Huh, so...I wasn't even aware that everyone's bank accounts were frozen? Mind giving me some background information on that?

And huh, is there a particular reason why most people AREN'T Lvl 9, KoL? It seems like, if it only takes a few days to grind up to that level, it's REALLY easy to become Lvl 9.

To my knowledge, an actual timeframe for levelling hasn't been established up until this point.  It's also the deadline, 19th birthday gives a lot of time for grinding to happen, which is usually spaced out.
