[Ansteorra] maybe an answer to recruitment problems

[Ld.blackmoon]

greetings

yea i had an older copy, but i kept loaning it to newbies, and one day it 
just never came back, so i hope who ever wound up with it is still enjoying 
it : /

not sure the kwh will ever be available online, they just updated it, and 
began selling them recently.

Be Safe , Be Happy, Have Fun .
