I watched the video..and I realize, towards the end of my TSOing days thats how I felt..seeing all my friends go to various games..

L2, SL, There, SWG, and FFXI..It was to hard on me to not have friends that I have had for well over a year around me daily as I sit on this computer and play an online game..

What I did to attempt to solve this was make sure that I have another mean of connection with them…phone #’s or yahoo mssngr..

For the most part, minus a few, I have the same group of ppl that were around me for 356 days in TSO, now in SWG…

For those that I couldnt get in contact with, and on the offchance that you read this, Im leaving my yahoo ID..PLEASE contact me =)

I star in that video It is a Sad thing and Sandra made it when she was leaving (she’s back now) she made it as a goodbye gift to all her friends although it does hold some truth it does not fully hold truth a lot of those sims featured in that video would never leave without a fight. and me well I make my part of the movie!

that is the thing that hits you about tso. it is exquisitely boring. it is like the designers were so excited about the avatars that they forgot to get them to do anything.

I am a short-time TSO player (under 60 days) and I was blown away by the video. As a matter of fact, I have been thinking the same things — why am I paying for this, what is the point, this is really boring,etc. Usually what happens is that I log on, go to a skill house, put a weight on my enter key, and then go do other things in RL. But what’s the point? Everyone else is doing the same thing, it seems, if they’re there at all. There’s never anyone to talk to. I was struck by the fact when I first came on that everyone I met was either a founder, semi-founder, or a newbie. There’s no in-between hardly. There’s nothing to keep new people in the game.

I don’t know what I’m going to do yet. As I have not really made any close friends in TSO, it wouldn’t be that hard to switch to another game, I just hate losing the time I have invested in this one…

I would like to add my 2 cents.

A very nice video. It personifies what is happening in TSO very well. I played the game back in June-October of last year. I eventually left beacuse it got boring, as well as financial issues. I recently paid for one more month to see if anyone I know is still on, but they have all left for other games long ago. I’ll probably end up leaving after May as well.

Unless Maxis/Electronic Arts can shape up and begin to offer good content to match those of other online games, I doubt that it will remain up for very long. It is very sad, TSO has so much it can be, however, it has been allowed to deterioate .

Wow, what a wonderful video!
Such a talented girl. TSO is about to fall out i’m sure, and I will continue in 2L.
See you there.

What a great contribution that video is… is captures the horrible feeling I have every time I lose a friend on TSO.

I think it is only a matter of time before EA will shut down TSO which is a terrible shame… if only they had put some effort into TSO… it would still be going strong.

I’ve tried There, Second Life and some others… I don’t know where I will end up, but I will miss all the wonderful people I met in TSO.
