1. I make an account, try to use it, it won't accept my password
2. I request a password reset.
3. I use password, get into game.
4. I log out, but try to log back in and password doesn't work. I am now locked out.
5. I report this to customer service. The whole problem, start to finish, including creating a second account in order to send them the information in the first place since there's no way to contact customer service w/o already being logged in.
6. I request an answer to what went wrong in the first account, did I use something nonstandard they didn't think of blocking, what? So I know not to do that again when things are fixed.
7. I get a reply telling me 'your new password is xxxxx, have fun in there'.
Question: Why is Customer Service (for this game, and many others) so damn stupid?
Conclusion: Because they don't want Willow's money.
ETA: And, it turns out they changed the password on the wrong account to boot. So the account that was working? They fucked up the password there. The account that wasn't working? Still not working. This is like scenes straight out of the published book How To Turn Willow Off Your Game, Your Gaming Systems, And Your Entire Brand. Hello Sony, you suck.

Things I am learning.
I enjoy the combination of quest-like goals, with mini games. I'm enjoying leveling up as a miner and as a Chef. I like the fact that having fight encounters is something you have to accept in order for it to happen. So there's no free floating anxiety everytime I have to go from one place to the next, over what I'll have to battle on the way. People with anxiety disorders want to enjoy gaming too. And now I can.
( Things I am not enjoying )
So mostly my displeasure is tech stuff. The premise of the game, the bright colours and the world, the mini game system, the auto-garbing - I love all that. I'd thought Puzzle Quest might be my kind of thing, incorporating match 3 to a quest. But it made match3 a contest against a computer foe (various enemies). I didn't enjoy that at all. It shifted match 3 from being an enjoyable, mind quiet game, into something full of tension. So apparently my perfect game involves mini games like cooking or matching and maybe some myst like puzzles, but without the creepiness of empty islands and occasional bloodied instruments.

My lack of luck with games continues. Yet another frigging game I can't log into. I thought maybe this morning that was a one off, when I couldn't even log in after immediately creating my account. But now, can't log in again and I already used the 'send me a new password' thing once. Can't do that again for 24 hours.
And of course, the only way to frigging contact anyone for help, is WHILE YOU ARE LOGGED IN.
Fucking hell. If this doesn't get straightened out soon, to hell with the game. I don't care how much fun I have while logged in. It's not letting me -stay- logged in and it's not letting me log in using my damn username and password and I don't know wtf that's about.
And yeah, there's no way something's getting even a dime from me when I can't be guaranteed to log in properly.

Second life looks creepy. I remain traumatized by hearing about unicorns created through simulated sex with.. I can't even remember. And GaiaOnline is pretty much 17ville (and that's being generous), though I love getting the possibility of an actual brown avatar. And the pets in Neopets don't do anything but demand commercialism satisfaction and that just straight up pisses me off. And the games on Webkinz, unfortunately, didn't suck me in or interest me enough to keep going back.
Meanwhile my littles want a MLP animated gaming/avatar site where one of them can make a nightmare out of a black pony, with flames on the sides and skull earrings.
I'm currently paying money to Shockwave. But so far I think the game I've liked the most has been Cradle of Rome. And if I get the chance to buy it at a discount at some point, I will. I've been trying the other games and so far, no dice. I kind of like the Pharoh's Secret, but I don't like the two white folk poking around with their blah blah and wtf ever they're looking to loot/rob/steal/appropriate. Shockwave just got avatars but the facial features are grouped together in a way that doesn't allow me to get the face and skintone and hair I want. Maybe it's not impossible, but I haven't figured out a way to do it. And it should be easy.
I have no interest in Penquins.
I was kind of enjoying Perfect World for a while - pretty faces, nice music and surroundings and a level of stuff I could manage and handle w/o feeling things were overly violent. But that was only gong to last until level 20 anyway and then it'd be all PvP. And I lost all enthusiasm when the sever stopped accepting my password and I had to contact a mod on the forum everytime I wanted to get in. Which meant long loading times as the patches updated themselves and well - I lost interest. I haven't uninstalled it from my system yet. I keep hoping I'll give it another try or something.
Imeem got annoying. Finetune no longer seems to let me add to existing playlists and it's change some formatting around. And youtube is strictly for clips of cats and listening to new music for me - more so than Pandora (who still frigs me over everytime so I just don't even bother).
Dragonfables lost me when I paused to switch to a new character after feeling a bit bored/overwhelmed and discovered it doesn't matter what your character is, you go through the same damn missions with the same damn information. I wasn't about to go through that again or spend money for more on MechQuest. And their ability to have me make a cute avatar was limited. Not to mention hacking away at suits to earn whatevers just... ugh. More ugh. And then the whole push to spend real money to gain extra content without first hooking me on the content that was free? Nuh uh and double ugh.
AdventureQuest never let me in. A couple of anime oriented MMPORPG's fall into that category too. One locked me out of the game AND the frigging forums so I couldn't contact anyone. I said goodbye to the parent company and all their games for that.
I feel like the figging Princess & the Pea (there's a pun of sorts in that sentence).
DeviantArt doesn't save my favourites so I end up using the browser bookmarks - I've no idea why it stalls. And I'm not an artist so there's not much to do there than look at pictures. And sometimes, I don't want to -just- look at pictures.
*sighs*
Dollmaking just to make dolls? Also boring.
...
Yeah... me and my forty something featherbeds. Gonna go lie and deal with the poking now.

