I'm playing for more than 2 years, longer than Xillix -- and I'm far from getting an own birthday thread. Because I am "only" a player?
4 years and one birthday thread. \o/
(Almost four years... four days away from being here four years, actually O.o )
It's about having friends who are more OOC than IC start the thread for you, people you meet here than connect with more on IMs or IRC.
At least in my, almost always correct, opinion
