Ah, good old times before the reset. It's quite convenient to have a server reset, since the old staff "forced" all staff member to be mean :<. It must suck to be "forced" to be mean and make threats towards people, life isn't easy when you are "forced" into a life style which you normally wouldn't represent D:
I never left EU before, that's why I never had one. I had to express mine when I ordered it, since I didn't wanna wait 6 weeks and I let it drag for too long before I actually bothered to order it QQ. But the good thing is I only had to pay 90 instead of 60 bucks, so it wasn't really a big deal. Some express passport prices are outlandish.
