I Missed the 7 Year Anniversary Dev Meet & Greet

When the Meet and Greet was announced I was quite excited as it was taking place on Union so I didn't have to mess around setting up Test Server access. I was looking forward to meeting the devs and had a few questions for them.

Unfortunately the day darkened for me. It turned out it was to be my dog, Bonnie's last day. She was 16 years old. Her health had been deteriorating for months. Her liver was failing, her front legs were severely arthritic and her back legs had atrophied to the point where she could no longer walk. Watching her try to move was torture for us, knowing that she was in severe pain.

We spent the day giving her as much love as we could, to make sure her last day was a happy one. We said our goodbyes before taking her to the vet for the final time. She was smiling as she slipped away. I will miss her deeply.

The 7 Year celebrations seem trivial now in light of my grief. But I had hoped to enjoy a tiny ray of light on this dark day. By the time I logged into the game at 7:30pm BST, Pocket D was full.

I missed the party, but I miss my dog far more.

I lost my dog 2 years ago, i feel your sadness, but i never had the change to say goodbye (car accident).

brought a tear to my eye.

I only missed it because I was torturing myself at the gym.

All I wanted to ask was wether any of the devs had heard my CoX inspired orchestrations, and if so, did they enjoy them.

I didn't manage to make it along, but if I had I'd have asked them all who was coming to the player meet
