I don't know why i had to do this ok?
U know those great PG moments that make it all worthwhile? Like meeting great friends and working together? Kicking or getting kicked around by a boss? Finding a rare item?
Well just a few moments ago just when i was gonna log off. This character walks up to me and says 'hi'. And after a LOT of perserverance (or time stalling) i get a reply in English.
This character was being played by a SEVEN year old girl from Poland and she was sitting on her mother's lap! XD
I know! "Aaaaaaw!" right? So as bushed as i was i stayed on to TRY and explain to the mother about PG's basics so she cld translate to her daughter. And after a VERY hard conversation (for me) i watched them go on their own merry way.
For some wierd unexplained reason THAT little experience felt SO heart warming and (dare i say) better than finding a gem! Yes, i believe this is wat PG should be like and wat it's all about. XD
Sorry for ranting on for so long and on something so random!

I can see many great things about you around the forums, but sadly, I never had the chance to meet you in-game, RoN. What you did was extremely kind and considerate for them, though I didn't actually see the conversation that took place. A few months ago, around March, me and a handful of players (around 7 or 8) had the opportunity to answer some of the administrators' questions... in a chatroom on Skype! One question that popped up in relation to your heartwarming one was: "Why do you play PG?" Well. I recall that the replies were unanimous: relaxing, kind and caring players/groups, and shooting the breeze. I do not recall "finding items" or that sort (though TheLeaf could correct me on this)  I am also starting to rant on, RoN, haha.. but I absolutely agree with you. PG is a lot more than just finding gems, and it certainly seems that all there is to PG is finding gems and becoming better than the best... but to what extent? The best times in PG are the times you group with friends, help out newbies, and just simply relax. This is why I came back after being away for 2 months. It wasn't that I was SUPER busy (I was busy), but I simply could not stay away... Let's hope PG remains this way... |

True Ron And that is heartwarming that little girl and her mother were understanding the beauty of PG. However as i insist that little girl should not play PG in her age because PG is not a perfect community for her to stay. I dare to say there is a lot of negativities in PG. Regardless the addictation of playing computer game that would wasted instead of outdoor activity and homework time and etc. And the unbehaved language from a lot of player could bring influence to this little girl. And apparently, each parents concern about their children from their surrounding. Even there are many good players that balance out the bad players but from a mother's perspective that is not good enough because they always want their child deserve the best.~! However I know your motivation is adorable but please think about the bad influence to this little girl and think as mother's perspective.~>_~<

I understand how kwula feels coz actually the thought of the vulgarities spoken by some players seem too much for the 7 year old came to my mind too. Then I thought, it's good she doesn't understand english xD I'm also assuming that each time she plays, she's sitting on her mom's lap. Also agree with cloudstrife that it's the playing environment that's pulling us to PG. At least, most of us xD I know some people who just come in to chat with friends xD |

Well that IS true and i'll be sure to keep that in mind. I musta been really tired or sumthin if i didn't think bout that... But judging from what i heard that night, people from Poland must not speak English a lot. Even the girl's mom was havin trouble deciphering wat i was saying...
Which also gets me kinda curious bout Polish swear words... hmmm... Wonder wat it sounds like...
Anyhoo thanx CloudStrife for all the praises, i'm not worthy really. If u want u could add me in PG if u want. My user name should be under the "Introductions" section in the forum. (Truth be told it was so long that i forgot it) XD
May PG be a fun and safe place for all! XD
