Just an informal inquiry as to what everyone does when the Shard is down?

    I'm currently logged into LotRO. :)
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Sometimes I sit in a corner and rock back and forth mumbling to myself the words "fleet marks" and "dilithium" over and over again.....

    Though i haven't gotten to that point i know your pain... Having STO invade a dream or two is unsettling too :p

    Reading and patching the Tribble Server so the Holodeck patching runs faster. :-)

    Downtime is also perfect to spend time updating the biographies of my characters and bridge officers.

    When the Shard comes back up...

    Hi-ho, hi-ho its off to grind I go...

    Now you'll all have that stuck in your head the rest of the day. YW. Carry on.

    Making some iced tea, ordering the final season of LOST from Amazon and I plan to have a very serious conversation with the family dog over why chewing shoes is not an acceptable form of expression.

    Make food for me and family
    Sleep
    Play with my kids

    You know... things a parent does around dinner time.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Usually adventuring in Hyboria.

    One time, STO was down for maintenance and so was Conan.
    And DCUO.
    And SWTOR.

    Ever get that feeling like the whole world is against you?
    heh

    (EDIT: the acronym for Age of Conan is censored. In case anyone was wondering. Well played, Cryptic.)
