I've never been much of a salesmen, even when I sold knives and luggage for a time in my life. Mostly I just inform people about what a product can/can't do and let them decide and leave salesmenship to others that enjoy that style of interaction. The blunt response to your ask is that we have a great game and that it's fun to play.

If you'd like to continue this line of inquiry, you should make a new thread and let people respond there so we don't derail this one further.

A few COVID tips that helped me (I was afllicted with Heart and Lung damage for 3+ months after recovering).

When you're feeling... behind on oxygen? Take a breath, purse your lips tightly together, then press the air out slowly but forcefully. I don't know if it presses oxygen into the walls of the lungs or whatever, but it would get my blood oxygen back up and allow me to "catch up".



Occasionally raise your arms up to the ceiling like you're reaching up to change a lightbulb. Breathe in deeply and do the pursed lip thing. There's something about the body position that opens up the lungs?



When you beat it, don't be afraid to really go slow. The heart thing I had was literally a "Just don't go too hard and it'll recover on its own.", so I went at my own pace and thankfully recovered in time.

Thank you to the folks that have shared experiences about COVID as it's a burden that we all deal with as a community.

The topic threatened to overtake this thread, so some posts have been hidden to refocus on the OP's main topic of LWM and how she's doing. Let's please keep to the main topic from this point on.

I was a CC at the time and can corroborate this. There were some CCs that were extremely upset not just by the situation but by players that were going really hard on folks that decided to continue being CCs. It was rather nasty for a time.

I have spent a lot of time cleaning up the forums so people can have constructive conversations about whatever. I personally think we're in a really good place right now.

When I first started the game I was told not to go the forums because of what you said above, so when I became a CM I set out to fix that.

To give context, my assessment was on how few Personal Attacks and Insults there are these days. It used to be pretty rampant that folks would just rip into each other for sport. While that's for some, it's against the rules.

I'm not sure what you mean by "personalise forum guidelines" as our rules are posted here: https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/132269-forum-guidelines-community-code-of-conduct/. These are used company-wide across all our forums and platforms.
