We all lost 10 days.
Your 10 days are no longer than mine.
(I play about 12 hours a day, sometimes longer. Imagine what
you could have playing that much. And now my Seeker is back
to lvl 110 with not even skills to fight with.)
The worst is that I lost marriage status with my beloved wife.
I hope she will marry me again.
Just vote every 6 hours, get 15 gold per session, and buy some stuff.
You have 5 days.
And farm/grind, in EPW it is much better than in PWI.
Yes, EC are still slow to get, but it was always like that.
Relax and enjoy the play, you made it once, you'll make it again.
