Being able to easily chat with other bards and tradeskillers from other servers... since server wide channels are 3 months down..
I stopped buying EoK AA a few months back, instead entirely completing lines I had already started. I actually bought 2 ranks of dragon glyph on tuesday because I had nothing left to buy except EoK AA. I logged in to over 2000 AA on my main and over 5000 on both of my boxes. Yay.
