Initially resignation, along with sadness. But after I got over the initial shock and realised that enough of us wanted to save the game, I decided to fight.

My first reaction was, "Whatever, more time for SL. Zynga finally learned how to drive a nail in its' own coffin." But when I read how they wanted to take my YC (I paid REAL MONEY for) and move it to one of their games I don't play or even like, and not want to just reimburse me, I got pissed and joined the groups that were forming to protest. I would put my protest messages on my FB. I deleted every Zynga game. I was relieved when I heard that BVG wanted to buy Yo and had no doubt that they would purchase it. Here are some of my FB protest pics I did at that time.

I felt a mix of anger and sadness.
Over a year long before the announcement I hadn't been able to really play,as my inventory wouldn't open at all,aka I couldn't change my avatar's appearance, decorate,trade with others,etc.
And I had always hoped Zynga would fix it one day.

Not a surprise, but bummed because I would never see my hairs, dogs or kiss on the cheek or favorite valentine chair again.

and then came word of hope that BVG might buy the game, and hence, these gifs came into being

I was a little bummed, but lets face it the former owners of the game were practically flushing it down the toilet.

I was happy and sad. All the time I've spent decorating, all the memories from events and making friends. It was a wakeup call though for a lot of us who were and still are addicted to yo. I actually did things while it was "down"xD

I don't remember when I seen the notification, as I didn't really log in to Yo that much anymore. My gf said that it was closing on March 31 (which is my Bday) and I said, "now that's an awesome bday present."

I really didn't have any feelings because I already stopped playing, but I def felt a little sympathy for those who love the game. I know a lot of people who use YO for their socializing, and definitely didn't take the news well.

To be honest I was not surprised, but I was sad. I was looking around for another similar game and there was not anything I liked. I don't gamble or play farm games and I don't like my news feed spammed with send this and send that every 5 minutes. Really happy that BVG saved it.
