Here is a song
from the wrong side of town
where I'm bound
to the ground
by the loneliest sound
that pounds from within
and is pinning me down
Here is a page
from the emptiest stage
a cage or the heaviest cross ever made
a gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid
And I thank you
for bringing me here
for showing me home
for singing these tears
finally I've found
that I belong here
The heat and the sickliest
sweet smelling sheets
that cling to the backs of my knees
and my feet
I'm drowning in time
to a desperate beat
And I thank you
for bringing me here
for showing me home
for singing these tears
finally I've found
that I belong
Feels like home
I should have known
from my first breath
God send the only true friend
I call mine
pretend that I'll make amends
the next time
befriend the glorious end of the line
And I thank you
for bringing me here
for showing me home
for singing these tears
finally I've found
that I belong here.
....I love this LS....
That was a post from a dear friend who recently left my LS it saddens me what happens in this game lately seems more and more people are making peeps take sides (Wear our Shell 99% or you get kicked from HNMLS's). Having to lose old friends after months and months together really is a sad state affairs. I feel like I entered back into Junior High lately and been forced to join a gang or get my lunch money taken everyday. Sad very very sad state of affairs. So far the journey with who I considered true friends has been great waking up to never see or read that friends post anymore has made this game far worse.
Just needed to write that for some reason really don't know why.
Time to reflect on the time spent here forming friendships seems the game can change on a dime. I look forward to the patch but I really am missing the game that it was last year when I started. Shiva has changed I have changed I am now 73 and so jaded it isn't funny. I miss being a true newbie when everything was fresh and new and my friendships seemed to last through thick and thin. The end game is on the horizon but so far the beginning looks so much brighter than the end. Maybe grinding has taken it's toll the divison in people the hate I see is just depressing. Where the story ends I do not know I know it will never be the same again. Where is your home?

*sigh*.... /em femwhisper cries...... How sad!
Some of what you posted here seems to be so true! I recently have watched two friends, who were high levels, like yourself, get so discouraged, for so many different reasons that they have started brand new characters and are on the verge of completely getting rid of the original character.....characters who helped me at a time that I was brand new to this game - with no questions asked! Led me on my first long walk to Jeuno......helped me with my choco license......quests/ missions....mentored me..protected me from pirates on the ship to Selbina.....led me to beautiful Bibiki Bay...and now as they rose to new heights found that they felt there was no one to help them; that the struggle just to stay ahead was great; everyone was busy trying to earn quests...do LB1, or 2....get AF gear, etc.
There's a certain freshness about being 'new' and just starting out in this game....that as we progress and grow get's lost. We forget that it's a 'game' not a job....that we should keep the same blind innocense we started with. Smile more.
To me, there's a great sadness to losing my two friends - even though they will come back as new characters....I looked up to them as my heroes......something to aspire to...someone to lean on....never realizing that they too needed the same and everyone was too busy to give it to them!
So all you lower levels, (and I still consider myself one)...Here's what I did: if you know your friend feels this way, make a point of spending some time with them! Tell them how awesome they are and how needed they are; offer to lend them a shoulder (or 'tail' in my case, hehe) Don't let them give up now! We need all of you higher levels - someone to aspire to - admire and drool over, (hehe)! Maybe we can't power level them, or give them gil for new equipment, or help them on a quest or mission. Maybe what we all need to do is remember that sometimes it's the simple things in life that provide the most fun!
Seriously we need to keep all of you from taking the path of Kenshyn's friend.....let's keep the magic of Vanadiel fresh and new and fun - like it was intended to be!
