Happy Holidays, whichever, if ever, you celebrate from Foton the Evil Snowman and his imaginary AFK Gamer staff. Remember to feign interest when spending time with the family units; this could increase your guilt-free gaming time later.
Speaking of feigning interest … back to another fast-paced game of Scrabble.
I told you so. Again, today, with the bullshit login problems. Ordinn (Blizz dude) posts:
We understand people are experiencing login issues. Please post all relevant information in this thread.
Update – 6:20 PM PST: They are working on the issue right now. From what I understand it isn’t nearly as bad as yesterday’s issue. In fact, many people are logging in without problems, so keep trying to login.
Is he high? Relevant info? Like, that we can’t login? And, we can’t post because we can’t login? Should we post that? Like, someday when we can login?
My server just crashed while I was … let’s say, SKULKING … around where I shouldn’t have been. So I am no doubt dead. But!! This was not the worst thing that has happened to me in my virtual world today. Alas, the other crap was entirely my fault.
But that will be fodder for another time. For now, Warcrack logins are borked YET AGAIN.
Ho. Ho. Ho.
**UPDATE** Weee, I am dead. Ain’t no big deal. In the old days, we used to lose at least 5 levels when we died and had to fight our way back to our bodies naked, and then we died 82 more times and we were really mad by then, and yet we still played every day, all day. Because … hell, I don’t know why. I have a body to recover, and then I’ll have to pay 12 gold to repair my stuff and that explains why I won’t have a mount until I’m level 59, even though every Tom, Dick and Pally has a free mount at level 40.
People like to make lists around the end of the year. We could make lists in March, but then people would be like, “Dude, what’s with the lists in March? You’re totally late.” While I don’t really give a ratfuck if people think I’m lazy, I just don’t have the energy to explain every little thing to them.
My MMOG Wishlist of things I will never see in gaming:
1. Customizable reply buttons. You know how it is. Some level 5 ratfucker runs around ninja-inviting everyone to his spanking new guild and some box pops up on your screen while you’re running to the travel portal “Ratfucker wishes to invite you to his guild, Dragon Ratfuckers of Power” Accept or Decline. I want to have my Decline button text customizable. I’d customize it to “WTF” or “Go Away”. Same goes for the ninja group invites. Is it too much to ask that they send a tell before inviting the entire zone to their whatever?
2. X-ed functioning. Sometimes a player will go so far in their asshattery that I X them. As far as I’m concerned, they don’t exist. I want my /ignore functioning to go that one step further. I don’t want to see their lame chat, I don’t want to see their character … I don’t want to even hear rumors of them. I want to run past their hunt area and see monsters spraying blood for no reason, apparently engaged in combat with some mystery player; OR BETTER STILL, the monster disengaging and returning to its spawn spot, regenning like mad because it has slain said mystery player. Enjoy the graveyard, invisible fucker.
