#### Thanks TS! (more connectedness)

I have been feeling more connected with other Glitchen lately! I leave messages and packages with butlers, and have received messages and packages that have made me smile :) I feel more connected through the trade channel and find it fun sometimes to buy and sell in ways that aren't as faceless as the auction house. I don't think anything's wrong with the auctions at all. But it's fun to go to someone's home street to buy and feel more like you're supporting a person, or talking to Glitchen about deals or thanking them/being thanked for transactions. I've had butlers talk to me by name when I was on a home street - and even giving out and accepting gifts, while it isn't quite as personal as a one-on-one gift, lets me know that on the other side of the butler is another Glitch and it makes me hope they are having as much fun with the game as I am. I love being able to comment on people's snaps - so many neat and fun and silly things to be shared! - and I'm sure there's tons more I'm forgetting.
I think there is definitely a lot of room to grow in this area. A lot of new players have trouble finding Global chat, for example. But I'm so excited about these past changes, and I look forward to new changes such as group halls. So yes, just wanted to share this with you as it has just hit me lately how pleased I am at all these exciting things :)

- I love the way TS has made it so easy to visit other's streets.. Our home streets seemed lonely at first - before we could "visit". The structure now reminds me a great deal of Faunasphere, which I loved dearly. I think all that's left that I'm imagining looking forward to, in order to complete my social circuiting, is the group halls.

- I remember before the housing reset, I had all kinds of glitchen living on my street that I never even met - I am loving the set-up now!

- I rarely ever saw anyone out on my block with the old houses. I knew glitchen still lived there 'cause the notes would change. 'Nary a soul. And I always hurried to my house when I entered the block. Heaven forbid someone should find me loitering near a house not my own, just didn't feel right.
  Now, I'm the only one who lives on my street and I see people all the time. They come to my street, they come to my tower. It's a little overwhelming for me, but over the past couple weeks I have actually been using Global chat. And for talking to people even! I knew it was there, of course, but for the past 11 months I've not connected with anyone in the game, or talked to anyone, or took part in anything. I just did my quests and if they needed others I skipped them.
  Since the new houses, we've got the routes, which open the way for visits. The more people visit me, the more comfortable I am visiting others. Now the chat panel is open, then I'm adding contacts. I spent the first 10 1/2 months I played this game with 2 contacts, both of which never actually played, they just made an account and were facebook "friends". Now my glitch account is starting to look like my Facebook; full of people I have no idea who they are. But they took the time to add me. I recently helped with my first rook attack and then a couple more. Been to a couple house parties, a protest and helped others with quests (not to mention finally finished all those low lvl social quests I had piled up).
  So yes, thank you TS for making this game more and more like an interconnected community.
