A photo I took during a tricky battle against the Voidwatch NM, Aello, a Harpeia type enemy whom you can barely see on the right side of the screen (the big pink wing).
I died many, many times during my first run against her. At the time, I was in a Voidwatch Linkshell that I regretfully cannot remember the name of. It was led by an Elvaan named Moonglow who helped lead several groups through some of the more outlying Voidwatch fights. By time we reached the final leg of the Zilart VWNMs, Aello stopped us dead in our tracks. After a disastrous alliance-wide wipe, tempers began to flare. I voiced my opinion about a particular tactic that I felt was holding us back, and Moonglow, along with his girlfriend or maybe wife, fired right back at me in a rather distasteful fashion. Upset about being ganged up on, I immediately disbanded from the group and returned back home. I tried to mend things with Moonglow afterwards, but he declined and told me to drop his linkpearl. I did so, regretfully. I was hurt and didn’t play the game again for several days. Looking back, however, there are no hard feelings! It was worth it in the end!
