Ok, so it looks like I need to take up some more room so that my stylesheet will render correctly. How retartded. I wonder if MT has been updated to fix that yet?

Oh well, I guess I could find something to chat about for a few paragraphs.

I’ve decided to move my home system back to windows 2000 as it’s main OS. I love linux, but, with the amount of time I plan to spend on gaming in the near future, linux just won’t do. An I really don’t like dual booting.

It’s really too bad. Red Hat 8 is a really good linux distro and I had it setup perfectly. . I’m a gamer at heart and windows just has better games.

Ragnarok. The bane of my free time. This game is the incarnation of wasted time. And I love it. BTW, if anyone reading this is involved in the beta, my name in RO is Mikal. Feel free to whisper me or chat with me. I’m hanging out in the Agros froest right now. Well, I will be at around 5:30 PM EST, anyway.

Which bring sup another thing that’s been driving me crazy in the game. The self-appointed, holier than thou “RO police”. To give alittle background, Gravity doesn’t allow bots in RO (Ragnarokonline). They feel it brings a certain unfairness to the game and they also have security concerns with them. Well there are people in the game that are hell bent on removing every last bot from the game. To the point that innocent people have gotten banned because of these morons. In my eyes, they’re causing mroe of a problem to the game than the bots.

My stance is simple and to the point. It’s not up to users/players to monitor everyone to see if they’re a bot. I believe that gravity should monitor the system and remove the bots.

These “brilliant” players have taken to harassing other players on a constant basis with their “inquiries”. If the player doesn’t respond to them (I’d ignore them, also), they report the player as a bot. I feel this is harrassment. Plain and simple.

I wish they would just wake up and plathe damn game. That’s what we’re supposed to be doing.

Also, if anyone reading this cruises the RO.pak0 forums, my handle there is stareja. I’ve made my point loud and clear in those forums, so feel free to search for my username and see my feelings on the matter..

Outside of that, the only major problem the game faces right now is lag. It’s *really* bad. Gravity is claiming to be on the situation, but I think it may take them a while to get this one done. See, before beta2, the server sould handle about 10k users, while the new beta has problems handling just over 3k users. I hope they get it fixed soon.
