If this game does get saved, besides putting up a TonyV statue in AP33 (which of course will be built into every server's permanent AP instances), I think we should have that statue in a pose perusing Massively.com on a laptop. :P

And I agree about a TonyV statue, but I think he should be holding a torch instead.
