[Ildirettore]

A god among men, thanks for keeping this up

[Specter]

I have pinned this thread and unpinned/locked the previous one as requested.

[Jetah]

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.

[Finland]

@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.

[Vengu]

Don't worry, I have enough reserveds now to last a long time.
