Sanity Check!
Listen. Things are crazy these days. But they don't have to be as bad as they may seem and they won't be for long. Really.
This isn't about herbs or alts or houses. It's about the fact that change and uncertainty make folks anxious. And though we're all individuals with varying tolerance for change & uncertainty, we're a part of a group and groups feed off of each other. We eat up the good and bad and spit it back out as it came in. It's just what groups do.
We've had a lot thrown at us in the last few days. We went back to beta (omg what does that mean?! will there be a reset?!) and we learned more about the housing changes (ohno! i'm going to have to move?!) and we've gotten a load of new skills that have effected the market and nobody is quite sure what is and is not allowed as far as alts.
It's completely understandable that the forums and chats are a bit nuts and that people are on edge. But remember...
We can and will get through this. As my mom likes to say "this too shall pass". So let's try to make it as easy and fun as possible in the meantime.
- Be a bit more considerate and understanding of your fellow Glitchen... they might just be a bit anxious and stressed out.
- Share a hug or a smile when you meet with folks at shrines or while waiting for the subway. (If you press 1 when you're in the game window, you'll get a funny wtf face. If you press 3 you'll get a smile.)
- Take some of your random crappe and hide it around ur.
- Leave milk at your neighbors' doorsteps. Or, if you're feeling a bit mischievious, a piggy plop or pile of eggs.
- Have a potions party.
- Whatever... have a cool idea? share it in the comments :)
Just have fun. This is a game, after all. A game we're all quite passionate about or we wouldn't care so much. Most importantly, try not to let the crabbiness get to you. And if you're feeling crabby (or nervous or anxious or pissed or annoyed or sad or whatever), come to me... my bear has a fuzzy butt and isn't afraid to show it!
