Is this gonna have GCD also, because it is impossible for a bear to win when all a mage has to do is spam milk mustache!

Pvp milking is going to be so overpowered for elves and unbalanced since elves are the only ones with opposable thumbs...

I am guessing the Frequent/Intense Cartoon or Animal Violence is referring to a bear milking a cow :)

Very nice Announcement, especially on this day.

Just out of curiosity, did a few of you used to work for a certain giant of mmos that shall remain nameless? I few of the dev names look very familiar from my PS days. I really dig PL, and I hope all of your games do just as well.
