A god among men, thanks for keeping this up
-
I have pinned this thread and unpinned/locked the previous one as requested.
-
pop this into a google doc then you wont have the character cap! or if we have a wiki we can use (wiki.fracturedmmo.com) then we could bypass the character cap also.
-
@vengu nice job but I quote the idea to create a doc/pdf maybe with more than one user access so someone else could help you with this.
-
Don't worry, I have enough reserveds now to last a long time.
-
Thank you for this. Very helpful

#gamegod
