What the fuck is up with that? Thats what they are wasting their time with!? Rolling Eyes

I honestly don't believe anyone would be stupid enough to try to enter 300 characters into the ip field. OF COURSE IT'S GONNA FUCKING CRASH!!! I swear to god I'm surrounded by idiots. Please kill the jackasses at EA, if for no better reason than to improve the global average IQ. *rant off*
