Yes, I was a WoW roleplayer, and for the most part I don't regret it. I met some really awesome people and forged great stories with them, but I wish I had quit when the drama reared its head.
My boyfriend, let's call him B, had just created a new guild with some girl he met online. The girl, I'll name her X, had a history of creating RP guilds and disbanding them at the first whiff of conflict, so B agreed to hold the Guild Master reins while she did the actual work. She wrote the website and the lore and led the guild meetings, and although I rarely saw her in action, she seemed really good at it.
I was new to the server at the time and had a lot of trouble involving myself in the RP scene, so B took me in as his personal
slave servant girl. This would have been all fine and dandy, but some joke he wrote in my member note - something in the lines of "B's sex slave, hands off" - rubbed X the wrong way. She whispered me the next day to ask who I was, then ran to B, crying how
her character was supposed to be his sexy girlfriend and some other stuff B had not agreed to. From there on she tried her best to ignore me (while complaining to B about everything I did) but my mere presence bothered her so much that she would log off whenever I was on. I remember wanting to talk things through with her, but B and I could never get her to sit still for five seconds.
The conflict came to a head when X asked B to hand her the GM rights. He asked her why, as it was his job to protect the guild from her whims, to which X replied "just do it", then "nevermind" and logged off again. She quit the guild some time later, and we thought we had seen the last of her.
Weeks, perhaps months later X made her return with a sob story about how we had stolen the guild from her, and allied herself with another annoying player who was already hassling us. They had a group discussion with B and a neutral mediator, who concluded that everyone was stupid and the matter was finally laid to rest.
However, this event is still part of X's character's story, in which I am the seductress who weaseled her way into the leader's graces.
