Mounts are 20, flight at 60... this is insane. Pure insanity. There's no other way to describe it. All those months, years of grinding and leveling, farming gold, silver, copper... rendered meaningless. Everything I know about life now... soon to be gone. Just with this simple announcement.

So yesterday, resolved to my fate, I spent the day with the wife and kids, trying to keep up a strong appearance but knowing inside everything I held dear was coming crashing to a halt. Last night, as I kissed them all goodnight I silently wept at the losses I was about to suffer for this injustice. Eventually nature asserted itself and I drifted off to my final sleep as a whole being, as a man of pride and honor.

I awoke early but was afraid to open my eyes and face the desolation that my world had most assuredly become. But then... I felt a movement. Daring myself to peek at the horror that awaited me (dear God... mounts at 20...), instead... I see my daughter in bed next to me! Next to her, my wife was still here as well! I gasped in stunned disbelief as I noticed a brightening outside the window... the sun! It was indeed rising yet again! The sun... my son... wait, he wasn't here! Fearing the worst, I burst into his room, and there he lay, still sleeping, still here... all was well!

Could it be... could it be true?! Is it possible that people getting mounts sooner and easier than me really won't affect my life or... wait! The game!

It seemed an eternity as the computer booted up and the game loaded. Finally, the character screen... they're all there! Can it be? Yes! Nothing is changed! No missing gold, mounts, honor... all of it still the same!

Can it be true? Can people have things a little easier than I did and my world not end? I dare now allow myself a glimmer of hope...

TL;DR: In no way, shape or form does allowing people to have an easier path to things today diminish or negate what you have already accomplished. You have nothing to cry about.

I knew it was missing something. With that "improvement" I give it a perfect 10.

Haha, well done OP. I think it would almost be funnier if you took out the TL;DR.

You show me someone that never woke up to find one of their kids in bed with them and I'll show you someone without kids.

Pics or it didn't happen.

The sun didn't come up this morning where I live, a volcano erupted in my living room, and my dog just moved in with my cat.

The world is, in fact, ending.

I have a daughter that can't walk yet.

Does that count?

I actually thought about that but figured it would make things a bit wordy... all I can say is this... when she does start to walk, don't sleep nekked.
