Dear Drew,

I agree that yes, this game is getting worse because as you stated, crystals are now extremely difficult to obtain. Temporary crystal producers are a joke and really make me mad, and there are no more good promotions like crystals for dinos. And as I shamefully admitted in my blog, I have spent actual money on this game, because I am apparently missing the necessary luck, tips, and tricks required to have a magnificent village without spending anything (but that is another story). I am wondering, what made you so mad that pushed you over the edge and resulted in the termination of your village?

Listen, a lot of people are closet nerds and have hobbies that they are not proud of and do not share with their family and friends. People don't tell their family and friends about the progress they made in skyrim on the xbox, or their quests in word of warcraft, or their new magic the gathering card. And no, I don't tell my family or friends (except sometimes my husband, but he's a nerd too) about my tiny village. Yeah, I am a grown up, and tiny village is quite childish, but if I enjoy playing it, what does it matter? I am a super busy working mom, and I rarely spend any money on or get any time for myself. Like other fantasy worlds, my tiny village just offers me a break from thinking/worrying about everything that needs to be done and all my grown-up responsibilities. I enjoy it, and clearly a lot of other adults do too, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Do I personally want people to know I play this game? No. In fact, I haven't even liked it on facebook because I don't want people to know I like it.

So to answer your question, no, my tiny village is not something that I am particularly proud of and I do not share it with friends and family. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a nerdy hobby that you enjoy. Whether you keep it to yourself or share it with others, that's up to you.

It's okay to take pride in your tiny village- I will not judge you :)
