Lost in a Wonderland Online; 2

But then I went afk, which then turned into a hiatus, not for very long, for about 3-4 months. But when I got back, things were wrong. I would be in a conversation with the whole guild, yet some would obviously not respond or converse with each other at all. Many made some very obvious jabs at each other which made each other. I noticed that there were a hell of new people but I didn't mind, they were just new people I could make friends with. But when I asked a close friend, she's almost like an aunt to me, what was actually happening.

She said the guild leader Zuli, had invited a lot of new people, and one including a guy called 'Angelisha' (*names all at least slightly changed for their privacy*) who was apparently changing the way things were run. Zuli was apparently putty in his hands, just eager to please him and do what he wanted to do, even if it was to go against the majority of the guild, the majority of her friends. And so one guy had set up another guild called AaB, and since the majority of my friends were going there, I decided to go as well. Unfortunately, that meant the end of that time and it really just went a bit downhill from there :(

Not a very decent picture, but still, the artists of this game are amazing!
I think this is so beautiful <3
Maybe I'm just being overly dramatic, sad and pathetic. But I really do miss them D: Now the new guild AaB is very, very quiet. Hardly anyone goes on, and it has been a long time since I heard anyone talk on it at all. I message a few people, but now what I'm trying to do is talk a lot more on (World) chat so that maybe I can make more friends and be able to find some people who are actually active. I could never bring myself to destroy the game fully, it's like one thing that reminds me of a happier time. It was truly a time where I was 'on top.' There were no exams, no financial problems, no nothing.

But  hey, it paid off, I got into all my schools, even scoring a full scholarship at one of the top 5 schools of London :D But I just miss it I guess x3 there probably will be a time where I will delete, just because whenever I go on it and no one's online, I get just that little bit sad xD

Empty hallways;

This is the bag which I was talking about that I bought from Granada :) If you go there, they're usually about 10 each, but some really rip off places charge up to €30! But you can haggle it lower and the best excuse is 'I only have €8.14...' *sad-face* and usually they'll let you, plus it's a great way to get rid of change ;) These bags are really pretty and can actually hold A LOT of stuff! They have two pockets in the front for your main accessories/stuff you need quick and regular access to (your phone, keys, wallet etc.) 



But beware, all the buttons will fall off, so make sure you have a couple handy at home, or just buy some really cheaply at local markets. When you pick your bad though, make you looks for any loose threads or other bad craftsmanship, you don't want your bag to start unravelling! They come in a whole variety of colours, and contain and I've been looking for a nice rucksack in London everywhere! But what I love about this is that when it's dirty, you can just pop it in the wash and all will be okay! 

Instead of just ending this as a very short post, I decided to begin my next series of blogs x3 so...prequel time! 

This sounds weird, but I used to LOVE this online game called Wonderland Online. I went on it when I was about 10-12 and I loved it so much. But when I was 11, revision for my 11+ exams began (so that I could gain entry into a secondary school). My time online went from everyday, to once a week...once a month....and then once every December (we go to China for Christmas and my computer there used to be the only one that had the program installed). But every time I went on, I was filled with both incredible joy and melancholy. The glorious virtual music would make me feel like as if I was on an adventure, and I get filled with a childish glee when new quests have been added.


But then people started leaving. They left without a trace. Some of the closest unfortunately without any contact details whatsoever. But this story is way too long to explain in one blog post...so I'm really sorry...but I may have to bore you with more of my sequel posts!

'I was in a guild LaF (standing for Lost and Found). It was such a wonderful guild, everyone was so friendly, it was childish of me to say it was almost like a utopia. People were active, they talked regularly on guild chat so you were never lonely, there was always someone to help you in a quest, everyone saw each other as family- we even called each other sisters/brother/mum/uncle/dad etc. I can confidently and seriously say that I was friends with the 60 or so people in that guild. It was a great time :D

One girl I found out was living in England as well! This caused me to rejoice as with the majority of sites and virtual worlds, most of the users were American :3 We added each other on Facebook, she's slightly older than me by 2 years, but we got along really well! And I can't really remember how this came about, but we just started writing letters to each other :) We both loved drawings and we would just send each other pictures, and doodle as well xD
