My clan mates and even many US players in nation chat really helped me out. I got a set of gold mods, a pile of cash, and even a bunch of BP's.
Big thank you's to Coraline Vodka, Obiheed, Floating Captain, Tyradael, St101 and I think I missed some others as well.
I have to say (contrary to the forums at times) this game has one of the best communities I've ever seen.
