While this blog has died 2 years ago, I still come back once in a while to remember what it used to be like playing Aion everyday, making silly memes and videos, hanging out here and meeting new friends on Tumblr. It’s a nostalgic and a bittersweet feeling. I recall these times very fondly and I think of them as a really beautiful time in my life growing up. I came to Aion and Tumblr when I was 15, now I am 21. It’s a short period in a larger scale, but very important years for a growing and developing person.
I met so many people through here that became really close friends. We’ve been through wonderful and hard times together, sharing our in-game and real life stories. So many adventures, endless night talks and other silliness. It’s weird to think this way about a video game and online people, but it is the way it is. These feelings are fond and will forever remain in my heart.
On the other hand, it’s a bit sad. Aside from memories, everything feels lost. How the developers butchered the game to a point where it doesn’t even feel the same anymore. It doesn’t give the same feeling, the same vibe. There was something beautiful back then, something that made you want to come back. It might just be a hazy memory, but there is no denying the game has gone worse, not better. And in the end, all the connections we’ve made are lost, people disappeared, went on with their lives.
Is there any conclusion to this message? Nah, not really. I just wanted to get this off my mind into the void. Maybe hear from people who still remember me and share these feelings too.
