Fellow Ranger Friends...

[brandi7920]

<DIV>I'm just curious to see how many of you..like me..are at work everyday surfing the Ranger forums, getting your fix, as you wait to get home so you can get back to killing big bad uglies?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm so glad I found that I have access to the Ranger forums from work (silly firewalls :smileytongue:  ). I have learned so much from all of you...and continue to learn more daily.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>/ranger_forum_hug</DIV>

[Aenashi]

<DIV>i got a 3 monitor set up at my desk..i got 11 different forums browsering all day long lol.  waiting for something to break</DIV>

[brandi7920]

omg LOL...hmmm...

[Jay]

<P>Awww, how sweet are you?</P> <P>Anyway... /meekly_raises_hand</P> <P>Guilty as charged. I'm not keeping up like I used to (we're busier here at work) but today for some reason I just can't motivate myself and my mind keeps wandering. So I goof off with you guys instead of producing my usual highly compelling software documentation. <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

[TaleraRis]

Well I've been off work since the 16th of November due to spinal cord surgery, but when I was at work I did indeed browse there and plan out what I wanted to do that night.  Didn't always include my ranger though, cause I have alt-and-tradeskill-itis <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

[Gareorn]

<DIV>I'm too busy at work to even think of doing something non-work related.  I usually browse the forums for about an hour after I come home while the news is on tv, then play eq for a couple of hours.  I don't play everyday, but usually about four times a week (including weekends).  Just too many other things that have to get done around the house.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>EQ1 was different for me.  For several years, I played that game every waking moment.  To this day, I still like EQ1 the most.  It's just that my server has become a ghost town, even after the server mergers.</DIV>

[King Leor]

<P>Work? whats work? lol. I have to go back to work in february :0( I've been on paternity leave since september, so for me, I get paid $510 a week to play EQ, yay. And look after the baby of course.....lol. *Ponders* Now where did I last leave him????</P> <P>Leoric<BR>Level 60 ranger</P>

[xandez]

<DIV>Erm... /raises hand.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I mainly harass you when im at work, very rarely at home (too busy playing i guess or if not that, then doing some other stuff... ) </DIV> <DIV>Eeek, RL? [Removed for Content] is that? <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>++Xan</DIV>

[Dasanhgul]

<P>/raise_hand</P> <P>At work too, browsing about 3 or 4 different forums (all EQ2 Ranger related). Makes the day go faster when there aint much to do (LAN Admin).</P>

[Sollum]

Yep. Me too. I peruse the forums, look at info on quests etc, check guild forums - all from work at quiet times.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> 

[Teksun]

If it weren't for work, I'd never get to see the forums <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

[Cron]

/raises hand.  Peruse the forums all day long depending on my work load.<div></div>

[brandi7920]

<P>As I sit here at work.. (lol).. I have the biggest grin on my face! I browse the Ranger forum and guild forum everyday at work during slow/break times. It's nice to know I'm not the only one sneaking in my EQ2 fix while at work. :smileyvery-happy:</P> <P>You guys are great!</P>

[Star]

<P>I drive my boss bonkers on these forums at work. :smileyvery-happy:</P> <P>He hates them but I get my job done, well, so he lets it slide.</P>

[Berek_IronAxe]

<P>/Raises hand</P> <P>2-3 Forums on all day at work.  Occasionally chatting with my guildies.</P> <P>Not much at home-too busy running across Norrath searching for the next quest to work on, the next chest drop or just firing a storm of arrows into a mob to help that poor toon running away from a mob that got the better of them.</P>

[Deml]

I check these forums, thescoutssanctuary.com and my guild forums on breaks and lunch daily from work.

[Meerosh]

<P>/raises his hand meekly</P> <P> </P> <P>Yup I be one as well.  Here I sit now and cruising through the forums.  I'm on here everyday that I'm at work and when I'm home I'm ususally playing or de-aggroing the other half.  Wish my partner was a gamer.  Sigh.  Oh well someone has to do the laundry.  LOL</P> <P> </P> <P>Taal</P>

[coltla]

Uh.....no.....never.Infact, I'm at home now!*muttering* That's the ticket */muttering*I'm sitting at home not playing the game....and...uH.....Is this a trick question?

[GrayStorm]

<DIV>Guilty as charged.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Like others have reported, it just depends on how busy I am at work.   I've learned that when it's time to estimate how long it will take me to complete a project, I usually consider how long it will actually take me, and then at least triple that number.  That gives me plenty of slack to get my work done and still surf the boards.  I can't tell you how many times I've told my boss that it will take me a few days to make a software change, which in fact took 15 minutes.  muah ahhaha hahah ahaha.</DIV>

[Stormhawk]

I can top all of you, I *play* EQ2 at work. It doesn't matter that I've been there for 12+ hours and my boss plays Quake while I am playing EQ.  I still do it! <div></div>

[joshmiller]

Yeah me too! <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If it wasnt for work I wouldnt have seen these forums!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Jayshua</DIV> <DIV>24 Ranger</DIV> <DIV>Neriak</DIV>

[Saracyn]

Oh, I wish I had time to browse forums at work.  :smileysad:  I only get to check out the info here during server downtimes in the morning, because any other time I would have to browse is taken up by plucking many mobs with many arrows and making them die!

[Jay]

I really need a mental health day after this week's release... for some reason playing EQ at home during the day is especially satisfying, and coordinating those days off with my honey makes them even better. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Blackin_DeMast]

I'm so right there with Meerosh.  Application Analyst here and I just have to make sure my app stays up and running so most the time I am on the Forums.  My main is a level 50 ranger but I ahve an assassin alt so I bounce between the two boards.  I play as much as i can wehn i get home, but most the time I still spend with the wife and kids.

[Quillian Feetfa]

Browsing the Ranger forums at lunch time (or any other time that I get a few minutes) is my 2nd favorite pastime (Playing EQ2 is my first one, in case you're wondering.) <BLOCKQUOTE> <P></P> <HR> Jay42 wrote:<BR> <P>Guilty as charged.

I wish I had known then I wouldn't have bothered!   Someone with talent could have done it.   <span>:smileysad:</span> Ah well, I'm sure your FAQ will be more indepth than the silly thing I posted.   Was just tired of the "arrow type" question really.   <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span> </span><div></div>

[xandez]

Hey Vimy, your FAQ was not silly at all, it was very nice! I posted some comments regarding it, but they are mostly just personal opinions than any _facts_. Good work anyway! <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span> ++Xan <div></div>

[Jay]

<DIV>Hahaha, yeah Vimy, I had to laugh at the timing. If it's okay with you, I'll probably incorporate some of the info you posted into mine... but like I said, this is a ways off. I just don't have time to do too much extracurricular ranger work for the next month or two. But I think yours is great, and applaud the effort and the contribution. Thanks much.  </DIV>

[GrayStorm]

but but...    who's gonna teach the peeps who bought their ranger off of Ebay how to play their class?????

[KnightOfTheWo]

I too like to surf the forums at work to get my little Ranger (or other) forum fix...but like some others work has been insanely busy so that usually reigns me in quite a bit. <span>:smileyhappy:</span> Anyway, best of luck to all, and good hunting! <div></div>

[Pnaxx]

<DIV>Well, I was a Zerker a while back...got to 40 something as well as some alts....but I can really relate here. I had to take a break so I could get some balance back in my life. Now it appears I may be returning beginning of 06 and very well play a Ranger...*looks around*....*says in whispered tones*...."i understand your pretty good solers.":smileytongue:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I like your community too.</DIV>
