For anyone who’s feeling silly about getting emotional over the loss of Wildstar, I talked about it with a friend who doesn’t play MMOs, and also expressed the same thought, and here’s what she had to say:
“It was a big part of a lot of peoples’ lives and they invested a lot of time into it, found and maintained friendships because of it. It’s natural to feel sad just like with any big change to someone’s life. Psychologically speaking it would be the same as being forced to move out of a town you’ve lived in for, what, 10 years? Real or virtual, it doesn’t matter to your brain. So yeah, it’s okay and totally understandable to feel lost right now. People will say it’s just a game but fuck those guys ‘cause they don’t understand. The emotional and mental commitment is the same.“
It’s okay to feel your feelings.
