Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay. I'm just going to rant about towns here. If you have a few stories feel free to chime in.

I swear I get a headache everytime I go there and I know that there are more mature people who log onto there or I can change to a different area. I must ask because maybe someone has the answer. Why is that every time I go there it is full of children who can't talk or think, or teens/adults who think it is fun to...talk dirty in front of others?

I was sitting on here bored one day and decided I hadn't been in towns for a while (I had forgotten why). So I hop on and choose a crowded area to people watch. After a while I got a little pissed reporting possible predators and gold spamers. while I was reporting one this kid, that's right kid, walks up to me and asks me why i'm not talking to people. I said I like to people watch. He asked what people watching was. When I explained it to him he called me a stalker started to shout it. I finally ignored him. I know I'm not a stalker but it still bothers me.

((sorry if I posted in wrong area. But it is said that ranting once in a while is relaxing and theraputic))

Oh. I'm with you there. Just because they speak text doesn't mean everyone else does.

I only go to Towns currently for two reasons:
Collecting things ....... mostly trash, bugs & a little Gold .....
and to see if i come across some interesting conversations ....

A few weeks back, i really got a pleasant surprise:
Two was speaking Swedish!
I'm from Sweden myself, and the were talking about cosplay conventions, so i started talk with them ...... biggrin

Me and some friends meet at one spot in the towns to play "chess", on the boards that are in almost every area. Though kids like that will come jump to the spot and do exactly what you're talking about. The fire is burning 5-6 people most of the time, its really annoying.

When I go into the towns I avoid the crowded areas and just stick to collecting bugs, gold, the old boots, and tin cans. I don't like talking to people in there because they all are either cybering or talking in chat speak, which bothers me!
