For those long gone but not fogotten...
A question lurks the mind as often as it comes up, as often as it's been asked.
"So, why do you play this game?"
Many answers without thought, but there seem to be two answers for me personally.
1. The simplicity and accessibility nature of the game governed by one's interest. Further elaborating on this point, the simple yet ingenious mechanics of the game makes it interesting. Fun to casual players who can upgrade certain things and walk away from the game. Fun to the more serious players filled with pride who wants to master the mechanics and prove their haypi skills worthy.
2. The community chat. The diverse range of "random" people who comes on to chat with total strangers and sooner than expected. It hits us, feelings enveloped when we start to care more, start to socialize with certain people, interests intertwined and affections developed towards certain people.
These "friends" who most of us seldom ever get the opportunity to meet yet becomes a powerful part, shaping our thoughts and the ways we interact with others.
Reality unexpectedly comes and the friends we've known even those who have betrayed us... for whatever reasons possible... it hurts more then expected and is saddenly to see, everytime we acknowledge that person will no longer come on.
Ultimately, Haypi is a game. A game, one cannot be expected to play forever; however, nobody should doubt the importance of this game because it’s a place where we've met many great people. Sooner or later, they come and go for reasons of boredom, busy lifestyle etc.
But it’s the moments we can look back and say, "It's been great because i got the chance to meet you, to get to know you, to be there whenever i needed to rant and vent, to be my support and aide...
The Trust we had and shared, slowly and surely... i see myself back on haypi, never knowing if i have it within me to start that all over again. A new friendship with another stranger who i can come to trust as much as i did you...
We'll be friends in Haypi and more so, we'll keep being friends out of Haypi.
