A Gamer's Good-Bye

Some people just couldn't handle the game of Sword Art Online.

When I bought Sword Art Online, I thought I was buying an escape from the real world, I thought I was leaving the troubles of society, the liars, cheaters, and horrible people, but two years in SAO, and I can't see the difference between this world and the one I left behind.

Yes I know we are close to beating this dumb game, but why would anyone want to go back knowing things are never going to be the same, thousands of people have died and for what, a possibility that everything will go back to normal, but it won't, it can't.

I have no one to go back to, all my friends are dead, my girlfriend has probably moved on, my family will never treat me the same, so I see no reason in leaving, and I don't plan to.

I write this memo so that people will read this in the game and tell my family in real life why I had to do what I am doing. Please if you read this, contact my family once this game is over and tell them this.

I hear the edge of the sky dungeon has a beautiful sunset.
