I sense a hornet's nest in here....:]
*pokes*
Anyway, its the person's money. Let them do with it as they wish. Its just like buying an account
If a person wants to spend the $40 for full Gold then let them. Its not going to hurt you in anyway unless you happen to have some grudge against GO, which is not something I can quite grasp why (see also: anti-graal group).
On a side note, proteus_xp, for whatever reason, reminds me of Fawful from Mario&Luigi: Superstar Saga. Don't know why, but that's just something I sense :x Perhaps someone has found a way to extract such things from the realm of the imaginary to this world?
*edit*
-=Shameless Plug Alert=-
Perhaps I could find someone to assist me with my playerworld, hmm? Especially in the area of scripting, yes?
