    Making one step forward four steps back. You know it's bad, when you start finding last year presents in SFA.

    You know it's bad when you beam down and without doing anything take six steps to the left.

    You know the rubberbanding is bad when:

    - You report to Admiral Quinn's office to be promoted to Fleet Admiral annnd...
    ...He announces your promotion to Lieutenant.

    - You decide to pop a Disco Ball in the Main Consourse on ESD annnd...
    ...You find yourself boogieing to the beat all alone in one of the Dressing Rooms.

    - Your char walks from the Transporter Room in First City to Q in front of the Great Hall annd...
    ...Other players in the same instance join in on your impromptu conga line.

    "Say two five one zero. Party's over. Ooops! Out of time.
    So today I'm gonna party like it's 2409!" :D

    You know the rubber-banding is bad when...

    You enter Argala with your T6 Guardian Cruiser and leave with a T1 Reliant.



    ...of course that could also be because of the massive grind now found in the game...

    When you run past Q, and start over. When you run past Q, and start over. When you run past Q, and begin cursing at the screen!

    "Chosen one!" "I'm coming!" If you get that, thank you. :P

    When your rainbow shoots coins, but your party popper was already put away.

    When you click confirmation to teleport to your ship then are asked for confirmation once more after you had already beamed out. If I don't confirm will my molecules be lost? :rolleyes:

    When your party poppers flail, flies out of the back of your head.

    When your X-Ray vision kicks in once you arrive at ESD. Be careful that you don't fall down the rabbit hole!

    When you begin to laugh at remembered scenes from, "Groundhog Day."

    When you beam in multiple times. "Has the Captain beamed down?" "Yes, she will arrive again momentarily."

    When you realize the scheduled band for this years party is a rubber one. XD

    You know the rubber banding is bad when you jump off a ledge and then fly back up.

    ...and when you climb out of the pond, and the server says "NO!" and throws you back in.

    ...and when you run up a ramp and suddenly find yourself beneath it.

    (All of these really happened to me :P)

    You know that rubber banding is bad when... Pigs in space is launched from the server of your game.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