I lost the first paragraphs of this last night. The draft didn't save. And today has been fucktastically sucky, emotional, stressful.... I don't know if it's hormones, fear of my health, depression, some new form of mental craziness or what. But I want to write down this damn thought I had about D&D so by george and gum I'm gonna.
Dungeons & Dragons is a language, I think. But no one else seems to see it that way. I stare at the stat numbers in the character sheets and all the feats described, and power levels and I read about encounters and loot and magic items and all I end up thinking is: Where is the effing story??!
At some point in my mild frustration (since I am trying to take it easy) it occurred to me that the story information I want to read is all there, it's just is code. I want to read something like
Party members tend to bind themselves together for common purpose, whether that be monetary or heroic and a good group consists of members who balance each other out and offer good possibilities for dealing with situations. Traditional groupings are.... And instead I get stuff about strikers and leaders and controllers - which makes me think about soccer and baseball, which again, is something of a hobby with a code. ( Cause let me not bore every body. )

Apparently on the 7th (or is the the 8th?) day when I rest - I end up buying stuff. In this case a three month membership in Shockwave. Yeah, I'm not taking the 10 day 'free trial' all that seriously.
However, I think I get a 3 day guest pass. ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/openid-profile.gif) zvi-likes-tv.livejournal.com you interested?'
ETA: Hee! They have a 'Top Chef' game. I won't play it, but I giggle at it.
PPS: Unrelated (Yes I'm up late, calming down takes time + I'm scared to miss the swearing in) I'm finally uninstalling LiquidBinder (the giveawayaday version) because I never use it Everytime I open it up I have to deal with a learning curve that distracts me from what I'm trying to write. It's just taking up space on my hd and I want that space for lots and lots of versions of match3. I write this here because I want documentation that I reached calm about it.

So peeps,
DigitalFemme mentioned Steampowered in her 1000th post celebration. Does anyone reading have experience with buying games online and downloading them?
A quick search online found some issues with payments (but in other countries other than the US) and some random update problems and some criticisms as to how the business is run. I'm still wary, however, since this involves putting their software on my computer and part of the criticims have to do with collecting information and sharing it and loops in their privacy policies.
Anyone with info to share?
I'm currently fascinated by PuzzleQuest since it involves the 3match games I like (just learned the term for it last night) AND a little bit of possible RPG/adventuring.
ETA: Possible never mind there. 3match isn't as soothing when the computer's moving things around and fighting back.

