A few of you have signed up for Legend of the Green Dragon, but nobody has even made it off the Isle of Wen yet. What gives? How am I supposed to rack up affiliate points if you guys don’t slay a dragon or two?
I’m level 10 and I’ve joined a clan, and I think I’ve been pk’ed about 10 times. Dang distractions while I’m playing the game make my session time-out, and if you don’t stay in an inn when you’re logged out, you’re fair game for PvP death.
