How do you preoccupy yourself when the servers are down?

Lots of cooking and pickling.

Pickling adventures include: pickled onions, green beans, okra, cucumbers, jalapenos, beets, eggs

One of my cooking favorites recently: sweet potato and fennel hash with a bourbon reduction

Also: I play on test server so I don't undergo the same amount of strife as the live server folks

I just switched to test myself , and am enjoying it .

I usually try to copy/save my toons' ui and ini files as although I save regularly, I am constantly making adjustments. And although small adjustments, I don't like trying to figure out what I had changed in the past month or two.

When I used to pay for a subscription, I felt compelled to log in. Now on test, I log in when I want to.

It was one of the reasons I have held back from paying yearly back in the day. (Plus I was in the military and you are not always home so to speak.) To pay now I'd feel I would be losing out on money if I did not spend every waking moment when I had free time playing Everquest. And although there are times that I am feverishly playing it, there are days that go by I may just log in and then right back out again or simply not at all. I was learning Japanese before I got back into EQ. Now my Japanese is suffering, even though it was never great to begin with. ^^!

Ever tried this?



or kimchi?

No EQ? =(

No problem! ^^!