If I could just adjust my schedule a little bit more so I go to bed say around 1am and wake up around 9am, I could be happy. As it is I'm crashing before 8pm and waking up at 4 and 5 in them morning. 6:30 today.
I'm about to uninstall Wizard101. I kind of don't want to since it looks like the type of game that could be popular and it's got magic and a whole host of other things. But the reality is, by the time it logs on, and I've re-adjusted my settings (every time), I no longer want to play. And when I do play, it's only ever for 15-20 mins at a time - NEVER longer than that. It just can't hold my interest for longer. I filled out a survey for it yesterday (or Friday) and it was described then as a card collection game. Maybe I should have realized that and would have if I followed card collecting games. But I don't. So I had no clue that it was anything particularly different than having to use magic spells represented by symbols.
And I suppose the truth of it is that I want to like it and feel guilty I don't since it is geared towards kids. But I'm now debating whether to wait for the international server of Perfect World or not, and looking/hoping I get a reply to recover my account, because PW does more for me than anything else. I can happily do a round of killing things, hunting for things in PW and play for an hour. An hour a day vs the 20 mins every couple of days with Wizard 101.
It's just so odd how reluctant I am to uninstall - I think because I haven't had a game I enjoyed / could go relax in for so long. It makes it harder to face the fact that this one is NOT the one.
![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) fickle pointed me a Ikariam, Zeta Server (for the US) but it looks like a civilization game; a type I love. But when civilization games involve other people, there is so often war and raids and navel battled and conquest. I'm not sure if I would enjoy it. I got fed up with the hippos and crocodiles eating people in Pharoah. And I loathed the invations - I never quite got over my first one; there I was building a civilization and the next minute this boat arrives, I've no control over it and little people come running out to burn and loot and pillage.
That said I did oddly enough enjoy Settlers: Rise of an Empire, even with the raiding. But that game's just too expensive right now, or I'd buy it. I don't know why I enjoyed it so much, maybe it was the possibility of a range of cultures, or that it seemed part of a narrative to accomplish the quests, or the fact that if one has the full game (vs just the demo) you can be a female knight making her way up to Baroness and more.
Huh, it doesn't seem to be greatly loved on Amazon. Hmm, 14$ including shipping from an Amazon Merchant. Ok, now I seriously need to think about this. It's a pity Guild Wars doesn't come close on the price - even used it's expensive (cause people jack up the S&H to 7$) and near the same as new. I've been told if I liked the beauty of PW, I'd enjoy GW plus it has narrative.
Random Thought: Remember in my last post I discussed just liking knowing that others were playing the same game and we were moving around the same server and occasionally interacting? Well part of the reason it makes no sense to me to 'want more' out of things is that games with plot points and plot goals usually involve a protagonist being 'The Long Awaited One' or 'Only You Can Save The World'. Except it's not only you, there's a bunch of others running around and often-times one of them is only too eager to stick a sword in your belly and steal your loot. So how immersed can you really be in a game that's not playing up for laughs that there's a group of seers somewhere all giving out random names and enjoying some sort of kickback?

So apparently Perfect World is going International and the US server will either be up Aug 5th or thereabouts or the closed/open beta for the US servers will be up around that time.
I've been trying for an hour to register a new account in the Thai-English section of Cubizone, because I've admitted that PW was the game I've enjoyed the most since hunting around for an online rpg/mmorpg. I liked the music. I liked the customizing of characters. I loved the design and scenery of the game. And I put up with some monotony in game play because it was just that beautiful and made me feel as if I was in another world. I used to log in sometimes just to walk around the environment - or fly around.
Now I'm debating, if someone does get back to me (went to the forums to pm a moderator there since it's been months without anyone getting back to me about helping me log into my account) and I can access my old account and thus continue to use my old characters - if I'll keep them there where they are and create a new account that's just for the US server.
I don't know enough about online gaming to know what my options might be or if my thoughts are even clear or what.
But I do miss the game though, even though I still cringe at the thought that at level 26, idiots would start bothering me.
I saw something the other day, ok more like the other month where on a board people were complaining that if someone didn't like interacting with other people then why the hell were they on a MMORPG. And then some other folks on the board broke it down and I finally felt like I saw myself reflected in another gamer.
They talked about how for some people, they want more than NPC's. And they love knowing that they're sharing time with many other people who might be anywhere in the world, and they are all playing the same game at the same time. It's knowing that there's a mind behind the characters milling around you. Not everyone is going to want to team up to kill bigger creatures and get more loot and level up. Some people actually like the RP aspect of gaming and enjoy it passively.
And I guess that's me.

So I found my Perfect World password and account name.
I go to use it.
I get told it's wrong. AND that my password has now been changed for security purposes. So I'm guessing there's been a lot of stealing or something.
But oh yeah. If my registered email is a yahoo email, I have to go to the Thai forums and find a moderator. Because I will not receive and email.
I don't speak Thai. I have no idea who on the Thai forums are GM's. The english forums don't seem to have anyone associated with the game who -should- be given my account info.
WTF do I do now?
And seriously, if the solution is to create a whole new account and then have to re-create my characters from scratch AND then have to get them all back to their original level?
Well fuck them. Seriously.
Pretty or no fucking pretty.

