I know how you feel. I was hacked once three years ago, but I had managed to bounce back. However, back in July of 2018, I was hacked again. Literally EVERYTHING was gone. Not traded away, mind you, but RECYCLED. I had 300,000 gems and no diamonds. All I had to show for my FIVE YEARS of work was a couple achievements and my dens. On AJPW, they had recycled my items, spent all 1,300 of my sapphires, but had left my dens, music, and animals. I couldn't think about playing the game without tears welling up in my eyes. I straight up quit, and in many ways, that was a blessing in disguise. In my time playing both AJPC and AJPW, so many hobbies and other things had fallen through the cracks. But now, with this abundance of time I now had, I could put my life back on my shelves and not on my devices. I eventually made the decision to return to AJPW four months ago, for the sake of playing and roleplaying online with my good friends (and as it was less brutal in trying to gain items and stuff as AJPC was).

I will give you one piece of advice. If this game means a lot to you and it still does, don't give up on it. Others may push you down, shove you aside, and slap you across your face. And as for that, don't turn your other cheek. Take some time away to grow a new you, a stronger you, and let them try shove that.

Some people will always be mean, but you don't have to.

(i am so sorry for this insanely long paragraph, i hope my story will at least help or warn someone c: )
