What to do when the server is down

[jasonpauldegraaf]

Hey all,

Just thought I'd start a thread with some suggestions of what to do when the server is down. Feel free to add your own.

1) Work on a bio/journal.
2) Ask the DEVs and DMs how you can help with the server.
3) Send a Tell to a new forum user saying welcome.
4) Submit quest script ideas
5) Submit RP ideas to DMs
6) Get laundry done and make a sandwich!
7) Post screen shots.

Laundry done and make a sandwich needs to be moved to (1) priority

Ohh, Ive got one, You could always flesh out your character with a character background on the forum. Im sure im not the only one who enjoys reading people's character bios :0

Go post a reply!
And make a funny one!
In absence of play time, people tend to get bored!

I read certain bios lol, generally the ones that are most active in my events. For those Ive never played with its generally due to timezones, so I really cant do much.
Good ideas though

I read the lore section cough cough. It has lots of background straight from the Forgotten Realms Archives.

...Catch up on the sleep I lose playing on this wonderful server.

[Iceshard]

Go chat with the new players who could not join in on the gamespy chat channel. Tell them that the server is great and this type of thing do not happens all the time. Its just a bad week

Pray (if you believe in that stuff)... pray real hard. Then, call your doctor *while still shaking*, and ask if long term server withdrawals can be treated with medication.

[raethen]

so... if i do my laundry i HAVE to make a sandwich?

i wish i'd known that before i did my laundry, i was hungry at the time...

lets see,

1) Read you entire Fr campaign setting, cover to cover
2) Forget everything you just read that happened after 1350 DR
3) Buy a plane ticket to sweden, a toolkit, and a "Server Repair for Dummies" book, and get to it!
4) Harness latent electrokinetic abilities and turn yourself into a biogenetic server that we can play NWN2 on, hopefully you wont lag.

Relive the baldurs gate two series.

Right now I'm playing a female Paladin with the Cavalier kit (DIE DEMONS AND DRAGONS), and so far I have defended myself against the harpers, rescured a child from the red dragon Firkraag, stormed the De'arnise stronghold and driven off the trolls, took care of some fallen knights, saved one of my party members from an evil curse, picked up a handsome gnome of awesomness and now I'm helping some destraught hill villagers with some local supersititions.

Such an old game yet never dies!/

Good call. I have BG 1 coming in the mail. I've played BG2 but never the first one. It should be in soon.

[DM blessedone]

BG I !!!! Now, get ready for some awesomeness within that game as well!! Did you get the expansion "Tales of the Sword Coast" as well? Oh man...I am going to go and have to reload those darn games now to get me fix....and perhaps go through Icewind Dale for some Hack-n-Slash as well!!! GAME ON!
