For love of the game..
 
I have a problem.

Now since I'm currently goin LD, I thought it would be a good time to put out fair warning. If ya grp with me, I have probably told ya, but I'm getting tired of typing it all out.

I live in rural Alaska for the summers, hundreds of miles away from even a basic cable connection. My only option is a shitty 3rd (more like 7th) tier satellite internet. This basically means I will probably go LD almost every time I zone (tried everything). It's the way it is. Has been that way since I first started a year ago, lvled to 52 on a druid like that. My will is strong. But I will LD.

Sometimes, if the clouds are thick, logging back on could take 45 mins or more, this is time spent relogging and LD before the character select. But I do it. I will return haha!

So, if it takes longer than expected for me to reappear, that's what I'm doing.

But, the winter is coming and I'll be back to a good connection and play time soon. Around November or so I should be able to put in the 14 hour days on the reg. See ya then =)

TL;DR: Pity me

P.S. Eximo, I'm tryin to relogg right now, them jboots are callin.

Why not hunt or fish like your fellow statesmen?

I've watched 30 Days of Night, therefore I know what you must be going through :(

Good luck with that satellite internet, takes patience I'm sure. Clear skies at night though?

Very clear tonight! Just got my first set of jboots ever!! Thanks Eximo!

All the time. But when you're a hunter/gatherer irl, it's not about what ya can take, it's about what ya need. Subsistence life.

Yeah for all you working stiffs. You don't need to work 24/7 to survive/subsist.

Hunter gatherer who plays EQ? I must know more, call up Dos Equis, boys, the NEW most interesting man in the world hath been discovered!

I don't always play games, but when I do, I choose EQ.

Fame 08-25-2013 06:19 PM

Oh and it's not like I'm out in a hole somewhere in the deepwoods. But I fish/hunt for a lot of the food available here in Alaska. I'm not some badass that chose this, it's just the way of life in AK.
