About the DeusCity problems, I agree it is sad when you look at the casual Lurkers, but please don’t lop me in with the ones who are being secretive. I am playing both sides, and I know all that is going on between both sides, if you want any help please e-mail me, if you are new, i can help you get into the game, if you cant figure out some of the stuff, I will tell you what I know.
