Location, location, location! Sometimes the universal reset of Atlas Rises v1.3 does something positive for a player. In this case one can only imagine player BotFodder2 logging in on August […]
After visiting several Legacy Hub sites I continue to think that nothing will surprise me, yet every site has at least one strange feature. Sunaru2’s farm (aka Binoscope’s Pad) has […]
