Notes

Hi everyone, since it's almost impossible to get you all online at the same time and mails or group chats are not good enough for long texts, I hope you can read it all from here. Basically...I'm leaving the game for good.

I know you guys appreciate me, I have felt that since almost the beginning and it is just something that I'm grateful with all my heart. And it's been almost the only reason I didn't left earlier, but it's time to say goodbye. If you wanna know the reasons, and have some free time to read it, here they go:

- When I started I was just opening my own clinic...I had like 0 patients, almost 0 friends (since I'm back in town after 7 years abroad) and well, lots of free time. This game and you all made me really happy since it (and you) gave me what I needed the most. But my business started to grow really fast and now there are days I start prepping for work at 8 am and arrive home at 10 pm; free time changed from being a burden to being a very scarce resource, and that made the game experience from something to kill the free hours to a huge list of chores to do real quick in the very few moments I had in the day...so instead of working in my favor, I became the game's slave. And that's not fun.

- Since I spent almost all my free time time to keep up with the game chores, I realized I'm just not doing anything to improve my life; nothing to meet other people, stopped working out because "I don't have time for it"...the other day I just sat in a park's bench outside of my clinic and drank a coffee there while getting warm in the sun and watching some kids playing: that 20 minutes filled me with more joy than 1 week of playing. I realized I'm missing the real life pleasures.

- Also, I started paying more and more money on the game, and that felt ok since I was earning more money but looking back I realized I didn't need to pay that money to play the game...I was paying to be able to be on top, to be useful, to be "important"...and man I don't want to have to pay for that. I felt like I was buying some self-steem instead of earning it in real life like I always did.

I could go on, but I guess you all can see the point clearly enough to not ask me to stay. And believe me, I love you all for wanting to, I had loud laughs with you, shared intimate moments, learnt a lot, and I wish there was a way to keep having that and also not having to deal with all the negative side I found in this game (or this kind of games in general, in where I have a long carreer that feels like a vicious circle). If you let me I'd like to join some skype chats or maybe ingame while I still have the account, but as this always happen, I know I'll be just getting away slowly because I'll miss lots of stuff not being in the game everyday.

So I want to thank you all again, you are some awesome human beings that I really really wish I could have in my real life context, hang with you all and take some beers and stuff. Good luck everywhere and please, someone tell me when you all defeat Huju, I wanna know about that!!

PS: I'm selling my account cheap, not the point of this message but if any of you wanna have a top10 account in 373 so you can use it as a weapon in the merge or something, contact me and I'm sure we can have a deal that makes both happy.
PS2: Sorry in advance if I can't reply to all of you in chats or something where the messages get lost with time, as I said free time is scarce lately :(
PS3: I can't say it enough: THANK YOU ALL.

With love, Javi (Javier for Rose).
