I didnt know how much I liked my plant. It died a few hours ago at 9PM PST. I had it at "Perfect Condition" Nov 17 but was "Dead-Boyond any hope" by Nov 24. I am so sad, I really dont want to play anymore. This was something I though of as: "The coolist item I had in the game". I actually got to give it water and nutrients to make it grow andwas so proud of her. "Sweetie" was the first thing you saw entering my small house next to the Tusken Fort was "Sweetie".I actually took screen shots of her andstarted using her for my Christmas cardsformy SWG friends(who play this game and on the sameserver), but not now. I havenever played a game like a MMORGH or whatever these games are called, and months and months ago, I got this cute little Aurilian plantdurring completion ofPhase I of my Jedi quests.I had her near death for almost three weeksuntill I finially found the perfect water and nutrient levels that led her to "Perfect Condition" leading to "Large Aurilian Plant". Well, within 8 days, my plant was dead.
This may have been a little intense, but I tracked every drop of water I put in her, and every atom of nutrients so I could help others from my experence after Sweetie started producing some fruit. I spent every waking hour for that plant care. I went fishing throughout the galaxy to find the bestresources to give her, I went to every bazar to search the best water. If you were to ask one of my friend how intensly I tracked everything, they would tell you what afreak I was about Sweetie. There were several times I didnt go on missions with themjust because my plant looked a little "off-colour". I even started a tracking system w/ graphs showing water/nutrient levels and when they were applied and when the plant took them. Ive had this plant since Phase I.
I am so very sad. I really enjoyed growing her. She was the only presious item I had. I am so very, very, very sad. I havent logged in since this happened. I dont think ill waste my time (or the CSR's) with a tickt, Im sure they dont care or could do anything. I dont think Ill play anymore. Everyday, the first thing I would do was check my plant or just look at her. Now I have nothing. Even all the paintings I have and the "hero-ball" really dont mean anything to me. I just dont care anymore I guess, I havent stopped crying yet.

I'm sorry about your plant, and I'm even more sorry that it made you cry.
Also without being sarcastic you should try a real plant. Even more rewarding when they grow for you.

Did you have your plant in a house that other people visited often? I haven't had a plant but I troll the forums. I have read that the plant updates itself 15mins after someone enters your house. This means that you need to give it nutrients every time it updates and if you couldn't it would have updated to it killed itself. If you could get yourself another one put it in a house that only you have access to. Then only go into the house when you want to check your plant. I hope this helps if you get another one.

When u try to explain an intense in game experence to a non-gamer, they say something like "its only a game". But when u spend alot of time playing a game, what u do in game is part of your life. Relationships u develop with friends in an online role playing game are just that, relationships, and they are as real as relationshipsyoudevelope with people in the "real world".
It's to bad the credits i earn in game arent as real as... wait a min, dont some people sell credits online?

The plant seems like a SWG version of a tamaguchi (don't know how it spells) toy.

I feel for your loss.
Just out of interest can you get a second one?
