Ups returned to work and saw 25 messages in the bards list.. Thought they
REALLY did screw something up.. And then it was my little bad joke that gave
reason to some of these messages ;)
Btw. Ive been playing my bard since april 2 1999. So he must qualify as an
old bard, hehe. Im just a casual player so Im still only 48th level, but Ive
been on this list for a loonnnnggg time. I remember when the guy from verant
and the tester roamed around. Those where the days with lots of good info
and communications bards around norrath, forgotten their names though.
Musiker, bertox
