Through Thick and Thin: My Haypi Adventures-Haypi Article
As it was done downloading, it was time for dinner. I had prepared a delicious steak dinner. I decided the game testing could wait as a sank my teeth into a juicy steak. as I was done, I left the table, got to my itouch, and opened the app. For some reason, I was nervous. I really did have high hopes for the app Haypi Kingdom I just downloaded. As I opened the app, so my eyes opened as well. Before me, I found a complicated game of adventure and war.
I knew nothing about the app so I decided to read the help guide. Thus, my Haypi adventure started. As I slowly learned how to play, I realized there were others I was playing with. And as I found out about world chat, my game experience increased ten fold. I also went ballistic and told all my friends about it and how awesome it was. Most were hesitant and thought it was going to be lame. Eventually I got one of my good friends to download it for me to help me finish my "refer 1" task. He didn't want to play it but decided to give the game a chance. My friend saw that it was amazing and we played together.
Although I had a friend and knew a little about the game, I realized that I was in need of help from someone experienced. I soon leveled up to the Third Barron level, and became quickly aware of other players. I became a farming target for most around me. They would attack me three to five times a day for my city's resources. I became in need of people who would protect me. I was aware of the rule that people couldn't attack their fellow alliance members so I applied for a position at the alliance Trusoljas- as one of their members was actively attacking me. I found this the safest way to stop the attacks. Even though I joined the alliance to stop the player from attacking me, I learned much more from that wonderful alliance.
There in the Trusoljas alliance, I met two players (Gethrobo and Mountain) that made Haypi Kingdom the game it is for me. They taught me everything I needed to know. They taught me how to command in war, ways to level up, how to gain prestige and resources quickly; they were just an overall great help. As they were both vices in the alliance, they were just doing their jobs by helping the new players like me. Later I was able to earn my position as a vice leader in that great alliance, and even passed up a few that helped me out. I was excelling greatly. The one who use to farm me was now a good 3 levels lower than I.
Things were going amazing until the day I lost everything. Our alliance was at war with an alliance called Bloodlust. They warped all their cities to mine, cropped me, wiped my entire army and farmed me for days. My alliance was doing their best to help me but were dealing with the same problem. I felt defeated and torn. My view of Haypi became grim and I felt the sting of war. I knew not of it before and was considering quitting. I felt like there wasn't room in Haypi Kingdom for me anymore. But I was so blessed to have friends that help me realize that it was a war game and that those things happen, that it only makes you stronger and more experienced. If it wasn't for them I know that my life would be missing the game that permanently marked my life.
As I barley escaped that battle of quitting, I realized that my friends were right. I grew stinger, had a bigger army and became way less of a target. People were more hesitant to attack me and I started wiping others. I became a Haypi Master. Although my army wasn't nearly as big as others, my strengths were in the knowledge of the game. I now began to expand. I started completing the "Task 36" by creating new accounts. As I did this, I used my knowledge of Haypi Kingdom to start helping other servers and new players. I found that helping new ones love the game as I do, made the game mire fun for me. I had players that I taught how to play Haypi, challenge me. Although I won the wars against most of them, I was so excited players were getting the "Haypi Fever!" The whole experience has been a blast that could never be replaced- EVER. What used to be a regular, normal itouch to me soon became the holder of one of my closest friends.
Through thick and thin as I learned the ropes and discovered new things in this amazing game, I realized that it's about having fun, working together, building friendships, and overall enjoying the game.
A very special thank you to: Haypi Kingdom, The Support team, Haypi Kingdom players: Mountain, Gethrobo, Complicate/Citylights, Erin87, Daltara,Trusmaniac, Herogal22, and all the others I have met along the way for greatly impacting my life and Haypi for the better.
