lol :) I keep seeing great bargains, but I have 0 currants (as well as it being pointless to buy anything anyway). Spent every last one of them before beta ended. Wanted to go out with nothing instead of waiting to have it taken away.
That's how I noticed my auction item had been purchased. I had spent myself down to nearly zero, and then as I was reading the forums, I noticed that I had currants again!
During the last day I actually got a little bummed every time I got an achievement or badge. Once you know the end is nigh, it's no longer as exciting to have more... lol
I am looking forward to seeing how fast I can get back up though!
