I think that all of the complications behind leaving a RP FC (or guild in any game, really), is why the FC that my husband I run is currently set up like a mercenary company. If there's an OOC reason for you to leave like going to help friends, finding a group that you fit better with on an IC and OOC level, it's as easy as literally 'I've found other options that I want to pursue'. Your character easily detaches from the company, and you can move on pretty seamlessly.Â
I've left guilds for a lot of different reasons, some IC, some OOC, across multiple MMO's. A lot of the time as long as you make sure that the departure is friendly, it doesn't seem to be a huge deal. Being friendly is as simple as letting the leadership know that you want to move yourself and your character in another direction. I've had to stretch to find IC reasons to leave, but I've never had to abandon a character to get away from that guild.Â
Even with my character tangled very far into the plot, I've always been able to find a logical reason to detach myself from that group. It all depends on what's going on. I think, like with anything else, communication with the guild/FC leadership is very important in a clean and simple break. Hard feelings make this more difficult, obviously, but it's still possible.
