NATIONWIDE SHORTAGE OF BEER EFFECTS ROK COMMUNITY

by Rip

According to the National Council of Alcoholic Beverages, the United States is suffering from a drastic shortage of beer. The national stockpile of the energizing golden liquid has fallen over 40% in the past month.

The effects of the beer shortage has had a profound effect on the ROK Community. Zeffer, a ROK player for 4 years, discussed his suffering from beer withdrawal with ROK.NET.

"I can't go on!" says Zeffer. "Every day, when I wake up at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I always have at least 3 cans of beer while I wait for ROK to connect to the server. Without that life-giving fuel, I just can't function enough to... oh, no, my god, NOOO!" (Zeffer collapsed in a twitching heap on the floor).

Who knows how many other countless ROK players will be effected by this horrific shortage of lager?
