X B A N D W I D T H Dev Updates #3 2023.04.20 DIABLO 4/20 Happy IV/XX! Welcome to the official website for all things XBAND Guild, and the third devpost for this online recreational hobby. It's been more than three years since the last update I made here. My world turned upside down forever the very same morning I had planned to post an update on October 1st of 2020, looking forward to the slew of holiday events beginning in online games and real life. Before I got around to uploading anything, I received a phone call from my sister that my mother had just been taken away from home by ambulance, and subsequently later that day she was no longer with us. A lot of my motivation and interest in my all time favorite hobby became stalled, and I missed out entirely on many of the gaming content I had been looking forward to all year: the Halloween events in Animal Crossing, Phantasy Star Online, and World of Warcraft. In fact, I skipped out entirely on the Shadlowlands expansions as I felt the grief was too near with me to play an expansion taking place in the afterworld so soon after what had happened. Enough time has passed for me to recognize that it should be much clearer now to realize that spending as much time as possible having fun with friends and family is not only important, but in no way dishonors the memories or sullies the importance of those no longer able to join us. That being said, playing the Diablo IV beta with friends was the most fun I've had playing an online game in quite some time, and I do really hope this is the one that will bring us back together from the divergence that naturally occurs from adulthood. I of course realize the Silver Age days of raiding together and everyone meeting up for dinner afterwards are long gone, but being able to play together again in any capacity would be awesome. As far as updates to the site go, I have finally begun adding some profiles on our members on the Player List page, starting with Kykyo and Elara. I hope you enjoy taking a peek at them, and hope to add more soon. 2023 is the year I'm looking forward to going back to Hell with the crew. - XBAND.GM
