I haven't played since this summer, Zakku. I'm trying to redownload right now. My internet is being absolute shit right now. Zakku, you're in NYC right? What ISP do you use? I have Earthlink but it seems the lines are owned by Verizon, so they're raping me.
DLing today with shit weather at 55.6kbs. Wut?

I maxed out Jaayse on XP, so she's technically lvl 20 now
Will need to decide if I will make her 20 right away or play at 19 a while.

Elios switch to optium ( time warner maybe for you), Earthlink uses covad who leases the lines from verizon..I constantly have problems at work with the signal from the CO, sometimes i need to cycle the router to get another switch. When we put in DSL at my work took covat 6 months to find a pair of wires that would pass the test ( and we have 10 pairs of lines assigned to us and another 150 sitting in our building).
Since I finally convinced the optimum that my signal strenth was low and the boosted it, I havent had any real problems, so I would recommend you switch to cable, it is much faster.
you can check what people in your area have in terms of upload/download speeds ( and test your own ) at DSLReports.com

I keep hearing good things about Optimum. And yeah, my net went out an entire month once and eartlink was having no cooperation with Covad or Verizon at all, and then Verizon would call me asking me to buy their Fios and I'd chew them out about it and they'd pretend to not know their affiliation with Earthlink at all. So they don't need my business. I had Compuserve before this and AOL denied its affiliation with them. Earthlink was really good for a while but now it's crap. Thanks for the advice.
I kept my wizard but don't feel like using her at the moment. I'm rolling a new Barbarian named Prawno Monkeechyle. Don't ask.

I was in a group waiting for Hound tonight (my first hound) and the group leader let in fatherkline. The name sounded really familiar, so I tried to ask the guild if he was bad to group with. Only Bella was on, but she must have been running a quest or afk because she didn't see it. So I went here to see if I had the right name, and there he was, top of the Do Not Group list. I made my excuses, and hopped over to another hound group (there were 3 up at the time including the one I dropped). All of a sudden, after I switched, everyone else from the other hound except fatherkline switched over.
We ended up having a pretty good run of it, and I learned all about the mother issues those puppies have. And I pulled Lorrik's necklace on my first run!
I also ran my first VoD, but didn't pull any named items.

Dont feel bad Elois I am level 13 and still feel like a Noob.
I would ask Dee and Bella they are the power levelers here
are you Free to play or Pay to play it makes a big difference
Allot of us have baby toons who can group and run with you,
The quickest way I have found is to run with groups.

If you want to solo, then may I suggest this link:

I learned most of it myself (through trial and error), but nevertheless it's a pretty good summary of what to expect.
On the flipside, you also learn a lot by grouping with people (get a microphone so you can talk with them).
Groups also get you leveled much more quickly than soloing, imo.

Lorrik's on your first run? I would keep that quiet from Jill if I were you...
I ran Hound with FK once for a laugh and we wiped so badly! We did it on norm and didn't even get Xyzzy down to below 70 % before the beholders came and wiped us :O
The problem with FK is that when he applies to join he is anonymous, so there's no way of knowing whether it's him or not!
