lol I was going to keep quiet and just stalk this page but vampie commented so I will too. Here is what I was planning to say (before I changed my mind);

If you like the game then continue to play it regardless if you have friends or not. In all honesty like real life if you were to move to a new town or move away to college or transfer school or w/e the reason is, you will eventually have to leave your old friends behind. Or vice versa and maybe they are the ones that leave. In the end you will have to make new friends no matter what.

Though at first you may feel lost without them and alone you may move on to another game since that old game brings up painful memories so you leave and meet new friends in that new game. Though you may fiend yourself thinking I wish SpongeBob was here, he/she would have loved this game. So it would make no difference I think if you stayed. Once in a while your old friends will eventually come back even if its to visit and some times there is the rare occasion that they ill stay.

Vamp and I had left this game to play a few others game together. After some time when she quit I also left to because it got lonely and she was the only one I knew in that new world. Eventually I found myself visiting this game again because its like an old town. Although the best friend you had has left there are still people in that town you know; from the creeper who lives next door who spies on you with his binoculars to the cute boy/girl next door you ha a crush on or even that old grannie who gives you sweets when you visit or take her dog out for walks.

So in the end even though your friend is gone and you may feel alone. In truth they are never really gone and you are never really alone and some times you will find yourself making new friends or meeting new people so you have stories to tell that old friend and one new reason to contact them. After all its the 21 century if you miss them you can call, facebook, Skype, email or I dunno send out a falcon or train a pigeon "tweet tweet" ♪♬ ♪♬
