All around me are familiar faces, worn out faces, warn out places...

Hello.

The forums are very different from when I last saw it.

Most of you probably don't know me. Or remember me. My names Daniel. Daniel Degude.

I once played for over 2 years on this game, achieving level 64. I got permabanned though. By Greedy game Empire. (unoriginal pun, I know. It was old when I joined).

My greatest advice: Leave now.

The game at first feels wonderful, So many fun levels, so many fun times. 

I remember the first day I played it. I joined Irish Knobles, which I stayed in til level 36 (about) and I became a deputy there. Twas' fun then.

But no more.

I remember a time before god casts and commanders, when the game was fun. When there were no masses, when there was no madness, when KoN was ruled by Its Organic, and H.I.V.E. was a growing power.

I remember having fun with BBB, and playing with good friends in Victory D.T., during the H.I.V.E. war, which was fun.

Eventually, though, i disagreed with the sentence of KoN, MISC, and DT- the complete annihilation of H.I.V.E.

After that, I left for Elite Guards. They were nice people, but we were practically destroyed by the crazy ones...

After that, I just quit.

I couldn't keep playing.

Until I heard D.T. was beaten. That drove me back.

See, when I was a lowly level 19 or so, I met Kevin (can't remember his full username) of the alliance Victory, which later mostly merged into Dream Team. He was such a good person (why is quite a different story) that when i learned he joined Dream Team, being good enough to enter kinda became a goal of mine. I don't really know why I thought I could even possibly join a cap holding alliance (being only a minor ruby buyer) but i did.

it was my biggest dream... to be part of Dream Team.

But that's the thing, isn't it?

GGE is a game of broken things- broken players, broken buildings, broken alliances, broken trusts.

Lies, betrayels.

So I quit. 

I mean is this game worth what it's caused people to do?

People have literally spent TENS OF MILLIONS... on pixels.

Ultimately, I often find that I have more fun watching an episode of South Park, or playing a game of monopoly, than I do playing this game.

My ultimate advice: Quit. Before you're addicted, or caught up in something crazy. Before it's too late.
