I can can see a market for Achaea branded catheters though.
He was out of work / college and didn't have anything better to do.
(Well, really, that's not true - there's lots better to do than play achaea for 216 hours over a two week period - which is why he no longer plays achaea and is a much healthier, happier individual)
He is a coward who has to bring two friends as backup to jump people hunting.
I got dragon at character age 49 which, at the time, was pretty fast. You youngsters don't know what it's like to struggle, uphill both ways in the snow, getting up before going to bed...
Tharos, the Announcer of Delos shouts, "It's near the end of the egghunt and I still haven't figured out how to pronounce Clean-dat-hoo."
Not sure when I got Dragon, some time around 2007 I think, and I started around 2004. #101, I remember that because I missed being number 100 by a few hours. Might be something in the Gare clan? I do remember Clem did my Dragon ceremony at the theatre in Delos and it was pre dragoncraft by quite a bit. #lolatdragonjesterwithobliterate

Yeah Dragon Jester was ridiculous! You and Manu were unkillable and that was with my Dragon Monk web/axk
Today I reached level 20 and like 98% and I'm staring at my portals and realizing maybe I should have done something more than kill imps for the pixies and I feel like I'm sitting on top of a cliff deciding if I should step off, except instead of a long fall with a visible end it's the top of a plinko machine and I can't see what the bottom slots are labelled to even know where to position myself to try and land in a good spot. Clients and scripting and cities and houses and tasks and did I save enough gold for health potions when things hit me hard and what if I get lost will I wander forever alone and how the hell do you find Cyrene without portals this world is too big I respectfully request at least half the rooms be deleted. There are 40000 shops in cyrene selling things for like 4 mil and I finally found a place that sold health potions except it was called restoration and it turns out you can't drink it. I shouldn't be nervous to ask questions but do I lose newbie channel even though I never spoke on it cause asking on city talking is still being figured out and even if I do can I work up the courage to talk oh lordy. Still very fun so far.

10rl years after resigning my position as Seneschal and vowing never to get involved in politics ever again in a game, I just contested a regent position. #whathaveidone
Stories like this don't help anything, and create a battle between one person/group and another. If someone is causing you grief the best thing is to completely stop interactions and either talk to someone else or just take a breather and wait it out. As someone who antagonizes themselves daily over what you spoke of before, simply continuing the negative interaction is going to impact you far worse than anything else. Sometimes having a bad day and hoping someone else will be extra comforting won't happen, and it just exasperates the situation.
You've already edited the post, so I'll leave all the information out that was involved, but I'll give advice from someone who is struggling from such a dark place: Try to get help as best you can, don't look at it as a crutch to get sympathy, because many a time people are going through similar things and aren't going to stop and try to take on your situation as well as theirs. Friends and family are going to help, but you have to calm down and re-evaluate as best you can. I can give a lot more advice but it best to toss me an inbox to speak about it private.
Since you want to address this topic: I am basically brand new to this game. I just play some newbs, starting being active again to spin the wheel. Saying I should advocate for myself is bullshit - for context, I tried to join Mhaldor (on another newb). I'm not having the best day. It turned into Aegoth basically trying to incite suicide. I have no history or reputation in this game - you guys can decide how you want your communities run, but I personally find suicidal encouragement pretty lame. I'm not looking for a crutch or sympathy. I know nobody here.
To preface: I'm not telling you that you should go away or anything.
The best advice anybody can give a new player would be to stay the fuck away from forums / OOC clans, and just play the game how you want to play it. No matter what you do, you're probably going to annoy somebody in some way or another, anyway.
Good advice, I'll take it in the next game I play.
Don't take it personally, Litania. It was probably a holdover from something earlier, there was this absolute fucking nutjob that was trying to join Mhaldor that was just awful based on what I saw. Very loud and demanding, disrespectful little shit and very, very unhinged. Older player though, some D name (Destiny?), not a newbie like you. Aegoth is usually more patient. I can safely say that if you're respectful IC instead of being an absolute waste like the other one we can definitely get you inducted!
From my understanding, you went directly to OOC tells (with no marks to indicate so) with Aegoth, while he remained IC the entire time, starting off with "man fuck this" and went on to complain about the IC conversation you had with Taryius regarding joining Mhaldor (re: he cannot induct you, because you have to talk to the Ambassador. Mechanics from him being in leadership give him the command to induct you, but it's not his job or even something he's ever done.)
I'm sorry whatever in your real life is painful and you are struggling, but whether a "newb" or not (the character is older than mine is, even, but I understand a long time away can render you basically as a newbie), you have to follow the process each city sets out for people to join. If you wanted to join the city instantly to start playing, it would have been better to make a newbie, as you could have joined the city out of the tutorial (which would have been helpful in teaching you to play again). Once you learned enough, you could continue on that newbie, or go back to the older character and start picking out what you want to do on them, instead.
It seems you're resolved to quit Achaea nonetheless, but should you ever choose to return, I hope this helps somewhat.
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