I think I'm going to log in and play a bit tonight or tomorrow. And I definitely want to create another character - characters are FUN :) I want a nice sparkly Elf magician. Female. Who resembles my fav x-man character :) Oh yes I do.
I don't think I care -too- much about not being the target market for stuff anymore. At some point someone will figure out; pretty game, over arching storyline, and a mode/option for players who don't want to go smashing each other and stealing loot. I actually want to, y'know, fantasize about the politics and blah blah blah. I want to role play in the land of the pretty.
I mean half of my major fun with the game was thinking up backstories for the characters I was creating.
Gessy the son of an armorer & a magician, both male.
Illydia, a librarian archer.
Sasha and Shauna, the twins...
Huh, maybe Perfect World's gift to me is character creation for fic. Cause damn if I don't see a story possibility right this bloody second.
*goes to scribble*

Seriously Stargate Worlds?
Seriously?

You're pretty and all. But between this, the privacy policy and the fact I get bored so easily with even the prettiest game* - do I really want to sign up for Beta? I'm unsure. I'm leaning towards no.
* The Boredom - I've discovered I need the ability to explore AND a story to move things along, so I can flip back and forth depending on mood. I haven't been to perfect world in weeks. Killing things is boring. Also that switching characters should lead to completely new and different storylines, not the same thing over and over again - kill this, get that, go there, kill this, get that, go there. Because I get bored and go find a book to read.

So I said I'd show my Wesley + Gunn PW love child, yes?
( Click here )
And playing around in my determination to get someone blue I failed totally to create the love child of Smax and Mystique and somehow ended up with the Bishie I'd been wanting.
( Click here too )
If it's true that feeds don't get cuts etc, I am truly sorry. But I rarely post pictures or embed anything and these are all saved as gifs. And should also be the last of it.
Ok. Going to bed now.
Oooh. I could make icons of them! Next project.

Some thoughts:
Celestian Seasonings? Who told you to change the make up of your Raspberry Zinger Herbal Tea? I opened the new designed box and things smelt different. But since I'm < - comment censored for gratuitious tmi - > I figured I was smelling wrong. I wasn't. The tea doesn't brew as red, still smells different and tastes different.
WTF?
- - -
randominity had a post about her and her bf and education on racial issues. And I just want to make it clear, since I've learned it wasn't, that while yes, I'm fed up with doing Racism 101 for STRANGERS, people I actually befriend in the friend/warm/personal circle definition of the word, who care about me as a person and a personality? Y'all get free tutoring.
- - -
Perfect World - Sashawna's twin, Sashauna is now up to level 7. Illydia's been up to Lvl 5 since the first day ( and may have just turned lvl 6). Oh, and I'll put up a screencap at some point of Gunn & Wesley's lovechild - Gessy.
But making new faces aside and the lovely, incredibly beautiful worldscape / landscape and as beautiful music (and how much do I appreciate the lack of dramatic battle music to set me all overly tense and taking things too personal/1st person) - I think I'm getting bored.
It seems to all be the same exact quests no matter the race/starting point, just in different scenery. And as I've yet to properly figure out crafting (lost Sashauna's Blacksmithing certificate somehow) I've yet to see how pursuing crafting gives one a different adventure.
Which is not to say there're not things I want to do, there are. I want a Werefox who tames an Undine, maybe several. I'm a mer myth fan girl like that. I also want my own deer/stag/antelope steed. Cause effing A, man. And I think it's possible for non winged persons to buy (earn?)elf wings and that's 'Sweet as Georgia Pierotica'.
But following what are basically the same steps to get ahead seems boring to me, what impetus is there when one finishes with one character to start all over again with another? Or to not stay with your highest and or current fav - other than switching around for the scenery?
But I'm not saying these things or asking these questions to put people off the game. I'd pay a reasonable price just for the facial and body design capabilities and the chance to take screen caps. My thing is, I think there's something lacking in me as a gamer.
( Blah blah more here - Includes Fresh Smelling Misanthropy & The Taser Against Stupidity! )
In other news: last night in a fit of small burst energy I put together something in the slow cooker so I wouldn't have to worry about food today, given the extreme body pain yesterday. Seems a good idea since come today I feel like some sort of addict in withdrawal. And yes I've taken caffiene and my meds. But my head sort of aches behind my eyes and along my nose and the base of my neck hurts/is sore and tense and my cranium hurts and even the thought of going back to bed and sleeping more doesn't fill me with enthusiasm.
But as I was saying - attempted cookery and how it went wrong. Didn't put in enough water, so I made some sort of...goop. And I made it with canned salmon. It's not bad tasting goop actually. And if I add water to it, it might come out like the soup it was intended to be. The problem is that my body's decided that fish is ucky today. So I have this big arse slow cooker bowl full of food the very thought and smell of which, bring treble the pounding of my skull nd squeezing of my ropey colon.
I have now roasted some very bland chicken.

