How hard would it have been to send a mass email excluding those areas, guess they haven't figured out the basics of Outlook yet.

Hah dude hates the Panthers. He had to wear the beautiful avatar due to losing a bet regarding online Madden leagues :)

No one hates bandwagon Panther fans (or 49er fans using the Panthers online ;)) more than I. Trust me, he hates the Panthers.
 
The one I got is a bit different.

I got this notice too.

And my performance has improved so much, that Wolf ET is no longer playable. I don't know what they've done, but I've been suffering horrible ping spikes since the middle of August.

Thanks for the "boost", Cox.

Just out of curiousity, how much is that Premier package? That's basically what I'm on now, so I'm wondering what the price difference is.
