You Have Failed MeFebruary 18, 2009 - TF AnnouncerIt saddens me that despite my best efforts to instruct and better you, some of you insist on finding new ways to fail.We have sounded the alert and released a quick fix for an exploit that some unscrupulous players were using to wield items on invalid classes. I have considered an appropriate punishment for the good-for-nothings responsible for this horrendous breach of conduct. Death, of course - but death is too good for disappointments such as these. Instead, their unlockable items have been removed for a month.To the majority of you who did not see fit to cheat, you have my congratulations: I await the countless other ways you will inevitably disappoint me in the future.Yours,The Administrator
