Tell me what your character would do with this forced downtime! Sleep? Drink? play with their minons?? I'll try to draw some of them before I fall asleep.
Lalafell punting
My sides! Ow, ow, ow! I just fell out my chair laughing at the image of a Roe punting Lalafells and Miqo'te as the goalkeeper.

 Kira would just continue her patrols between Ul'dah and Gridania. She's kinda boring. Tongue

Sounds like the perfect thing to draw! Big Grin

Please tell me you'll be here all week!

On a side note: Penny would be reading in her inn room or practicing her magic. She's boring when she's alone.

I'm with Kira on this one.  As soon as I can snag my chocobo I'll put him in Behemoth armor and commence being gallant and saving all the ppl!

But during down time... maybe Brave would be smithing...

I think my guy might slowly descend into insanity if he has to be alone for too long. Tongue I guess you have to be a little crazy to punt Lalafell as a hobby.

In my head, this sort of situation would be akeen to being trapped in a bedroom and told periodically that the door will eventually unlock if you keep trying. So I think he'd just pace around every now and then to find something that can keep his attention while he waits. Doing things like flipping through books he has no interest in, lying on the bed and tossing a ball in the air repeatedly, staring out the window, and falling asleep.

So this just popped into my head during a Twitter conversation.  Poor Square.  This totally sums up the situation.

Who do I have to call to complain about this boneheadedness? Really, now...

In hindsight it is easy to make such a call, but during the decision all Square had was the numbers from 1.0 plus their expected growth with 2.0. Since business don't employ Miss Cleo, they really only had two possible options, too few or too many servers, each with their own list of problems. 

Either way they had to choose between two wrong choices, and then adjust as they find out the real numbers. 

As for what my characters would be doing :

Tomas would be talking a break under some shade out in Thanalan, after doing some mining.

Iitryo would be reading in his room,

Okay sorry these are going to be super sketchy since I'm sort of loopy from medication (been feeling sicky)

but i'll start off with Tim'a! Who would... probably spend his down time laying by the water trying to nap (but having a terrible time of it because no doubt the beach is full of people!)

 Considering where he was last U'zhan would probably be spending the day fishing and being a little bored.

I think... I might go work on some art myself in the mean time. But first a nap perhaps. Wink 

That aside, would be nice if an afk-kicker is implemented like for 15mins+ I forgot my game during beta for half an hour or so and I realized I was still logged in after that. I think, from what someone told me they still have people logged in for hours concerned they can't get back in.

RE: Maintenance Rage Thread - Chance - 08-25-2013

I think I should go into Cryogenic sleep for like 3 days and hope everything is fixed then lol.

Oh Chance would be eating at the Bismarck at a private table with a reserved seat for his fat bags of gil.
