Haypi Kingdom: A Game Apart
For those who wish to spend their free time amassing troops, resources and indeed friends this is the game. Other MMORPGs lack the intimate quality of the chatroom, which unlike some requires no special quality before you can post. You may be, like me, an often-silent listener who although occasionally posting prefers to dip in and out of conversations. Or you may be more vocal, lending help and support to those who require it and is often too gladly received. Some, however, prefer to push the limits of the chatroom to their furthest; they are usually quickly silenced. The subtle and not-so-subtle interactions between those who may never meet is an awesome sight, watching friendships blossom and sometimes crushed under the weight of electronic impulses.
Sociology is an area of high interest to me and trying to guess and second-guess people's motives behind such topics as shopping, gameplay and occasionally harder stuff such as religion and Hitler (the latter proving only the ignorance of some players) has relegated me to the background, silently observing, quietly listening, wistfully watching.
A good pun is its own re-word.
