Three months.
So in 3 months time nobody will care, the loot will be outdated and those "server firsts" will only be remembered by the people who shut their lives down for a week and maybe Daldean
Feels good that characters I made in 2010 are still playable in 2017 and wont be movelogged when the train wreck reaches its final destination [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
