-applause-
Every word I've screamed at the screen just about...Thank you.
I for one feel if they make this game one bit easier - it's time to petition
for a re-nerfing of the classes...Leave my enchanter alone, he's fixed quite
fine thank you.

>They're the ones that pay off in the end.

>5. Where are the new zones and other planes? The game was not designed
