    They say there's no such place... as Paradise. Even if you search to the ends of the Earth, there's nothing there. No matter how far you walk, it's always the same road. It just goes on and on. But, in spite of that... Why am I so driven to find it? A voice calls to me... It says, "Search for Paradise."

    Down for maintenance for two consecutive days and very inconveniently timed with my available play hours. Maybe cryptic should have a rule that maintenance should only be atleast once a week instead of everyday. Because it is very dissapointing for us players. Just saying

    And now we cant log in after maintenance lol this is frustrating. They should compensate for this with currency
