So what's everyone going to do tonight since we can't play LOTRO?
I'm not really sure myself, might catch up on some Rock Band 2. Still got a bunch of songs I haven't unlocked.
I could re-up my sub to Warhammer and give it a go but I don't really want to. I'm horrible at playing more than one game at a time. But I may wuss out and just watch some History Channel.
What's your coping plans tonight??

It's Monday; therefore, I will be in front of the TV watching Heroes and Antiques Roadshow.
I'm also making a batch of Rice Krispy treats because I've had a weird craving for them recently.

I just cancelled my warhammer account before my new billing cycle tomorrow. I find my blood preasure rises too much as a try to heal pugs in that game. So now it's 100% lotro for me, although not tonight.
Tonight, I will cuddle up on the couch next to my wife and finish reading Storm Front, by Jim Butcher. She's been after me to read that book for a little while.

Tonight? Hrmmm... a nice home-cooked dinner with Yngvi, and then hopefully watch a couple of Netflix vids that we've been too busy to get to. And then, around Midnight... I'll sneak online and see if the game servers are up yet.

That sounds so tempting, Verewen. I've heard rumors that Best Buy has put the MoM boxes out already. I'm going to check after work. Who needs sleep, right?

Hmmm, downloading and patching while V and I do dinner and a movie. Patching ought to take a while, anyhow...

Okay so the nice home-cooked meal turned into a pizza cooked and delivered by someone else... the movies probably aren't going to happen either. Guess I'll just sit here and pine away, waiting for the game to come back up.

The usual for a Monday night. First I'll be forced to watch Dancing with the Stars and then I'll force her to watch Heroes.

I spent part of tonight hunting down a LOTRO box because I didn't feel like hunting for it tomorrow. Three Best Buy stores in a 15 mile radius: astoundingly different stock. One had a bazillion pre-order boxes and no regular boxes. One had no MoM stuff at all (ought to fire the person making inventory decisions!). And the last was a gold mine of Complete and Collector's editions. But the key is applied to my account now and I'm thumbing through all the box materials. It will be so hard to pay attention to my job tomorrow.

So I have spent most of the evening PRAYING HARD that comcast will get their crap together and fix whatever the hell they broke today. Between prayers I managed to put in 2 phone calls, in addition to the one Jeff made before he went to work this afternoon. So how am I making this post? From my laptop and my verizon air card that work gave me for traveling. This will not help me come tomorrow with the game.....so when do the servers come up? Anyone know?
Also resting up and hoping that I will get over this cold real soon, while watching Family Guy. I've pretty much given up on both Heroes and Sarah Conner....

This is why I dont raid. Shakespeare does not approve of it. What the bard says goes, ya knows. Of course he approves, did he not say? "If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?"

I have patched my client, chatted on Vent, read reviews, trolled the forums, watched the new video, and read a book. It's going to be midnight in TurbineLand soon, but someone I doubt they're going to oblige me by opening up Landroval.
I may just have to go read for the rest of the night.
*sniff* No LotRO. Feh.

Turbine is a bunch of sadistic &*$#@! It's 12:10 eastern, I tried to log in for the hell of it, and it shows Landroval as one of the servers that is up ... but it gives me an error that says I can't enter the queue.

Well, lets be serious. Nothing like firing up megabanks of servers, and having 400,000 people try to connect at the same time. I cannot imagine that can be a recipe for good things. lol

It's 8:25am EST. I am waiting for a couple of things. 1) For comcast to fix my f'ing internet like NOW and 2) for the doctor's office to open because I am feeling worse (yay and I get to fly like this tomorrow!). I am not a happy camper.
Is anyone at home today? Are the servers all up and running yet? Akor is pissed, he's still asleep but he still has to patch up and everything.

Yes, the game is up and running as of 1:00 a.m. or so, but couldn't actually get into the game at that time because EVERYBODY else was trying to do the same thing. I was able to successfully log in around 4:00 a.m. (I SO did no sleep well last night!) and all was well! I really hope that the doctor fixes you up, Lorenia! Traveling while sick is pretty awful. And Comcast had better get the lead out!

I keep waking up too early, so I decided to take advantage of that and hop online. I didn't make it to Eregion before I had to leave for work, but I did score my Forochel port and got Pepper close to Eregion. If you ever need a lift to Suri'Kyla, let me know. I did make two new little characters. Dodder (Hobbit Burglar for now) and Noffin (Dwarf Runekeeper). Yes, I named my hobbit after an insidious weed. It was really hard finding an available plant/gem/food name. Pickle will get his Warden reroll in a day or two when less people are around.

I am seriously going to hurt someone from Comcast. It's 5:14pm and we STILL don't have internet. Yeah... smart idea, piss off a sick, redheaded jersey girl.....not smart comcast, not smart.
