Hello all,
No, I am not going to quit, not even really sure why am even writing this, I guess I am just verbalising my disappointment
My wife and I have been playing this game for many more years then either would care to admit. Throughout the years we have made many great friendships with the people we have met both inside and outside of the game.
Over the years we have also found ourselves in a position to be able to help some of those people - in particularly, those who have found themselves in need of some financial assistance.
Now, given the transient nature of some of the relationships you build in the virtual world, we have always been mindful of the fact that each time we did help someone it was on the understanding that the money would be lost - so we never offered out more than we were prepared to lose if not repaid. However to our surprise the funds always seemed returned eventually to be available again if and when required.
However, recently none of our help has been returned - as I said, this money was used on the understanding that the next person's may not return it, but I guess given the history over the years I had become complacent and never really anticipated or excepted the possibility when it would not be returned.
However, sad to say our more recent efforts have not been returned
I suppose more than anything I am just extremely disappointed - because I put a lot of faith in people and each time something like this happens to you you become little more sadden, society weighs a little heavier on your shoulders and as much as you hope it doesn't, it will impact on what future decisions you are able to make.
My wife says I spend too much time looking at the world through 'Rose coloured Glasses' and this is what the modern world is - that may be true, but over the years, inside and around this game I have been able to insulate myself from the nasty world outside and escape if but for a short time.
Unfortunately that appears no longer possible ...........
