At the risk of sounding like my grandparents, "we had to walk to school up
hill in kneedeep snow both ways!". I remember back a few weeks after the
game went commercial, my druid and her ranger buddy spent 2 weeks in Paw and
at the undead camp in WK, trying to get enough cash together to buy him 2
combine scimitars, his first magic weapons. He now has an assortment of
weapons (EB, silvery axe, morin, etc).

Theres something to be said for playing on a server that hasnt matured yet.
You dont see much twinking for one thing.. and everyone is pretty much in
the same boat you are.

On topic: finally got my Pixie Strike last night! Woohoo! I'm beginning to
feel like a real bard ;-P
