Good morning, happy campers.
Not a ton to tell today. Logged in my main and check broker sales. Made a whopping 8g in sales. A couple days ago I sold a pre-made xegonite weapon for 85g so that made me feel good as those sell at the rate of once every couple months or so. Dropped some gear I had acquired off on the shared bank for my alts.
Logged in my coercer to pick up one such piece of gear from the shared bank. Called home. This was a problem, you see, as I moved this toon to Neriak. I don't know if it's just me and my machine or if it's Antonia Bayle in general or just the zone, but during most of the day Neriak is so laggy that it's damn near unplayable. Having 80 people crammed into the crafting tunnel means that you run the risk of lagging our every time you get anywhere near it, let alone try to take an action. Well stupid me has his bind point down there, right next to the banker. So the whole affair went something like this:
- Cast call of Neriak.
- Get up to go make a sammich.
- Come back and look at "Loading UI Resources" progress bar.
- Go get a drink.
- Let the dog out.
- Come back to watch "Adding character to zone" progress bar.
- Finish sammich.
- Let dog back in.
- Sit down to finally watch zoning screen fade away.
- Open bank menu.
- Grab item from bank and begin to drag to inventory.
- Lag out to character select.
- Log back in, watch loading screens for several minutes again.
- Open bank menu.
- Grab item from bank and begin to drag to inventory.
- Lag out to character select.
- Log back in, watch loading screens for several minutes again.
(Ed: No, this isn't deja vu. Happened twice in a row)
- Open bank, grab item, miraculously drag it successfully to inventory.
- Spend 15 minutes running out of the tunnel, hit the docks and port to Nektulos Dock. Vow never to return to Neriak until I upgrade my RAM or SOE does something about spreading out the concentration of people in that zone.
How was your evening?