No one's called to say my mother's left the country. I begin to feel hoodwinked. I called her two days in a row to see how she was doing / if she'd made her flight etc.
I'm currently in the middle of a flare. It's dawned on me that's why even making toast has seemed so difficult and why I wake up with the covers strewn everywhere and it feels exhausting to disentangle myself and throw them off.
Wrists, shoulders, neck, back/spine, jaw, knees, hips, ankles.
I can feel the time to find a new apt counting down in my head. I can feel myself struggling not to panic or get angry at myself because I know I can motivate myself. If I currently can't even think about leaving the house when it's this important - it can only be fore pain.
I don't know why it's so hard o admit that pain slows me down.
My best friend, I have no word proper for it, is currently in shock/crisis. She's being too hard on herself in how she relates to her schoolwork. She's not accepting grief can mess with the mind - or at least not accepting when it comes to her classes.
Woke up to see a stream of thoughts from her wherein while I was asleep, she hit a dark place.
No one ever came to paint the whole in the ceiling on Friday.
Ow.
ETA: Beloved Friend pointed this out to me last night. She remembered my littles. Most people hardly remember my littles. Looking at the site right now, I'm so sad I can't so something as simple to comfort her.

I have never done the online gaming thing, and I went through the tutorial for FF8 like 3 times. Geeze I'm so lost just trying to figure out how to get rid of the damn chat window in Perfect World.
Why does that exist anyway - as open automatically at least. It's distracting and uneccessary.

Uhm randominity
So 1) what's your promoter ID for Perfect World?
More important 2) WTF is up with asking for an ID card #? What? WTF? What? Clearly I have no idea how to treat this. Never mind I figured something out
I'd like to reach the point where I see if it's pretty enough and if I can handle y'know, the wandering around slashing things. Cause if so then Guild Wars may be in my future.
Guild Wars doesn't ask you for your passport/id #, right?
Also I ponder if it's too late after registering to input you for promoter deals.

