I i stated this same speech in a contest but i wanted to say it again because its a very personal story and I want people to see it.

My Fondest memory of yoville is The day I started playing it. I was Homeless at the time and in my junior year of high school I would always stay late after school inside of the drama department "dressing room" which no one ever used im i'm almost certain no one new it existed . I would sneak in there after school to finish homework on the laptops they gave us. I never took it back with me to the shelter because it would have been stolen. So towards the end of the year when the teachers didn't assign much work I would just hang out in the drama department dressing room playing around on Facebook when a friend of mine sent me a request for this very game. Right then right there my life changed forever, what I lacked in the real world I now had in the virtual world, I remember getting teary eyed not exactly crying but that painful feeling you get in your throat and eyes when your upset like you've tried to swallow something to big and smoke has been blown in your eyes.I'm notsure why I did this, I just know that its what i did. On YO was the first time i was ever able to talk about my situation to someone. I was comfortable talking to this stranger vs someone in my real like because they couldn't see me/ didn't know me. I've always hated sympathy but i found reading it was much easier to take than hearing it. I eventually learned all the trix of the trade so to speak and was able to save items and sell them for a profit later and I learned how to predict if an item will be worth alot of money later on in game.I was able to apply that skill set to real life and make money via selling on Ebay consignment shops and yardsales in real life. thus insuring that I never became homeless again and that is my fondest memory of yoville.

Wow.. that's moving to say the least. I'm so glad this game could help you like you did! It's a miracle

I think YoWorld is an outlet to almost all of the players. It's a place of safety for some, happiness for others. It's a great community!

Aww nice
