Who wouldn't offshore this guy's job?
India loves it when people offshore. I changed a lot of my stuff (insurance, internet, etc) to companies that don't... put your local pals first.

If only we could all play EQ at work [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You should probably not speak unless you know what you're talking about. You think any job is offshoreable? What about a nurse? A mechanic? Or in my case, IT support which requires hands on hardware support.

You just sound like someone who is jealous with a hangup on offshoring jobs. I do my job quickly and efficiently, which gives me downtime to play EQ. Keep working hard and maybe someday you can be as successful as me!

I then have my equipment set up where I have a KVM switch which toggles control between my work PC and my laptop (which is hidden under my desk) and my aforementioned monitor. That way my mouse+keyboard+second monitor are controlling my laptop, and hitting the button on the KVM changes my mouse+keyboard+second monitor to my work desktop.

So I play off an on all day at work, if anyone comes to talk to me in my cube I hit the mouse 4 button which is bound to feign death, and then under my desk my knee hits the button on my KVM switch which switches my second monitor to my work desktop. It's flawless and nobody is none the wiser. I do a lot of AFK camps to level.

Long story short, try a necro.

First guy in line to complain about off-shoring.

If you put as much effort into your job as you do trying to get away with playing EQ at your job I think you are way overdue for a promotion and a huge raise.

I don't think its forbidden, but I have heard of people frowning upon it, and sometimes going out of there way to kill an afk mage. Other than that, isn't afking like that part of classic? Also, why does the player have to get aggro, doesn't pets aggro here? Can't you just set your pet to guard in the middle of a camp and afk your guy in a more safe area?

Ive played EQ for years at work. for the past few years I worked at a small hospital and ran the Emergency Room(3 bed ER). Most of the time is play my necro and FD when something crazy comes in(really sucks when I finally get a pop at a good camp though).
As for the afk leveling if you're FD then your pet wont agro so that doesnt work. There are ways around it but it gets shady and yes the GMs will bind you underwater or in a bad spot = death loop for doing that. I have been threatened.

In the UK's case we ship nurses in... regardless of our young people having less opportunities for careers than 10-20 years ago.

Onshoring? Insourcing? Last time I was in a hospital after a motorbike accident I had a nurse who could barely speak English... seemed nice, but couldn't chat to her lol
