<tomdnl> at this time we are trying to optimize our web services,
<tomdnl> a better forum allowing guild master to have a better control of their guild's forum
<tomdnl> and many tools that youll soon discover, but we are very conscient of the power of the history into DnL
<tomdnl> a unique world allows to create its own story...
