So, we all suffer from game updates and their maintenances!

The question is what do you do during Maintenance?

Personally, i check for how long the maintenance will last - Put an alarm on my iPhone. Get down to the fridge (Yes, unfortunatly i do not have a fridge in my gaming room, nor a microwave :((.. ) and get some food!

Aswell my cat is very demanding and requires food aswell, lots of it. And when he is finished i have to carry him to the TV and put on Animal Planet for him.

He told me he would like to be with us here on the forums, so here he is!

Then..

Eventually my alarm goes off, i run up and start the computer and login!! But there is times when the maintenance has to be extended due to lots of dwarfs going berserk with their hammers (Not very healthy for the servers indeed). If that happens, i may go on twitter or the forums and sit in the dark, and wait until i see a PW post - It is like heaven on earth!

Well, my days during maintenance may differ abit, but not by much.


What do you do?

    Ah, to be a child once more. I kinda miss those sometimes. What I do during maintenance? Not much, really. I have a billion other things to do, and don't spend too much time on a computer.

    Hm, i was hoping people would appreciate the irony and join in.

    There is obviously more to my life than the game, but its definetly a part of it.

    . . . . . Varies greatly. Sometimes I watch TV, sometimes I play other games, sometimes I moderate or just read forums. Sometimes I do many different things during the course of NWO's maintenance. Sometimes I just try and get some sleep. There's so many things, it would bea task to list them all, indeed. One thing that I do for sure is breathe.

    Now you're talking my language. :) So let me try this again:

    What do I do during maintenance? Hm... let's see:

    - There's the 37 Skylanders figures in front of my TV that needs a little cleaning.

    - Same goes for princess Garnet, or Dagger, if you will. (if you don't know who she is, shame on you.) :p Oh, and my facehugger and alien/lifter might need a little dusting too.

    - I haven't practiced my guitar in a while, so time to pick up the, uh, pick.

    - Dishes needs cleaning. In a while.

    - I go eat something.

    - Then I do the dishes. Maybe.

    - Always nice to find new music on Spotify.

    - I rearrange the Skylanders-figures based on element.

    - Any new youtube vids out from the people I subscribe to? Might want to check.

    - I go shopping.

    - Then I consider doing the dishes. In a while.

    - I rearrange the Skylanders-figures based on how much I like them.

    - I do the laundry.

    - I check if the maintenance is done.

    Keep that up! I've seen what happens to those who stopped breathing during maintenance, in-fact i've experienced it first hand! I was granted the title: The Living Dead, the other night!

    But escuse me the maintenance how long does it last? Are you telling me that you are unable to stay away from a videogame for so little time? Then when do you eat if there is no maintenance? When do you sleep? when....:p
