Same here. I started playing and loved the gameplay. Thought that was what the whole deal was about. I had only gotten on the forums at first because I ran into a glitch... I usually "avoided" people on the game because that's what I do in real life. But over the last several months, the more I was on the forums and the more I hung out with people in-game, the more I realized that it's the people... I love the gameplay, don't get me wrong lol but I love hanging out with everyone even more... and that is something I never thought I would say, considering I'm an introvert and quite shy in real life. Believe it or not
So thank you to all who have made The Aetherlight so much more special and fun
