Was that the time when Classic was reset completely?
That's when I quit classic and started playing 2k1
There was no F-ing way in the world I was about to start all over on classic.. I had the items and money ever since I started playing on classic, even when I left for 6-8 months and came back my stuff was still there.
Then all the sudden *boom* all gone.. "oh it was for a good reason" hell, there is NO good reason for me to lose everything I worked for. >P
