The first time I was paling around with the orc was for RP reasons at around the 100 hour mark. I wrote a role entry about it; the whole night/day thing which I was seeking a cure.

The second time I was paling around with the orc was towards the 190 hour mark because I had given up on the character.

I agree with you though that my RP started off strong and diminished into generic evil healer #103442 by the end. I would have liked to have been put out of my misery earlier though and told that I was not going to be further empowered. Like you mentioned via email, we both appreciate and value our own time.
