Sometimes as a pioneer hardcore players, We think of Thursday as " Rest Day ". But I was wondering what do a player thinks of a daily activity till server resumes?I conducted a few survey and pinned a question like " What's the first thing you do when your computer starts during SM (Server Maintenance) "
I got top 5 list on this one, So here it is:
5.) I open up my Messenger (YM/MSN)
- Well most of us don't want to end the game just yet, some of our pioneers got their MSN/YM contacts of their friends in game also their faction mates, some say they just chit chat for nothing and just want to let pass time and some also talks about what to do in game at the time server resumes like what boss to go in, what time is TOD (time of death) before maintenance, squad to full up, etc...
4.)Check My Mail and Update my Blog
-Put me on this list co'z I'm a blogger myself so I usually update during server maintenance " admitted guilty " haha! some check their mail co'z some hard core players became unconcious this couple of days due to focus on the game. well most of us open the browser just to let the time pass also. Friendster, MySpace, Facebook, Hi5,Plurk, etc... Playing browser game online is in this category...
3.)Check my Television, Household Chores and Use my phone SMS/Calls
-Yah I gotcha!some pioneers forgot oh, we have television to watch and radio to listen to, I'll do some movie marathon. Oh I gotta clean my room and do some household chores. This kind of amnesia applies really. Co'z the whole week, obviously our attention are focused on the computer..admit it! hahaha XD.
Some make some calls to say hi hello to their friends and asking for a lunch out or just bumming their self for a couple of hours to their friends house...calling their special someone or their friends just to fast twist the clock...crazy enough but true hahaha!
Some clean their room, do their household chores like cleaning dishes, polishing their floors, cleaning the appliances, washing their cars " I don't do that often :P ", etc...Just to make the short term time clock knock up so the time they are finish, server up!weeee!
2.)" Busy " in School and at Work
- Oh, very common for most of the pioneers, you know they just focus on their normal habbit going to school and work, feeling the rush and pressure. Everything slacks on the bottle but quoting the BUSY word, buggling your mind on something heh?haha!
You focus your mind on work and school twice as much during maintenance co'z if you ain't, You sure got bored for sure! haha! As survey runs, somebody quote " Yah I feel like studying more focused so time will rush to run, after my classes, time for GE is up! ". Well nice nice proposal, work and school blending up just to let server up, hahaha!
1.) Playing LAN/other online games/offline games
-At the top of my list, as they say, "Once a gamer, always a gamer". they don't wanna scratch their hands for nothing, they wanna do something just to amuse their day. Bottom line, just let the PC run and I'll play still and play always...
Whatever you do just to let time pass pioneers, this is just a one of a million things to do just to make up things in our normal everyday life and pulling out ourself in GE world just for a while. Make our life a well balanced beam...Till then pioneers, tata~
