So yeah I broke the gallery

Maybe I’ll just sign up to Facebook? Is it just a small step from that to MySpace though… that’s the worry.

These things are all about social interaction, right? Living another life inside the game with all your buddies helping each other out, PvP battles, joining guilds, ascending through the ranks, all whilst having a jolly good laugh with your mates.
