-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 btw, if you're considering changing your account from premium to basic, be sure to pay any money you own to LL and then downgrade your account thru the site, do not just stop paying, if you stop paying them while still being a premium they will wipe out all your account's data, inventory L$ balance etc (i've seen some people that had the misconception that to downgrade all you had to do was stop sending money to LL, the ones that didn't got set straight in time lost everything)
