I am so mad at World of Warcraft! I am so mad that I am considering letting Scott turn on my City of Heroes again so I can go back to that. WoW is down every Tuesday for maintaince for half a day. So I usually plan on playing from 11AM on. Well today the damn thing still hasn't come up and it's almost 5pm! They took it off line at 3AM this morning! They owe me and everyone else free days, dammit. This is a rip off. So they have 15 million players, then all the more reason to get their shit together and keep their servers humming 24/7. If City of Heroes ansd City of Villains allowed independent professions, like WoW does, I'd play it. I get bored with having missions assigned and they have to be followed in a linear fashion to accomplish anything. Of course, if I had a better form of angst release then stupid online games, none of this would be a problem... LOL

Well if you're looking for another online game, I've been playing Runescape for a little over three years now. The graphics aren't very fancy(as this is Java-based)... but the combat's easy to work with, there's a lot of skills (mining, cooking, armormaking, jewelry-crafting -- which includes making your own magic items). And all that's just on the free version!
The paid version give you access to the other cities and dungeons, expands on the items you can make with the free server skills, and adds such skills as fletching, herblore, thieving, and construction -- so you can build your own house!
They may have to take down a couple of servers for work, but there's 132 total servers that can hold 2000 people each. So you'd be able to get in.
(OOC: Don't know if this post would be considered appropriate here. But I figured that if Saturn Girl was posting to the public about her problems with a game, that an offered solution might as well be public too?)

Thank you Seth!! I have never heard of Runescape before. WoW is supposed to offer jewelry making with he expansion in October when they launch the Blood Elf race. But in the meantime, especially if they offer a free trial period, I might give Runescape a try. I tried Star Wars Galaxies, and it wasn't a good match for me. Maybe your suggestion will be better. Thanks again

No, Runescape doesn't run a free trial period before you either have to pay or lose your character. You can play for free as long as you like; it's just the membership gives you a lot more places to go and things to do.

Thanks Seymour I just don't like that there is no independent element in CoH/CoV. Everything is linear, all the missions are 1,2,3,4. In WoW you can choose a career and work on your profieciency for days or even weeks before going on a quest. You can travel between lands with different climates and scenery. (Heck, it even rains and snows in WoW) You can fight humanoids and animals and monsters. I am probably not even doing the game justice in my explanation because I'm not very good at gaming anyway. But, if it keeps my interest, when I suck at playing, then a true gamer should really enjoy it. (I never duel, and I don't go to the raids or PvP's or dungeons. I just don't.) Anyway, I do miss CoH/CoV, and I don't want to lost my characters. Maybe I can justify asking Scott to pay for two $15 game accounts a month once we sell Mom and Dad's house, but right now I don't dare ask.

For those of you who still have active accounts but don't play them much, COH is having a Halloween themed event starting today. There will be salvage drops from the Halloween missions that will allow your character to have a 5th costume slot ...

I have a scrapper on Infinity who can now do the Trial of Transcendence. The range for this Trial is 12-15. Of course, you can be autoexemped for it.
Is there anyone who'd be interested in doing it?
