I love how awesome IronCon was. Not even mentioning that Vegas is, on its own merits, a heckuva good time, the estate was absurdly nice and the people were awesome. I didn't have enough time in the day, most of the time, to talk to the people I want…
My car got towed for being illegally parked (one of those things where everyone does it and I just happened to get caught..) and I had to shell out $180 for it.
That was $180 I was supposed to spend at IronCon/Vegas! Rawr!

The Dreikathi did bomb Duiran's Ancient Heartwood, which just made it barren and lifeless. However, there was no sludge. The bombing was done around the same time Ashtan and Enorian got hit.
I went without IRE for a few years, before. From 2006-2010 I was clean. If you had asked me this question a few years ago I probably would have just went back to WoW or whatever MMO struck my fancy.
