What are you all going to be doing now that the server will be done for awhile? As much as I hate to say it, itll prob be back to WoW for me =/. Maybe a little BC2 / HoN / SC2 Beta also.

Im playing some PEQ right now,

normally I hated it especially because of Luclin Models and multi boxing. Well I turned off all the luclin graphics, and the boxing is there but I wont do it. I figure this is a good place to practice some classes I thought of rolling as alts on P1999.

P1999 has some serious time to put in towards characters and gear is not as epic. PEQ is a good place to play easily, gear up, but also see if I enjoy playing a bard in this example.

Of course Im hoping P1999 comes back up.

What are the rules on that server? I mean, xp / money rates different? Any restrictions? Maybe Ill try that also, like you said its a good way to try out different class's, assuming the leveling is faster that is.

This is both quarter end and tax time for my business so I would have been light on play time this week even without the server outage. The time I would have had to play today I used to flame that poor guy who wants to solo a cleric and I took a long nap. It's highly likely that I'll sleep a lot and then grind my cleric from 40-50 when we're back online.

Plus, I've only played DAoC classic as it was released from mythic, no expansions. I don't know whats up with the private serv even if there aren't that many patches, theres still boxing i think :T

why would anyone still buy a kindle when you can get an ipad (at the low end of the line) for about the same price that works as a better e-reader AND does so much more.
