City first released shortly after I first moved away from home to go to college. I picked it up just as I was starting out on my own, and it was there through some big life changes; school, pressure, employment... relationships.. and deaths.
The years went by, but City was always there if I needed to unwind. If I needed to clear my head. If I wanted to indulge my imagination. If I couldn't sleep.
When I lost family.
When I needed fellowship.
And then it wasn't.
All the time I spent meticulously tweaking costumes, writing backstories, swapping stories, exploring every inch of content, collecting nearly every badge possible, building a sprawling 1-man base with a decade worth of solo effort.. all wiped away. We didn't just quit a game, where we could pick it back up again some day and our stuff would still be there; it was simply deleted despite thousands of heartfelt pleas and protests.
And for many long years it was simply gone.
But now its here again, all of it. More than before. Honestly I can't really express how much that means. Maybe I didn't really realize how much it meant.
Thank you
