Having stared at the login screen for 15mins I stopped trying to muster the enthusiasm to login.  As my subscription was due to renew in a few days I decided to cancel for now.

All the best to the tribe.

I'll most likely reformat and lose some years collected crap of some images, text loggs, screenshots, and some not that easy to find downloads.

I am in a very "I R MAD!" state and want to typo this post to hell and back. But then Gruth will just look at me disaprovingly. And it's far to annoying when he does.

A piece of advice if I may, from spending the last 23 years building PCs and using Microsoft operating systems.  If you have to format and start again have two seperate partitions.  The first one (C:) is for the o/s and apps, depending on the size of your hard drive I'd suggest between 50-200GB perhaps more if you have a lot of apps and the second partition (D:) for all your data.  You can easily change the location that My Documents points to so using another location is straightforward.  That way if the C: drive needs formating and the o/s needs re-installing all your data is still there.

Personally I've taken it to a futher extreme.  I have two 500GB disks set up as follows

HD1
Partition 1: 150GB - C: - Operating System and standard apps
Partition 2: 250GB - F: - Virtual Machines (stuff I do related to work occasionally using VMware workstation)

HD2
Partition 1: 250GB - D: Games (seperate partition, so I don't lose these if the operating system dies; seperate disk so o/s background access to the disk doesn't interefere with game access to the disk)
Partition 2: 250GB - E: Stuff (General download and other crap I need to sort out)

As for my data, well I'm in IT and have my own server at home so its on that.

I wonder if people are asking or interested for this because they have non-orc characters that they don't have, and don't want to have, in other guilds.

If the vote is for an orc only guild, which is fine by me, what do people think of the idea of a seperate guild perhaps associated as part of the Red Blade tribe but not in the ORB guild.  The guild could have a name of 'Tribe of the Red Blade' or 'Allies of the Red Blade' and is to give a home to those characters that people don't want in other guilds.  It wouldn't have to be an in-character entity just a place to put non-orc characters for those that want to.

Entered Shadowfang Keep to do a low level quest earlier and was instantly disconnected.  Now at the logon screen it doesn't list which zone she is in; if I try and log her on it disconnects whilst still showing the zoning screen.

Petition sent and now waiting, hopefully won't be too long.

I like the idea of a central static hub but with events, that may go on for weeks, where we are temporarily at a camp elsewhere.  So if an event is on we head to the 'camp' for RP, otherwise we head to the hub.

An event being in progress should remind everyone where to go for RP and if there isn't a camp mentioned people know to head to the hub.

I've always used Ruhyna as a healer in dungeons and raiding.  Always willing to come along to help if needed.
