The 5 Stages of Sky

I was an old player that went through all the stages—the death stage, too, yes—and I came back after such a long time to be in the grind/chill stage again. You can come back. You can take a break, you can miss out on things, because it’ll all be exciting when you come back. It’ll give you purpose. It’s okay if you lose past friends online—you’ll meet new ones. Let go of the game when it’s not fun. You can always come back.

ah, the sweet bliss of being a moth. nothing to worry about, all you know was the realm cosmetics, seasonal spirits are something you haven't discover yet. all you do is explore, find new areas to play around in, get amazed by new pretty places that you stumble upon accidentally, and tryng to play the harp for the first time. oh to seek that feeling once again.

I'm in a phase that I'll call "Void" It's basically the grinding phase but you don't grind, and the only thing you can do is wait for your friends to come online, if they do at all.

I am the in between grinding phase and the chilling phase- even if I completed all constellations, I still find myself to keep candle running HDJDH

I came for the funnies, but damn “when you realize maybe you aren’t a moth anymore” got me so emotional
I played since enchantment so when the first enchantment ts came, I was like wait has it really been that long 🥺

It's so sad idk why??
Each stages is like growing older and older untill you're an elder person in real life, and eventually.. death

Man I feel it

I've been playing for over a year now since enchantment and have only finished one constellation. If you want to slow your inevitable death stage, don't rush into getting everything. Though it's also inevitable to accumulate a lot of candles these days since candle running is easier, so do whatever with your spendings. If you don't spend too much time on finishing all the constellations, you can later spend your candles when you have the leisure to. (Except for wing buffs, get those nodes unlocked as soon as you can!)

Another tip I can give is have a budget for your candles. At minimum 130-200 candles for friend cost, Traveling Spirit cost, seasonal events, and such. This way you'll find yourself in the thrill and panic in candle running to always recollect your stuff, but also prepared for high spending.

If you can't candle run a lot and want to be comfortable, try 350-400 candles at max. This way it's easier to recover even from spending too much and also still keep you semi active with your candle runs.
Personally I just.... Don't see the thrill having so much candles where you can have everything and yet there's nothing left for you to use it.

Also remember that you can come back to Sky. That’s what I did. I left it around the middle of the season of Enchantment, but redownloaded it a few days ago. It’s so fun to come back to so many new areas and spirits, and collecting all the emotes again is awesome! So remember you can come back. Take a break for a few months or a year and you’ll come back so many new things!

[shyskychild]

I guess I'm in the chill phase. The only way I'll probably reach the death phase is if one day Sky shuts down, or the developers stop coming up with updates and events...
Or if I break my phone and miss out on whatever future events that may show up. 👀
Sky is like temporary relief and escape to me so I'll play as much as I can whenever I have the time to.

joke on you, when I was a moth I haven't been traumatized by krills, but when I got stuck in the water, because of angry crabs yeeting my wings away

[G_.]

I’m in the “can’t decide” phase











Where I keep spending candles on stupid things and can’t save for the things I actually want/ incredibly impatient

[Admistlanterns]

this is sad but it doesn't have to end this way :D!
5 stages of sky 2.0 are:
Candle run
Fake candle run
Cry over 2+ player doors
and then you...
*sobs*

T-this is so sad and so relatable😭
When you start seeing old TS return and close friends leaving the game, it really hits hard. Soon you struggle to log in every day because you're just so busy with real life. Then you log in for the last time and you didn't even know.

Its been almost 6 months since I took a break from Sky to focus on my studies and I don't know if i'll ever return.(T^T)

[DUMRATBOY]

I’m in denial about the fact that I’m in the death phase, I keep telling myself I’ll start playing again once the next season starts

If anyone is curious, the song they're playing at 1:35 is "A Born Coward" :)

I started playing sky a month after its offical release, and damn it's surprising how you got all the phases right. Right now I'm kind of at the death phase, but I still check on the game. Sometimes I see friends I haven't seen for a while and I truly enjoy the game at these moments. Sometimes I even do candle runs and seasonal quests. But sky holds a different place in my heart. When I first started playing I had like no friends at school and meeting so many nice people in sky really made my day back then. Seeing them still does to this day :)
