A-Bomb to my internet as well, Boonies-net Suuuuuuucccks
Da-bomb for grinding mobs in ToS, so relaxing after a hard day and you don't want to think about much, plus the *POW!* sound they make puts a big, dumb grin on my face.

Question of the Week: How could any former Pokemon Master not be interested in this game? Tab targeting will be a godsend when your up till 4 am leveling your 234th dragon; got to have them in every color after all. The real worry for me with with the cash shop. I'll rage if those "items" for the higher quality pets end up in the cash shop in a lockbox.

Strong arm players in to paying ftw 7 years ago

Zach's idea was the same idea that is currently killing Rift, i don't care what trions is saying about there game less ppl have been playing since putting things like LFG and BG Specific ques behind there patron to promote there patron, you know its that type of strong arming that makes me stop supporting that game, b2p was good model but now all these ppl have this entitled feel of "Oh well its going f2p anyway" yeah games do but b2p is much better then p2p anyday even if they have DLC
