The Low: 3 weeks later, he dusts them
The Low: He gets it jailed
Low: You come back to your hose to see 2 Hawaiians having sum "fun" on your bed
The Low: You're too broke to buy any gear.
The Low: Some schmuck undercuts you with 99s minimum bid and 1G buy-out.
What's with the minimum bid affecting the ordering of items when sorting by buy-out? If I posted for 1G first, I want mine listed first...
The High: You join Elitists
The Low: You make no heroism because NOBODY WILL FIGHT in wars
The High: You and your wife have your first child, a beautiful baby girl.
The Low: She has your best friend's ears.
The Re-High: Your wife is your best friend.
The High: Just as you need to leave for school Garugg appears! You hurry and kill him as fast as possible, knowing it won't be TOO bad if you are only a few minutes late. Success, orange bag! You hurry off to class.
The Low: After five hours of classes, you find that, in your haste, you forgot to open the bag and it has expired. Unopened bags expire in four hours .
The High: You start HoP, use Bag of Significant Spoils, use Eye of the Earth Dragon, use Eye of the Death Dragon, use two mount scrolls, use Spell of Immunity, use Insignia of Eldior's Blessing, strip your dragon, and settle down to your first fight of a long series, dropping mobs two-by-two.
The Low: On the first fight you lose your Internet connection.
The Lower: It doesn't come back for over two hours, no matter how many times you unplug and plug back in the modem.
The Lowerer: When you finally get back, you broke your belt when you lost that first fight.
The Lowest: You had spent the last of your gold on preparation for HoP.
The Lowester: You are broke, broken, and beltless. You cry yourself to sleep curled up on your sofa, alone in the dark.
Pfffttt
The High: You lag out and you think it's an internet problem.
The Low: You spend hours trying to fix your router and update your modem.
The Lower: You realize the whole game is having same problem (authentication error)
The Lowerer: You go forums and see everyone trashing admins, so you join them.
The Lowerer-er: Ihit just apologizes, 2 DAYS later.
The Lowest: Everyone complains about not getting compensation and it finally sinks into their heads.
The Lowestest: Ihit finally gets it, and says we will get compensation in a few days.
The Lowestest-est: Few days later, we get nothing, Ihit deletes the forum posts, and he ignores every PM he gets from mad people wanting compensation for this bullshit
The Lowestest-est-er: People end up losing hop, and broken gear, and eyes, and money and buffs, and mount etc. And get extremely mad they keep making forum posts complaining
The Lowestest-est-er-er: The admins make the stupidest update ever, and add stupid shit as if it was compensation, and all of it is for high levels.
The Lowestest-est-er-er-er: We're all fucked out of alot of gold, buffs,mounts etc. because the admins are too lazy to give us compensation
I sense a little resentment.
