staff team and I ran it like any other normal guild did back in those days and compared to nowadays. Websites were being created, YouTube, our very own forum and a production all for GRIEF. Unfortunately GRIEF took a turn for the worse after being exposed to toxic players and guilds that had no respect for our guild and would eventually have to deal with unwanted drama and altercations after altercations having no context to explain but get the immediate boot of personality from a negative players perspective. However as a Guildmaster and with trusty staff members, things were just not properly being taken care of which I blame 101% on myself and not the staff, but also I am very aware of these struggles that will cross my path in hardships that I would have to one day face or deal with. We then proceeded to remove a lot of unwanted members out of Grief which led to a horrible counterattack on population growth within the guild, quieter was more like it. But the remaining members and staff made good efforts to re-up in number growth which we had one day reached our goal again as well.... But now here is the part I have never ever told neither my staff team or even my closest friends online and IRL.. The guild GRIEF once lost its name permanently because of its initial leave of absence but not just a leave of any normal absence, (Disbanded). The reason why GRIEF was disbanded was because I was only 18 years old back when I first started Grief and I had a very important job where I was previously living at the time... My IRL job at the time I was working for would literally ruin days and nights for me that I'd wanna get on TLOPO and play with my guild members- this leading into a fall of depressive state of mind made me lose interest of what was really important to me all along, that was hence forth my guild GRIEF.. Being depressed and angry most of the time was too hard to come online and manage, luckily I had gotten out of that job with paid layoff and found a new job that pays higher and has much more respect and puts me in a better mood with the people I work with everyday, so that's good. Over the course of 2 year's and months that rolled by I managed to get my foot in the door with many guilds but was never offered recognition upon ranked approval, however this never bothered me but it was all in good intentions and not for my own good. GRIEF never really knew why the guild got disbanded until NOW, but I think now is the perfect time and opportunity to restart again cause I'm in a very good place in my life right now to be moving forward with my old guild, some of the oldest members have returned. Grateful Thanks for reading this
