Well, I never really met many people in game who knew it. I seemed to always run into the people on freedom who never bothered to read the bios.

That said, it was not a pleasant discovery for me.

Have they taken it out? I don't remember seeing it mentioned in-game lately.

Ooooh, are we allowed to say "lemonade"??

"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

That the players of this game are just plain nuts? Though chocolate covered nuts (almonds) would be acceptable.

That quote right there was worth it.

But this is why I'm playing my 50s so much now. You wouldn't believe how many new Trial players I've discovered along the way (thank you, devs, for the /tell response, so I know) and have assisted as a suddenly low-level player. (Getting one of your powers unlocked each time they hit an odd level is fun!)

What better way to spread the word about the game you love than to help a new player learn about it, while at the same time experiencing their wonder and discovery? For example, teamed with one new player, we finally made it to Steel Canyon, only to arrive at the beginning of a Rikti invasion zone event. During the final battle at Positron, his all-caps exclamations had everyone rolling and appreciating the crazy-awesome intensity he was experiencing.

It's a great refresher course for any jaded vet.
