    Probably either watching TV shows, maybe go play some RL football with friends or play with my gaming friends on either my PS4 or XBOX One

    Scenario - Servers need to go down for an emergency patch/hotfix on your main gaming night, what do you do instead? #PRF #MMORPG #MMO #communitymatters

    1 - Hit the forums to let the devs know how much you love them and appreciate all their hard work ;)
    2 - Spend time with loved ones and enjoy quality human interactions (IRL FTW)
    3 - Figure out a way to end world poverty and hunger while gaming (Pants optional, obviously)
    4 - Other (explain below)

     

    4 - Other 

     

    Pace angrily

    Practice cursing

    Telepathically try to control the shakes

    Check the server screen again

    Mash the keyboard relentlessly

    repeat....

    Option 4. 

    Go to resource sites and research quests, gear, unlocks, etc. Look up sites I've not visited for information on good crafting leveling techniques, locations where rare items can be found, and what kinds of lore has hints of new unexplored avenues, and things I'd never even considered looking up. 

    If the game is deep enough I should be easily able to blow several nights learning out of game.

    This is a hypothetical question because we all know Visionary Realms is a professional outfit and this would never happen!

    I am sure Visionary realms will:

    1. Always thorouly test new content prior to releasing it to the public.

    2. Always patch the game in off hours during a consistant time frame.

    3. Bend over backwards for their paying customers.....

    4. Do backflips on command!

    Option 4 if the patching can be done while toons continue to play in the zone, as mentioned earlier. Else, at least we could continue chatting in the client during the emergency patch and all chat functionality is still 100% functional. Once server is done patching, we would automatically load into the zone.

    Servers going down unexpectedly while being at home and planning to play have always resulted in a very clean house with all my chores done, and a proper giggle at the forums exploding with people who rant and rave. I’m evil like that.

    Play another game and probably check the forums for news at the same time

    Watch TV.

    Play another game.

    Read a book.

    Go to bed early. 

    Etc. Server downtime is an enforced break from the grind. Enjoy it.
