I still can't believe it's closing! :O

I mean, I just assumed it would always be there. I honestly have no words right now. 

I... 

Even though Pixie Hollow will eventually close down, please remember that we still have a month left. A month is a lot of time; enough time to say goodbye to your friends and perhaps find some way to contact each other after this game has ended. 

I say this on the behalf of many: Of course, we are all going to miss Pixie Hollow. True, there will be other virtual worlds but none will be quite as magical as PH was. Even though it is soon disappearing, PH will always hold a spot in our hearts :)

Don't ever forget that. 

Even if the game itself is gone, we will always hold our memories. 
(Quick suggestion: Take TONS of pictures before it ends so that you will always have the fond moments of your PH life :D )

Fly With You,

Minerva
