i hate her.
And what do I do on that dark day that zOMG dies? Go back to the forums, where an old relic like me is neither read, respected nor revered? Not appealing. For me, the days of making friends in forums are over.
I completely agree.
I remember when I first started playing on Gaia and one of my friends in real life was telling me about this new game they were coming out with that he was hoping to be a beta tester for. But I didn't even try it out for a long time. I used to just play jigsaw puzzles, and pinball and talk to a couple friends and play around on towns. I'd post on the forums sometimes or lurk them - the GD and some others. What was I thinking? This was back when I'd make an avatar on tektek that was around 250k and think I should maybe do something cheaper. I made like 5k during a week of hard grinding on jigsaws and pinball, lol.
Eventually I got bored, but one of my friends wanted me to come back a year or maybe longer than that later. So I did and I started "humping" trees in towns for gold. Someone on towns told me Booty Grab was better for gold, and after that I heard of zOMG. My first reaction was that it wasn't very good for gold (compared to BG it really wasn't in the beginning), but I went through all the quests even though. I got to 10.0 after 3 weeks of playing casually. Later on, I started doing the main things people burn their time with after they've gotten to the end - Papa Saw, Shallow Seas and End Boss. I got into sEB for a while. I used to sit on Gold Beach just sweet hearting people until I got a crew. I was on a lot, haha. I got a few 5k badges, the halloween event pumpkin fluff one, the anchors and some others, and I was working on a few. I got my TC to 50k and then I started to get bored.
So I tried to find some other things to do with zOMG. I tried to solo some bosses on hard, and play some instances that people don't normally do like the hive. Took some really long hiatuses. Stopped caring. So far I've gotten 6 accounts to level 10.0, but there's not much else to do that's not incredibly time consuming and repetitive (even DMS). I can't be bothered to reach level 12.0 because the instance takes so long and isn't very exciting. I would have loved a new chapter and more places to explore that didn't require a crew. Of course that wasn't possible with the state of zOMG.
Without zOMG there really is nothing else on this site that would ever make me check back. I used to want some items but only so I could have a nice avatar for zOMG. The forums are an awful waste of time. I normally get ignored or rude responses. Towns is a mess, and none of the other games appeal to me.
But I'm no longer attached to zOMG. I won't miss it. But I'll remember it fondly. And I wish the best for JK, though I never attended a dev meet or actually spoke to him. But regardless, I admire his dedication and how he wanted so much for zOMG to survive and improve. I liked the game set up, and the art especially. It was a good run.

Anyway, just reminiscing, you don't have to read all that. xD
Why am I still awake? emotion_facepalm
Sigh...
Good times.

I still remember my first try at zOMG!
As I understand it, it was pre-Nerf, back in the days when they still had the Train Tutorial and you got let out in the Sewers to start.
I wasn't a gamer then (not that I am now, but you know what I mean) and I got my head handed to me again and again by Peelungers and Gramsters, then moved on to be utterly humiliated by the Flamingos in VG.
That was enough for me I'm embarrassed to say, and I moved on to "humping trees" myself
rofl , but that got pretty dull pretty fast, and the few pieces of Gold I got for every splinter and stubbed toe wasn't really worth it for me.
It was almost a year later that I returned, and by then, the Nerf had taken place, and zOMG! was far easier for a neophyte such as myself.
It was the begining of a love affair that last's to this day.
While it's hard for me to ignore what I see going on right now, a piece of me hopes that this will be just another "Developmental Hiatus", and that, once the New Game is up and running on it's own, Gaia will come back to zOMG! and give it the love it so richly deserves.
Most of my brain, the negative, sensible and realistic part of it, tells me that zOMG! will simply be allowed to run as is, for as long as it's profitable, and then be put to an unsympathetic end, and it's hard for my positive side to argue with the logic.
Still. as they say..."where there's life, there's hope", and for now anyways, zOMG! is still alive, so I'm not going to beat my positive side down with relentless logic and fact.
That would'nt be very zOMGaian of me.
