Allow me to explain: I had been unable to play online at all. Tinkering a bit, I somehow managed to get back online, and saw ample proof of connectivity. Then the damn thing crashed and from that point on there was no online gameplay. I kept trying to get online again with no success, until in a fit of frustration I did the equivalent of a table flip and uninstalled the damn thing.
Best thing I could have done actually.
I know what "frustration" means... I almost threw my laptop though my window yesterday, as Firefow crashed and made me lose a message that I has been typing for 42,98 minutes.

Sorry to answer >6 hours later... I have a lot of work to do in the afternoon !!! >__<
Is that work- work or being busy with home and family matters?
I've been busy with other community related things, so haven't followed the thread - I assume still no word from DD?

The worrying thing is the possibility of Owl syncing up with me in any way. Poor lady needs extra hugs in a hurry if that's starting to occur. =)

I'd give -you- this extra hug with pleasure, if you didn't hate human contact that much ;-p
That's very kind of you, and I appreciate the thought. =)

And no, sadly still no news from our beloved DD... :-|

At least with singleplayer there's a pause. You can save, shut it off, no one's depending on you to be there for those quests, you aren't having to schedule crap like it's an unpaid second job, and as a huge bonus, the stories actually have a frigging ending.

I thought of buying them a couple of times. But then i'm not too much into MMOs after all. I got TESO because i like the Elder Scrolls games.

Yes, I use the word fatigue also. Not in any sort of multilingual way, since any attempt at another language on my part would be embarrassingly, insultingly bad, but it's a word that gets general usage.
I've never really tried lowering caffeine intake. If anything, I used to experiment with doing even more.
Found out how much No-Doz it takes to become violently ill, for example.
Not the best time in the world, but lesson learned - don't take half a box of caffeine pills if you don't want to end up with your head in a wastebasket feeling like your heart's going to explode. -laughs-
But that is on the list of things to do, since I've been hooked on caffeine so long that I can't remember what it's like to not be taking it in huge amounts every day.
So now would probably be a good time to take the chemicals away and see what my brain does without them.
(Willing to bet on sheer panic for a few days, for starters...)

Yes! I reallllly like being able to pause, especially since I'm a busy gal who can be pulled away by work and/or family at any moment! I can't count the number of times I've had to walk away from the computer, and not be able to get back to it for an hour or more! Hence MMO's = Evil.

The second one was a truly open world in which you can meet any players anywhere. But my favorite part are the dragon fights. They're open world events that require at least a hundred or more players to pull off. The bosses are truly massive and they really manage to give off a sense of epicness in their scale.

And everyone knows that RPG's are at their absolute pinnacle when you progress like a freshly salted slug.

Yes of course, it's one of the many, many loanwords the engliss language has. Allow me to illustrate my point with this famous quote from a usenet group.
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."
Also, Crow not drinking coffee? The day that happens I'll take it as a sign of Cthulhu awakening.
