One I will never forget was in SWTOR. I was the guild master of a pretty big guild.
We had a young woman in the guild who was mute and whose microphone was always on mute in Teamspeak. After a few months, I noticed that her microphone was open one day. A good friend was with us when suddenly an unknown voice sounded in the channel. It was a guy’s voice. Sighing and audibly shaken, he said he had to make a confession and get something off his chest. He said he was neither mute nor a woman and was struggling with serious mental health issues, but had decided to work on them. And setting the record straight was the first step. He knew that trust was now in tatters, apologized profusely, and left the TS server and the guild before my buddy or I could react. We were completely baffled, and it was the first time I had ever seen my buddy speechless.
Unfortunately, the “ex-girl” didn’t respond to any more PMs. Otherwise, I would have invited him back into the guild.
I play EVE Online soooooo this happens daily? multiple times a day?
The political dramas in that game could put actual real world political drama to shame. I mean take what’s currently happening in game right now. A massive alliance named Pandemic Horde decided to evacuate the space they held. fair enough, the issue? Leadership made the announcement they were leaving said space and then…leadership quit. in the same message. Thus all the regular members, literally hundreds of them if not well over 1000, were left on their own in hostile space with all their assets stuck in stations that were now actively being shot at and destroyed by opposing alliances. The players are essentially stuck because all the upper leadership of Pandemic Horde have the massive capital ships that they could have used to save their members by getting them out of system or aiding in destroying the attackers but they said nope, we’re not going to do that. It’s a cluster fuck.
oh yeah it’s huge. As of right now Pandemic Horde have lost over 16,000 characters that have quit the alliance. they’re pretty much done. End of an era.

As a wormholer, watching it unfold from afar has been kinda hilarious
