This is in no way a flame. Just thought u should know how life is in the game (reply)
OH MY GOD. Take a deep breath omar. Deeeeep breath. HOW CAN U DO THAT? HOW? I was an honest nice player, that worked for 128 hours to get the yalmaha. I bought it! I contacted an ARK RIGHT after it happened! A heated anger is rising in me. I am a nice person. I did everything I possibly could have when it happened. I'm going to speak in plain english as if u were standing next to me. Nevermind. I shouldn't swear. What can I do now? If this was RL, I would get a lawyer. There are three roads I can take. The first is to leave the game and condemn it in the sites I'm a part of. The second, is to keep on playing, and swear and cuss at this cold hearted injustice that has happened to me, and other players I have found out. The third, is to keep on contacting u guyz until I get my yalmaha back, or am absolutely certain that u guyz are Heartless bastards. When I know that u guys are heartless bastards, then I will put as much detail of it in the forums as I can. The thing is, I am not threatening u right now. This is just what I am thinking. U have stole my life. STOLE IT. I'm going to cool down right now. Wish me luck.
(if u wanna read my situation with the >>>>, go to the bug forum with the heading "losing my yalm" or something like that)
(update: no way to get yalm back. after week GM couldn't see it in log. still playing...)
