Hold up wait a second, I think you are all missing a key component. Old Doombringer decided to quit, that was his choice, sad to see him go excited to see another rise to the challenge for the realms he's left.
I do though believe OCC, Forum and IRC issue were involved, mm but if he let something of his personal life slip into game where other would then take a step back and go "Hey, this seems fishy" then well that was his fault. If you bring your personal life to this game, it is a mistake, I did once took a break and I came back.
From what I read in another thread it must regard some issue between two players knowing one another in real life and people taking that into context in the game... which is a mistake by them, but it does make you wonder as a player.
... Treat every player as a equal, treat their character as the next hurdle.
