Roop, you never cease to make me chuckle. Hee hee, maybe the bards on Veeshan
are a mor mature.... oh wait no we just have lots of japanese uber players.
eesh. Why can't we have another server and station it in japan for them. Its
reallya pain when you get online at say, 10:00 AM on your day off and expect to
have a server population of 600-1000 and scroll down to find veeshan has 1800
people on it. Argh!
