Things To Do While Waiting On The Queue

[RéMe]

So, the time has returned that we all thought was gone due to server transfers, people quitting the game and upgrades to equipment.

That's right Folks, your good buddy and mine, the LOGIN QUEUE has made it's triumphant return to Mal'Ganis! Woooppiieeeeee!!! 10 min queues are back. The good news is I'm not trying desperately to get in because a whole damned raid is waiting for the MT to get on. The bad news is, well... i'm fucking QUEUED.

So, what to do during that 10 mins?

start your list.. here's a brief one that's occupied me the last few nights.

1) logonto ATF.com and check the latest posts.
2) post hate notes to Silver.
3) update my iPod.
4) put on a documentary on the Providence Greys which is airing on the local PBS station. (bonus to anyone who can, from memory, name what they're famous for)
5) rearrange some playlists on my iPod and update it again.
6) post a nonsensical list to ATF.com
7) do a few futile searches for the Rocky Point theme song jingle which is perpetually stuck in my head, particularly after watching "You Must Be This Tall: The Story Of Rocky Point" this evening. Neutral Nation's version is good, but the original RAWKS!

I dunno what else.. we'll see.

EDIT: I forgot the biggie.. watch the Patriots try REALLY REALLY hard to lose to the Ravens, but have the Ravens try harder to fuck it up. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!

10 minutes? You got lucky. I waited (and I counted) THIRTY SEVEN minutes the other night.

Must be logging in early enough to miss these ques but here they have been very long.

So until that time comes can't say what I did.

Thought about what it would be like on Nazjatar..

(gonna give up tonight, I'm sure)

[Stoke]

simple solution.

LOG IN EARLIER!

[Fatalle]

Or later. I got in right away logging in at midnight.

[SilverTalon]

I got in logging in at....oh wait...I didn't log in...

Silly me.

[Grunt]

Yea, it'd be nice to take the whole guild over to that low-pop server. However, it's just too complicated to take EVERYBODY, especially when not everybody logs in every single day. One can still dream though....

[Ghryphen]

Wait it out, let everyone else move.

[Stoke]

We've been through this before.....

Uh, No. I *should* be able to get on w/o a 45 min wait at any time..

Yes, we've been through this before and yes, we've waited it out before and yes, it'll eventually get resolved, BUT (and this is a pretty big but), Blizzard should have fixed this issue long ago. There shouldn't have been any transfers or new accts allowed a long time ago to prevent this from happening and more importantly, the infrastructure upgrades that they promised us would take care of it should have done the job.

I shouldn't be restricted to what time to log on because Blizz isn't doing thier jobs.

bah, I guess I'm just really sick of the things blizz has screwed up (like my main's entire class....) and am frustrated w/ the game to the point where an annoyance like this is truly making me think about quitting.

Anyone know of a different game that's as much fun?

Bejeweled 2!