ifinst27.exe was the effing Uninstall???????????
And now the extra spyware stuff I put on my computer last night, won't let it reinstall (so I could even uninstall it -wtf?)
I'm cranky. I'm cranky for a whole lot of reasons. I'm cranky cause it looks as if that above mentioned exe file was the uninstall for SEAL ONLINE. I'm cranky because I'm having to reinstall the game in order to have uninstall capabilities and take the damn thing off. I'm cranky because I want to uninstall the game, because there is a minimum of technical support - I couldn't even use their contact us text field - it wouldn't send - I had to email to find out what the heck the suspicious file was and not one ever got back to me. And there's no mention in their guide to installation that this is the uninstall file, it loads separately onto the C drive, blah blah blah. I'm cranky because I enjoy the option of having the game windowed. I like the bright colours. I like the fighting motion and how the text fields are framed for interaction with NPCs. I like the music. I like the concept of crafting, even if I really don't understand it and just wanted to name the character Harley - cause BIG ASS MALLET. But I'm crankyh because I can't make anyone brown. It's a game of preset hair combinations and that's it. No change in skin colour or eye colour. Even Fairyland let me make a brown elf (and a brown human and a brown dwarf!) Looking for information on various MMORPG forums I stumbled across someone asking if one particular game (I forget which) let you shade character's brown. If it didn't this person wasn't interested in playing. And there were several replies about how racist that was and how he should be all about the game and not bring that stuff into their fun place. And I found myself thinking - nah, that's honest. After being surrounded by white people all the live long day, if you want to have a brown character to play with why not? It made me think about the hue and cry that would come out if a really cool game was released and all the default templates for characters were brown or darker brown, or dark as night black. But you could buy some pale pigmentation and blonde hair at the cash shop. Oh wouldn't there be fretting and cries of racism, reverse racism, all sorts o shit. So I'm admitting now that I like being able to play brown characters. Truthfully I like playing mutts like myself - as in when you go past bi-racial cause your parents were bi-racial and their parents etc, you're a mutt. You're multi-racial, you're mixed. I've got straight haired, green eyed cousins, I've got aunts with buttery pale skin. I've got relatives that look like the head maintence guy in this 'apt of lies' - he's got light brown-golden skin and green eyes. Anyway, SEAL ONLINE, all chubby faced white kids roaming around. 4:01pm (Reinstall was successful. Uninstall was successful) So now to ponder if I want to reinstall at all. I like the thought of evil bunny bad guys and I like the bright colours. I just... I want not to feel so claustrophobic when I play a game though. I don't know if it'd have mattered to me -as much- in the past. But boy does it matter now. PS: I tried to uninstall first time 'round because there was an error that wasn't letting the game launch. 4:11pm:  They call it a REGGAE HAIRSTYLE. Oh HELLS no that shit's getting permanently taken off my computer. Not only is it wrong to call it Reggae and not dreads or locks,but on a purely white face? As a fucking TREND OF FASHION?!!! Fuck you Seal Online. Fuck. You. 4:!8pm And on closer inspection of the pic itself. I can see braids. Oh us crazy whacky black people with the things in our hair. More buggering up the ass with a scissors SEAL ONLINE. All for you.

Downloaded Seal Online.
Suddenly there was ifinst27.exe on my computer. In the C drive no less when Seal was loaded to run on D.
So now the question is, do I date see if I can connect to this game or do I give up early the search for something to help me destress. Because seriously malware and possibly trojan alerts are not de-stressful. Oh no, they are the opposite of no stress. (90mins give or take of running scans and other tech things)
(Do I try Seal and Elf Online?)
___
I have noted that the creatures in Fairyland are almost too cute to be hacked at just for points n'stuff. It's disturbing.

Forgot to mention that Asda Story has disappeared off the net. The website brings up a white page saying 'Serivce Unavailable'
Earlier today I stumbled across a tibit on an mmorpg forum site that claimed the game blocked all ISP that were NOT from Asia.
*sighs, picks self up, dusts self off, goes surfing along looking for other things*
I may make a list of all the stuff I've said no to just for wtfness.
On the other hand all this reading and research takes my mind off the apt of lies for a bit as well as helping me figure out what I do like and do want.
Example: I DO NOT enjoy Player killing Players (arsewipes who kill a little girl's baby chicks)

Tried to load ASDA and my screen froze. So I hard rebooted. Then my keyboard wouldn't work. Rebooted again, keyboard still wouldn't work. Now have keyboard plugged into a front usb plug vs the usual spot in the back. But I have no idea why it's working or why it wasn't working.
Things ache just from the shocking anxiety of it all.
More: Did I mention signing up for an account with their account people (gameengame) took the longest time? And when I rebooted and came back I had to sign up all over again and I'm still waiting and it's still taking forever....
Even more: And the gamengame site's the one that's giving me problems to sign up - becoming problems with the browser?
1:17pm - running a little late now, but after shennaegains to get a fricking account on gamengame, once again I didn't even get to see if it worked on Asda as loading the game got me to a white screen (with logo) and little else. Gonna research when I get home. But I'm beginning to think the cute stuff I like just doesn't bloody work. I'm looking at you Mabogini.

I want to download Asda Story.
In order to do so it seems like I have to join MMOSITE. Does anyone know anything about MMOSITE? Has anyone else joined?
randomosity if you ever download to play Asda Story - do you think you'd have a char who'd want to be my SoulMate?
Well, it's all over the site and it's your fault for making the games seem interesting in the first place and verving me up to try again.
Also I think I like GamenGame's other stuff too. I'm even intrigued by their soccer game!
*pokes around the net some more*
ETA: Looking at videos on Youtube right now. When even their dark and scary looks bright and colourful and makes me giggle like a 5 yr old too full of ice cream - it makes me want to play.

