Aaaaaaaaaaand We’re Back!

July 31st, 2008

Super gigantic huge thanks to my server admin (and ex boyfriend D: ) who worked some magic and fixed the super huge wtf mess that was here!

Unfortunately, I’m leaving for vacation tomorrow, so there won’t be anything exciting here until I get back.

BUT!

I’m bringing my laptop along with me, along with a metric asston of screenshots that need to be edited, so expect some kind of super huge mega awesome update when I return on the 9th!

Gonna try to pirate some internets while I’m away too to make some tweaks on this site. :o Need to find a layout that I actually can work with…

Interesting Article on Account Theft

June 25th, 2008

Found this reading BG, and I thought it was a really well written article and really brought the point across. In lieu of an actual post right now (I haven’t edited my screencaps yet -.-), I figured I’d share this. The article focuses on the theft of one FFXI player’s account.

Still Alive!

June 23rd, 2008

Sorry for the hiatus- working in a high school this time of year gets crazy and draining. Thanks to those who’ve been /poking me about updating (HI2U TREY). Plan to do an update this week, though nothing terribly exciting has happened in the last month or so.

I did reactivate my WoW account. Again. Gonna play off and on this summer. Maybe get 1 of my Alliance charas a mount and possibly get my Horde chara up high enough to get one too. We’ll see.

Update incoming before the week is over! ^^b

Fuck Comcast.

Apparently they decided tonight that no one in NJ the US should play FFXI.

Anyone remember the Optimum Online outage a couple years ago? I dealt with that crap too… so many irate phone calls to Cablevision and PlayOnline… I actually got hit on by a CSR in the process (he was also a gamer) and was helping him troubleshoot it on the side.

GOD DAMMIT.

I had a crappy day at work and just wanted to play FFXI tonight. -.-

Fuck.

How Rude!

June 5th, 2008

So Etain and I where leveling RDM and DRG last night, she dings 62 (I am still 3k away) when all of a sudden I get a /t

“Can you please move your solo, my party would like to use this area.”

Now mind you we have been here for 3 HOURS now with search comments stating we where here with POS and everything to help partys find a good camp site.

I say to him I’m sorry but we where here first and have been here for hours now, and we are in fact a party ourselves. I mean really we are hitting chain 5 with the two of us making 1k a chain, there was no way with how fast we where chaining they could have come in and come close to getting mobs, we where wiping the area clean.

Again I get a /t “we are being courteous to you could you please move.”

Now I am angry. Disregarding trying to cure myself with Nuage I go “NO, we where here first, we have BEEN here for hours now, I am not soloing I am in a party and there is no way I am giving up our spot to a party of 53-55’s with a PL, go to campsitarus and find another spot.”

“your just here with a RDM”

me:” right and last I check two people does not equal being a solo….”

This went on for like 20 minutes all the while Etain and I hitting chain 5s still until finally they leave. To make things even more confusing a member from Magitek whos in this party agrees with me and is cheering me on for telling his party to move.

But I mean really, YOUR being courteous by telling my wife and I to move after we have been here for hours now? After we went out of our way to do everything in our power to let people know we are at this campsite. Never mind those facts lets look at your party. 53-55 , not counting past areas which people are not keen to level on, you have Boyhata (sp?), Kuftal, and Woodlands not to mention a second camp in Thickets where we where. You cant tell me with the difficulty of even getting a party in these levels due to low player base leveling under the merit levels that ALL of these camps where taken. While yes it IS a bit easier for us to move around, I am a DRG, thus I am going to be sticking to what I hit best, which is going to be nice flying winged critters like Colibri, Flys, and Puks.

I think thats been the toughest thing about doing a “non-traditional” party and only going out with 2-3 people. The 6 member traditional parties feel that your invading in their space all the while leaving camps wide open. Its funny but its that type of entitlement that is the reason WHY Etain and I started doing this, because people wasted more time trying to get this mythical perfect party spot than they did actually leveling.

And if your wondering what Etain and I do when we get somewhere and people are leveling? We leave and find somewhere else. That how we found the fly spot in the past was because we where having difficulty finding mobs that where free between bats in Oubliette and Lessers in Aht Urgahn. Oh well was humorous anyway.
