Seriously? Anyone can write a sob story.
>>>Start time 3:51am
I live by myself. I don't have many friends outside of my videogames, and Dust 514 is the one place I can truly call home. I can joke and have meaningful conversations with my corpmates. We are a closer family than my biological one ever was with me.
We are all low income, under 30k a year, and for the past 2 years we've been saving up whatever we could to get all 8 of us to the FanFest, and party at the top of the world.
It was hard work, and it implied a lot of sacrifice, but we had finally achieved it. We paid for our fanfest tickets with plex, and made the necessary accommodations to go for the duration of the entire event.
Once our planes arrived, we met up at our hotel, checked in, and went out to visit the Eve Monument. We thought it was mostly a symbolic thing, because without Eve, there would be no Dust, so we went there to check it out. It was an interesting piece of abstract art.
On with the main event. Upon arriving, we saw a table with a large Dust poster on it, and quite a crowd around it. We got closer, and soon found ourselves talking with one of our competitor corporations. As it turns out, they had all been to the previous' year Fanfest, and they were telling us to expect great things, and to keep our spirits up. Surely, something great was going to come to Dust.
Once the keynote started, I remember telling the guy next to me that I was too excited to just sit, so i excused myself, and I went to the side of the meeting room, so i could stretch myself a bit. On with the keynote, and the bad powerpoint jokes, and the revelation that Dust was the founding blocks for Project Legion. My heart sunk. All of the excitement, all of my expectations, were swiftly crushed. Suddenly, I felt very awkward in that room, so I walked out. I wondered outside of the complex for about 30 minutes, and once I went back in, I found the rest of my crew. I could tell from their faces that the news were not great. We met up with the guys from the other corp, and they were equally saddened.
We have no desire to stay for the rest of the FanFest. What CCP has done to us, their loyal player base, is unforgivable. I am mostly hurt at the great deal of sacrifice us 8 put into coming here, to only be kicked down and tossed to the side. I will forever hate this company, and what they have just put me through.
All of the things I could've done, the vacations I could've taken, sacrificed in vain.
>>>End time 3:59
Come on guys.
I've never been to fanfest, and i havent touched dust in a year, so forgive any inaccuracies....
This is as nice as I get.
