Exactly all things eventually fade. It's an analogy to life. I don't know why but I feel that I'm going to die and know one will ever know what I did. When I started out on the game there weren't many players, I was hoping maybe I could someday be a top player. I didn't work at a very fast pace but I did make it to Master Hokage, I thought I was a top dog. I did the poll and it turns out that no one knew who I was, I worked so long and got nothing. It would have made me feel better if I had at least been well known on a part of the internet but I was ignorant of the peoples' views te whole time. Like you said all things fade, but what if SL went on for many more years, players would remember the name Ryushi and hold him as a hero and that's all I ever wanted. In life, I'll die at sometime no matter how much I try to fool myself, my memories will be gone forever and unless I ever do something to or for the world I'll be forgotten in time. the world will go on for millions, maybe billions, of years and I want people to remember the nameClay, but it's unlikely that anyone will ewver remember me, making my life useless. The game just did more for me than use my spare time.
