Ok fixed it, that blue was BAD lol.

Thank you to my buddy Sinfullysweet who prepared that list in Beta.

Great job, thank you Skjoldur! I fixed the colors in the original post for you, and also put in more descriptive titles.

Thread is now stickied!

LOL that was all Sinfullysweet, she did most of that during Beta. I miss her. She was good peeps. Damn shame she got hacked and never came back.

[Remissus]

JUST now noticed that my newbie pack for guardian players made the post. XD Good thing I have the ability to start doing that again.

[Viscol]

Might it be possible to have www.faeblightinn.com included in the listings? It's a brand spanking new Faeblight specific roleplay and networking forum.
