Yes, they need to be respect as we are players like normal people who do everyday. Like I said in my blog about summer 2011 party time, there are explaining about the Rules and other stuff. Hope it will spread for all of us. :)Diana Wildhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111942921432583978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463786734782517150.post-53013220243134501112011-06-26T13:54:56.458-04:002011-06-26T13:54:56.458-04:00This is fantastic!

You have inspired me to write something a blog entry on my page at Diary of a Wizard ConnectX and will try to provide a link back to this blog entry of yours. Hope the link back is okay.Icy Wizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701031655749044959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463786734782517150.post-27928446067794070432011-06-26T11:27:07.445-04:002011-06-26T11:27:07.445-04:00I was spammed with whispers and "add me plz&q...I was spammed with whispers and "add me plz" requests.

The price of r...Thank you for this post, Autumn! <br /><br />The price of recognition expands almost exponentially. Not only are the requests to add or pleas for help or whisper spams coming linearly, but for every day passing, there's at least one more person who's joined the audience. <br /><br />It's euphoric to know how many people have been helped or inspired, but the fame/recognition aspect comes *after* word-of-mouth has spread. People aren't born into being known, unless their predecessors were famous to begin with. So, with a game and audience so young as Wizard101, the "fame" part becomes more of an inevitable accident, not a goal that should be thought of as attainable or favorable. <br /><br />Sometimes I wonder if it's easy to mistake "trusted," "credible," or "reliable" with "famous." For Friendly, that was what captured my interests... The fact that thousands look up to him or follow him didn't influence or motivate me to do the same. There's one site that's run by someone "well-known," but their lack of spirit, character, and genuity turned me off from it. Tom became my very first and (at the time) only resource for Wizard101 information. And, it's just a coincidence (maybe...I think he deserves more credit than that!) that many others happen to feel the same way, too. And thus, with the "popular" and recurring trend, he's inevitably become that shining star that some people mistakenly call "famous."<br /><br />This post has inspired and triggered a need to clarify on what Perfect Catch is about, considering how heavily we've become bombarded with the same reception. <br /><br />Thanks for boldly exploring and pointing all this out! It's an honor to hear your thoughts~Kevin BattleBloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04804109661996325733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463786734782517150.post-65250688322662250352011-06-26T00:24:15.461-04:002011-06-26T00:24:15.461-04:00P.I.T.A. = Pain In The Aorta ;)P.I.T.A. = Pain In The Aorta ;)taliesinharpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754598708309769186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463786734782517150.post-9706695945163720302011-06-26T00:04:00.665-04:002011-06-26T00:04:00.665-04:00I understand you completely since, I too am a *rec...I understand you completely since, I too am a *recluse*. I hate going to big parties or events because of this. Also, I have noticed the effects of the *leeching* on other famous people. I have really noticed this since I joined Diary of a Wizard, and they have mentioned me on twitter, I now have gotten at least 20 people following me in the last week. <br /><br />I hope all of us can remember what you said, that we are all *just* wizards. <br /><br />P.s. I love the P.I.T.A. thing, heheAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14098639673012886843noreply@blogger.com