Dear Nexon / Mabinogi
If I can't access your effing forums in order to tell you about how I can't access your effing game - then how the fuck am I suppose to contact an effing moderator to explain the situation when they're only available through forum contact?
This is why I'm not a gamer.
I've loaded this shite onto my computer twice already now. And I'm fully prepared to delete/uninstall and tell it to go eat Dubya's ass crust and look at something else that isn't an exercise in effing futility.
Cripes.
Shit man, maybe I should just buy myself colouring books of fantasy characters. It'd more more entertaining and less frustrating.
ETA: I'm grr-ed and vindictive enough to want to find another game, spend money on it and send a copy of the reciept to the makers of mabinogi along with a note that says 'Your customer service sucks, bite my flat hiney'

Finally got a beta key for http://mabinogi.nexon.net/.
There's only one day left of the closed beta test, but what the hey. I really look foward to seeing if this game is the thing'll help me stay calm in my insuing 'mess of life'.
Password Error.
Password Error.
Password Error.
I've actually changed my password (though I was already logged into the site) and still - Password Error.
Somewhere nearby is a modern Job and a droplet of their pain and suffering has fallen onto me lending me 18 months + of arrrrrgh. And y'know what?
I ain't no Job.
Dear Higher Power,
WTF?
No seriously. W. T. F?
Easy distractions aren't even allowed?
ETA: Dear Higher Power, the Milo Zvi's Mom got me for Xmas is the good stuff. The kind that comes in a tin can that seals tight, and is powdery and chocolate goodness enough to eat dry on a spoon. Thank you. All is accepted. Thy will be done. *drinks chocolate milk*

You made me feel better.
Yay non tension/axiety games of pretty.

The Littles no longer like DOFUS. Sure it seemed interesting and all. But we've not even gotten off the damn intro island yet and already we've run into idiots.
You're supposed to become accustomed to the system; fights and magic and spells etc. I did ok in the first part. And then I was suddenly in a place with other people.
Whoa says I (well we at that point - my littles are now ranting about idiot boys who need to be disemboweled slowly while being branded with hot irons - have I ever mentioned it's my littlest selves who're the most vengeance seeking and violent? They also curse like sailors; 10 yr old sailors who've seen the world.)
So this other people thing seems odd, but likely open to possibilities. Until I start hovering my mouse over them and seeing names like ScarierTu. And Punkgrrl. Etc. For y'know, characters in a fantasy setting. There I am with my sweet little, "I'm actually a writer and thought of a probable name for this setting" and there are people all VadersTruSn.
But I (we, the littles then in charge) shrug off the names, cause hey, names can be odd and people can get confused between the Systems: Account Name, NickName, Character Name.
So we end up in a large general area and the guide says that you should try and level up and get a feel for things and also earn points for a permanent fluffy companion creature vs ones you summon to help you battle bad guys. Said bad guys at the moment are evil little sheep (fluffy) and spiders and roaming evil looking eyeballs (or something).
Now comes the part where I realize that those idiotic names were a sign that I'm both too old and too young for this shit.
( There is nothing more upsetting to a 7 yr old girl, than an idiot boy who kicks to death her fluffy companion creature. )

Oh great. I have City of Heroes kinda somehow on my computer. And NCsoft Corporation has my personally identifying information - cause I spent an hour talking myself into going ahead and giving said information. And now I don't have a serial code for said game.
Note to self, if people want personally identifying information and I haven't yet figured out how they work/if I like them/if they're a service I even really want - they can bite my flat arse.
14 day free tail Queen Hera's left tit.
*goes to delete*
Oh great, just effing dandy - the master account has no easy instructions on how to f*cking delete it.
ETA2: Y'know when I read in the user agreement that you agree you do not OWN the master account, I never considered that meant I have no right or control over deleting it. Fuck that shite for a lark. I've changed what I could (since last night actually) but there's still my surname on that shit. Yeah, so starts and ENDS my exploration of MMORPG's. They can go suck Dubya's cock. And from now on, I won't immediately think my trepidation about stuff like this is all fear of the unknown and me feeling discomforted by something I don't know. This shit is SKEEZY.
