I've never experienced a setback that big.
The closest thing I have is when my data from a net game I continued playing for several years to the point of being an invalid, was deleted.
The instant I got the Bad Login message and Account Suspension mail, my heart's pounding got intense, I spent almost a full day unable to think of anything.
After protesting to the administrations, crying out thoroughly, and finally crying myself to sleep.
After that, I couldn't motivate myself to do anything for a month.
That time, I swore to myself that I would never seriously play net games again.
