[Hellsgate] Thoughts on Demo

Thu Jul 12 14:46:40 PDT 2012

Stephan, you should not withdraw the suggestion. It is a valid suggestion, 
just not good timing for this go around. But there will be more HOT Fairs in 
the future. It is a good and valid idea.   I for one could not locate the 
Shadowlands event in the Black Star, but it is not a good idea to conflict 
with others events.  The future is flexible, so please keep brining it up 
and keep it fresh in our minds.

YIS Lord Eric
