Backup plan
November 11th is a public holiday here in Belgium. So I took the Friday off, for a four-day weekend of playing Everquest 2. But on the 11th between noon and 4 pm all EQ2 servers were down for a patch. Same again on the 12th. Now it is past 5 pm, and the Runnyeye server, and a bunch of others are still down.
The good news is that the WoW open beta is running a lot smoother than that. My Tauren Shaman is level 21 now. Isn't it great to have a backup plan? Especially when the server problems are so predictable like the ones of EQ2. I still like Everquest 2, but I can't help but notice how much everything changed in just 1 week since the beta, and it would have been a miracle if that wouldn't have caused any problems.
