I don't really know exactly where to put this, so I'll be putting this here.
Dev- and the rest of the community, for that matter- honestly, from the depths of my heart, thank you.
I don't think enough people sing their praise about this, but Sigrogana Legend 2 has helped me in so many ways. It's helped with my clinical depression and social ineptitude by having a supportive community by my side, with anyone willing to quip in and help. It's helped me practice characters I had previously thought impossible in concept, and it's helped me get a general idea of world-building and creating histories for fictional worlds. It's inspired me to write more than I usually do. It's inspired me to draw more interesting things and more abstract ideas. It helped build me up when I was at my lowest points in life. It's given me relationships, it's given me friends, it's given me everything that I never dreamed of having before.
I genuinely first played this game seriously with a group of friends from another RP-based BYOND game- Dragon Universe- as a playby-less pyromaniac Phenex Evoker/Grand Summoner by the name of Garrison, very early on after the Great Reckoning. I loved roleplay, and I always loved Dungeons and Dragons, but Sigrogana Legend 2 absolutely blew me out of the water. I've always been a fan of Fire Emblem, and this was my perfect combat system. But, the role played experience was infinitely better and much more open-ended and lovable. Why care for stats when you can establish friendships that would seem completely unlikely? The times that I had playing early on made me love Sigrogana Legend 2 more and more, and when I figured out that there was a whole community giving suggestions for the game, I was rendered speechless.
Characters I thought were difficult to make were rather trivial once it came down to diversity in Sigrogana Legend 2, and learning every bit of new information about lore and races and classes on my own was awe-inspiring. I quite simply just fell in love with the entire game. People say the game is certainly an addiction, and for some people, I guess that's true. But for me, Sigrogana Legend 2 became a hub of activity and excitement that I lacked normally, filling an empty void in me. It became a source of inspiration and strength, of creativity and passion. Through my darkest days, I was guided by the friends I'd never have. I was guided by my own ambition instead of following and moving through the motions and copying the herd; I made myself completely unique, and found my own place to stay in the community.
For this, Dev, I have to thank you from the deepest reaches of my heart for creating something that has positively impacted my life so much.
And for the community, I have to thank all of you for helping me through my bouts of depression and helping me correct my destructive behaviors, molding me into a better person.
I'm nowhere near monetarily stable enough (yet) to donate in order to show my support, but as soon as I'm available, I will be offering constantly. But until then, I think this long and sappy expression of my feelings will be enough.
TL;DR: Too poor to support, but this is a big, fat and cheesy thanks to everyone for helping me with depression and circumstancial demons, and to Dev for creating SL2.
