    I feel you. Still one char to go trough all the event stuff and all the dragon missions up to the last one, which I just opened today... :/

    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.

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

    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...

    Thank you for your patience.

    if it's at least 2 hours I won't bother waiting ... any information containing actual content would be appreciated!

    Umm.. the launcher itself... has a red light in upper left corner when off and Green when up..

    For a long time it showed green in the beginning, but now it seems to be correct again...

    It's because in conversation, someone usually says (using this example), "August the twenty-eighth, two thousand and fourteen," or some slight variant of that. In writing this was usually rendered as Aug 28, 2014; the format used online keeps the sequence and simply converts the month into a number.

    It is written as it is spoken.
    We would say "It is August Twenty-Eighth, Two Thousand and Fourteen" here, rather than "It is the Twenty Eighth of August, Two Thousand and Fourteen", as I assume it would be said in other parts of the World.

    Hey I like the metric system but your date format is weird. The american date format just follows the same format as conversation. If someone was to ask you what the date was you might respond with say an August twenty-eighth, or September first. You don't respond with a twenty-eighth of August in modern casual language.

    That's PW, isn't it? "Set it and forget it." All their best people are always building their next game and abandon the poor souls left to maintain things.

    On the US dates: It's so backwards that even our own military doesn't use it. They get DD-MM-YYYY, the rest of us get MM-DD-YYYY. So, it's not even internally consistent.

    01:20 pm PST (Moses Lake, WA, USA) I received notice that it might not be for another hour. I fear the Boredom will not wait that long. I put the metal rod in place. It goes in the middle of the door, at about waist height. Surely it can't move both, by the time it gets one i should, i hope, be able to get it back in place. It tried to distract me with the doorbell. it appeared to look like my neighbor, but i acted like i wasn't home just in case. I wasn't going to open my door and let the Boredom slip in.

    Neverwinter Online Dragon Server: Please Log in with your account details to play the game.

    Elder Fire Elemental: I recommend you Log me in with your account details so I can play the game.

    Neverwinter Online Dragon Server: I am the Server for Neverwinter Online. You Log in with your details or you won't be able to play the game.

    Elder Fire Elemental: No. I say again, you Log me in with your account details so I can play the game.

    Neverwinter Online Dragon Server: This is the Neverwinter Online Dragon Server, I am the only server for the entire Neverwinter Online MMO. Without me, the game will not function and players will not be able to play. I control who can Log on and who can not. If you want to play this game then you need to Log in using your account details. If you don't Log in using your account details then you will be unable to play the game and, in order to protect this game, your account may be banned.

    Well two thousand and fourteen is actually wrong as the "and" implies a decimal space, it would be proper to say it two thousand fourteen if we were to use words but by that point most sane people just use numbers ;)

    Depends on the language. Some languages have the day first.
    Hoping for improvements...

    Not sure about the US people I know, since it has been a while since I spoke with them, but every english speaking person I have been talking to lately uses the european (or metric) way of saying "28th of August 2014", and I think the last US person I spoke with was talking also the european way, but that could be learned habit from stay. Anyways atleast here written language is completely separate from spoken language and there are many rules how you write things that wouldn't make much sense in speech or would make it kinda stucky. Anyways I could understand that if they used letters to dictate month, but with numbers that makes things really confusing and logically as well as mathematically outright wrong.

    Which is why I, of course, do not;)

    these log entries have been by far the most entertaining thing I have read on the forums in months.

    I am partial to the metric system myself, but, I grew up on imperial, so changing for me would be difficult at best. Not to mention everyone I know and talk to uses imperial. I try to convert to metric for some of my friends that don't live in the US.
