    Vorm's distribution definitely nowhere near as good as De Vries' was. Looks a decent keeper though.

        just logged on, am I going mad or do we now have free transfers till GW2, and will the points from GW1 all be zeroed out? ie those that did well will lose their points and we are basically all starting over again? if so the prices rises would be based on GW2 results not GW1? sorry??...
