We got a quick question for Verdant, based on the numerous times we've watched friends play Everquest: Why does the Software Agreement pop up *every* time a person starts the game?

Note to WCW: A wrestling show that's 90% wrestling, with just enough back-stage crap to establish angles? You know, it's just so wacky an idea, it just *might* work.
