Screw this. Screw it all. As of 7/22/09, I'm outta here. I don't feel like being all boring and dramatic, so I'm just going to come right out and say why I'm leaving: It's boring. Seriously. It's boring as hell and I'm tired of it. I've tried to make my stay here fun. Hell, I even got selected as a beta tester for zomg. But really, that's where it all went to pieces.

When I first played zomg as a zeta, it was fun for the first hour. Then the newness wore off and I didn't feel like trying for half an hour just to get in the game. After that it seemed like everyone I knew just got tired of gaia. I was actually the one who asked them to stay, can you believe that? I can't think of a reason that I would want to stay now, much less others.

I've put over a hundred dollars into this piece of crap. Paid gaia for these special items thinking it would make me rich here. At the time I was happy. If I had known then just how bad gaia's economy was, I never would have been. I have a job in real life. I don't need to spend hours a day on the forum or playing cards trying to make money. And the funny part is, I was almost there, too. That was one of the things that turned me away. That is, when I realized that I had been slaving away here just trying to reach my first mill.

There's no further reason for me to stay here. I have my gold, and my password is good enough that I have no reason to fear any crackers trying to get my account. I've found that as time goes on, everyone on your "friends" list will gradually disappear. Every. Single. One. Not even just the standard excuse most people give, like the "oh, we just don't talk anymore" bullshit. I mean they literally leave gaia. I've tried continually made new friends. I literally adopted around 15 newbies or so, and set them up. Guess how many stayed with gaia? (Here's a hint, you can count them on the number of tails you have. Oh wait, that's zero, isn't it?)

I'm ending this farce. I've invested enough time into gaia. If the only way that it's going to be fun by making craploads of friends and praying that 2 of them are actually nice enough to chat with you once in a while then I'm out.

If I'm logged in and don't make a journal entry saying I've returned, then I'm just checking to see if any of my "friends" have come back or seeing what the latest cool fun stupid bullshit the people in extended discussion are talking about so I can have a nice laugh.

To make a long story short: I'm leaving. Peace out.
