You been spying on me Aranticus?

I usually only post when I'm away, or the game is down. It doesn't help me though, it only makes the NEED worse...LOL :)
Geeze, if and when the game ever shuts down for good, I'll have to get a real life again! Sad, I know.....

I know how you feel. Woke up late last night and found my net down...and was down until like 3 AM or so. Didnt get like 2 hours to mess around only to find out we have a patch being installed at 5 AM CST. Boooo I say! Think I am gonna head over to Risia and do some more tests with my collectable research more. Still have like 4-5 hours left before servers are back....*Sigh* Oh well...

Mainly, i get annoyed, especially when i woke up early to get a couple hours of play time in before work, and had no warning that the realms were gonna be down until i logged on...so, yes, i am trolling the forums bitterly.

just to add that sometimes downtimes are great.... makes the wifey thinks i'm delibrately making the effort to spend time with her............. :D

1. The night before I go to the local park and gather 99 dog pies.
2. I put 100 boxes in the backyard.
3. I put a dog pie in 99 of the boxes.
4. I put a fifth of Sambvca in the last box.
5. Wake up the day of the downtime.
6. Roll a d100 and open a box.
7. Repeat until I find the Sambvca.
8. Have my wife kick me in the n:)ts (to simulate Race Restriction)

I thenlog on AoC forums and dream of a game to get me out of this nightmare. (being addicted to a game that is down twice a week average lately) I then preorder my copy of said game and sit back and enjoy my precious little time. Ooops I ment precious little downtime I have left with the game I have invested two years of my life and uncounted riches.

Hey, come visit when AoC is off-line, which it will be. It's an MMO, so trust me, it will have downtimes.
