    bummer... but still. this the first unscheduled downtime i experienced in almost 3 weeks of playing so that's okay. I just came from another game that had servers shutting down almost every other day. lol

    How about a SWAG as to when the servers will be back up. 2 hours? 4 hours? Tomorrow?

    I'd put money on 1-4 with past mmo history of what happens when things go wrong. 1 more hour if it all goes well, 4 more if it doesn't.

    12:30 pm PST (Moses Lake, WA, USA no luck logging into server. Outlook bleak. will check back soon. Should note, if this is found without me, i have died of boredom

    12:35 pm PST (Moses Lake, WA, USA Still no luck. I fear i hear the empty howling of the Boredom circling outside. I don't know how much longer i can keep it at bay. It sounds huge. Terrifying when it runs it's massive appendages over my door. The only thing that will keep it at bay indefinitely is the message on my screen changing. The login server is what can save me from this terrifying beast. Will keep you updated if i can.

    12:40 pm PST (Moses Lake, WA, USA The beast, Boredom, has managed to break a small shard of my sliding glass window. It keeps trying to thread one of its appendages through the hole it's made, but i have been forcing it back outside with a broom handle. It's starting to get smart though. I fear it's learning. It almost got the lock once, when i looked away to grab something to drink. Right now, its between me, and Boredom. I must win this one. Im cooking Pot Roast for dinner. Can't die without having Pot Roast. Will check back soon.

    12:45 pm PST (Moses Lake, WA, USA I have placed the wooden rod from my closet in the door track. It broke the lock and was slowly forcing the door open. It doesn't appear to have any massive strength, more like a droplet of water bearing down on the same exact spot countless times. It seems to wear away at things. The rod should hold the door in place for a while, though i fear the hole in the glass has gotten larger. Someone, Anyone, if you find this, tell my Boyfriend i love him.

    12:50 pm PST (Moses Lake, WA, USA) Boredom seems to have disappeared for the moment. I think it lays in wait, hoping i will go outside to check. I'm smarter than that. I will stay here and update my journal. For fun, i went and measured the hole in the glass. it has gotten bigger, didn't need to measure it to tell. Before i could barely fit my finger into the hole, now, my palm barely covers it. There's a decaying, fetid odor outside, coming on the breeze. I believe that's wafting off Boredom. If i press my face against the glass and look to the right, i can almost see it pressing against the side of the house, like it's trying to enter the living room through osmosis. Thank god Physics apply to it.

    10.55 pm GMT (Sweden) I have found this journal during my travels on the web.. Please, if you read this. If you are still out there. Tell me, how does one drive this monster of corruption and suffering away? I ask since I fear that it has found me.
    Yours truly.

    (cont... from pg 11)

    12:55 pm PST (Moses Lake, WA, USA) I keep an eye on the spare screen i hooked up. The message is unchanging. "Connecting to the login server. Please wait ..." Other than having to type my access code in, that is the constant. Boredom is worrying at the hole again. If i concentrate hard enough, i swear it has eyes and a mouth... or what could pass as a mouth. Perhaps its like those dementers i read about in those Potter books. Perhaps the Boredom sucks your soul out with its maw, leaving you alive, but devoid of happiness, cheer, and any thought process beyond basic life giving functions.

    01:00 pm PST (Moses Lake, WA, USA) I don't know what it's plan is, but the hole is about the size of a micro- personal watermelon.. you know those " organic" ones that fit in a small cereal bowl, but are oh so juicy, sweet and delicious? yeah. Thats the size it is now. Don't know why it doesn't pour itself in, perhaps it cant. I transferred my journal into an electronic forum. Hopefully someone reads this and saves me. OR saves the server. Saving the server saves me, so perhaps i should direct those wanting to help in that direction. I think the Boredom has realized the rod is keeping it from opening the door. It's started another small hole by the base of the door. It was distracting me with the larger hole. Only noticed when i heard the rod clunk back into place from Boredom picking it up

    Tech One: "Okay.. Think we've fixed the problem. Give it a shot and see if it works."
    Tech Two: *motioning towards a huge pile of various equipment on the ground*. " But what are all those extra parts on the ground?"
    Tech One: "Oh, don't worry about that, We can just offer those as daily giveaways in the next event."

    It's the American dating system. I know that EU uses DD/MM/YY. USA uses MM/DD/YY format.

    01:09 pm PST (Moses Lake, WA, USA) Still here, Sorry to cause alarm. I fear it almost had me that time. My eyes started to droop and i grew tired. I fear that some part of it got inside. I don't see it, but i can feel it's effects. Perhaps it's a self-populating reproducer. Like an organism's cells, dividing and splitting. Though, based on the size of the Boredom outside, i do not see any change in size. The offshoot should be the same size, but i guess it's more like a bead of Mercury, when shaken, tiny beads will appear. Perhaps thats how one got in. Regardless, its gone now., or at the very least hiding somewhere, laying in wait. The larger one is still working at the holes in the sliding glass door. The one by the rod is now roughly the size of a baseball. The other one, a Basketball

    Yes, it's very confusing as in my opinion it should be assorted from the smallest measure-day to the biggest measure-year. But in some programs it's automated american date format which makes me always confused.

    I have always been wondering about that one. Mathematically or logically it doesn't just make any sense, although mathematically it should be YYYYMMDD, but for convenience I can understand the european way of faster changing numbers to be first, but the US system is just weird...

    Usually it gets confusing when the date is less than 13th, in which case it is really hard to know which one is month and day if unsure of the standard. Sigh, when could the US join the global metric-system and get out of the Dark Ages...
