/p A new guide? Every time I see the Spring 2004 guide at the store the first thing that crosses my mind is "Why would I pay $20 for a book which does not have a search function of any kind?"

Get a tan? Have fun? You do realize it's also hurricane season in some parts, so it being "Summer" sorta makes it pointless to step outside and see the su-... err.. black, voluminous clouds that loom overhead. Eh.. atleast I got a chance to read a bit more and watch Office Space and Princess Bride again. :\

Bah, new distribution system for experience past 75 according to the announcements junk. Sounds like a higher level cap won't never be available to us. That sucks, but at least it means with exp being distributed to "various attributes", leveling won't stop at 75, one more thing to do up when I hit that there level. More on topic though...WHY WONT THAT STUPID "CHECK VERSION" BUTTON GET REPLACED WITH MY FAMILIAR PLAY BUTTON. ._. *cries*

LOL! They probably extended it because they lost everyone's characters and info, and are frantically working to get it back, but they didn't back it up, so the game is gone forever! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better be good
# Jun 28 2004 at 8:43 PM Rating: Default
This patch better be good not like adding **** that is too expensive like prob the maniquins will be. What was wrong with the Auction house? The only reason I saw was me paying 20K for something and it dropping to 15K and me losing money, that's ludacris. The GMs and/or Game developers are probably enjoying a lag-free environment making all the ITs to lvl 75's Too weak for their own characters so they can level up quick as one of you guys said above or below. I'm getting parranoid quick someone get my @§§ another steroid!

What's that NM drop? I heard it drops 1 hour of playing time and mostly usless things like 13 hours of matinence. How much does this go for? My LS said it sells for my isanity, but will someone check the price and reply please?

I hear the Rare/Exclusive item "Hour of Playing Time" (Lvl 1, All Jobs, All Races, Most Servers)goes for somewhere around $12.95 a month (Earth time)... The Exclusive item "13 Maintenance Hours" (Lvl 1, All Jobs, All Races, All Servers) goes for somewhere around $5000... which balances out quite nicely because that's about how much you'd spend at a psychologist. Ofcourse this is the last I checked... Ever since the fix, they may have the ability to oddly stack the "Hour of Playing Time"...
