hahahaha good one, can i use this in future rants? that get off the cross
comment
would seem to apply to the first guy too, who thinks we owe him respect for
some unknown reason.

they're about 250 on veeshan too. only thing i can figure out is that those
damn enchanters are fixing prices, heh. ahh more power to them.

hmm now there's a thought. i can do the troll enchanter part, but i'm not sure
how to get his int up to 500 heh. better go twink some more.

well to be honest there is a little bit of this going on. i.e. when was
the last time
a non caster got a kill on hadden for the fishbone earring heh. and stop
