Gold... expensive.

Food... expensive.

Raw food... expensive.

Houses... expensive.

Employees... expensive.

Fighting... expensive.

Training... the same... or is it?

I've been waiting patiently for a long time to see the discounted training center upgrades and, either I've randomly missed training center upgrade discount day, or its been taken away.

Here I am with a huge gold wad in my pants that I want to spend; unfortunately, I can't get a discount so I can spend it to upgrade my training.

I'm really feeling like coming in and only double working and single training is like making small talk with the employee with whom I already hated talking that recently had a testicle removed. We both know I'm only talking to them because I sort of feel sorry for them, and don't want to feel like a jerk because we've been coworkers (yes, I consider the 3 minutes I have to log in daily as work) for 8 something years.

We know erep has been feeling less like a man each day that passes. Do I play it because I feel sorry for it? Maybe I don't want to face my friends who asked me "why do you subject yourself to the self-degredation of this emasculated game; play Candy Crush instead." Maybe I'm afraid to tell my wife I've spent real money buying fake gold to buy fake buildings in a fake city on a fake game.

Now, in the past, I'm discovered one way or another that a person I was talking to online wasn't who they said they were. Maybe she sent some pics that you reverse imaged to some girl on the other side of the planet. Maybe the names are different than the one she offered you. Maybe she sends you a little peek. Whatever. But in your heart of hearts, you know they aren't really who they said they are, that the attention you get is just preparing you for even greater distraught. Greater heartache when it is finally over... when the truth is out there and you swallow your bruised pride thinking things were different, that things you were hearing were true.

Here I stand with this big wad in my pocket, something that I've always dreamt of, something that would have made me feel at the top of the eWorld 7 or 8 years ago, and I have nothing to spend it on. Nothing that would make me happy, even if it were my last training camp upgrade.
