Well today I could have attended, however my laptop (and only way to log into AO) is half dead. Hard Drive is going, and I can just run the org bot and teamspeak, even tho both programs will freeze at random.
2 days without AO, and now I realize that even tho I don't spend as much time doing AO related things like I was 5years ago, I still spend a considerable amount of my day online, 90% doing AO stuff. Giving away starter kits to lowbies, giving away hundreds of items a week on another toon, doing public raids, on org and public raid bot teamspeak servers talking to AO players, running my org, posting in org and official forums, etc ,etc ,etc...
Now I can't do most of it because my web browser freezes (it's taken me about 20mins to get this far into this post) and my laptop is dying.
My patience is being tested, I want so badly to take a bat to this laptop, but I can't since it's the only way for me to do anything online.
I will try to continue supporting RP Events through AOU, if this laptop dies I will go to the local library and use their computers there to access AOU and do it from there if I have to (unfortunately they won't allow the installation of an MMO, and or even an IRC program, they thought I was nuts).
