    Woot! Some of the those awards might just be achievable now. I'd never have gotten any at my current rate of play.

    They can add all the extra awwards they want to, doesn't make any difference.

    Unlocks is what they said they couldn't add.

    My Ground Defense

    03:17:48 of 15h. Earning 11:42:12 should take you about 621 days.

    03:17:48 of 60h. Earning 56:42:12 should take you about 3,008 days.

    Ive more or less written it off as unachievable

    Wondering if this 'update' (server-side) has anything to do with why the hell I couldn't get hold of my unlocks on some cities-only server last night, when others visibly could grab theirs? :confused:

    Good to see some posting in this Forum again, I thought everybody was now off playing Oblivion, after the last few nights trying Fairy's 82.195 inf-only and finding no-one there... :(
