No, the other phone companies fail pretty hard for not being there, wherever "there" happens to be. As for AT&T, they just fail hard. Period.

Anyway, my point was...

Wait, did I have a point?
Well, you're right, Shane. (EDIT: I can't believe I said that...) Dial-up is basically worthless nowadays. As for the "only telecom company" problem you have, I'd say.. Move away from that evil place! Get out of there, before you get dragged into that black hole! Wait, what? Anyway.. Yeah.. No..

As for the "only telecom company" problem you have, I'd say.. Move away from that evil place! Get out of there, before you get dragged into that black hole! Wait, what? Anyway.. Yeah.. No.. *shuts up* *plop* I'm often right, people just hate to surrender to that fact, but I do enjoy being proven wrong. I can't move away from this evil place. Considering everything; I'm sixteen, I can't get a job yet, and my dad hardly gets enough money just so that we can eat, it is very unlikely that I will get a chance to move before I graduate High School. I mean, the only thing that will make such a thing happen is if my dad died, in which case I would probably move to live with one of my sisters. I'd have better internet then, but I'd also live with my monstrous nieces and nephew that take joy in tearing everything I own apart. Plus, I would have to move schools, and even though I go to Auschwitz ISD home of mein fuhrer Principal Hitler, I do enjoy the fact that I can simply breeze through everything because most people weren't taught like I was in Elementary and Middle School. I learned Pre-Calculus in Algebra 1, and now I'm the only person passing it fairly easily. There are various ups and downs to moving in with one of my sisters, but mainly the biggest down is that my dad would have to die for this to be accomplished, and though we never really talk much and don't do anything together, his death wouldn't go remiss like my mother's. Also, I am not going to drop out of school. For one, two of my closest friends made me promise not to drop out, and I seriously intend to stick to that. For two, my master plan of working my way up to an easy occupation with plenty of money involves a High School Degree, and I wouldn't want to chance it with only a GED. For three, I'm seriously hoping to never have to work Fast Food. Ever. The only hope I have for faster internet speeds out here is if Google, Microsoft, etc. hurry up with their plans to create a Wireless network via the white spaces in T.V. which will be freed up when the switch from Analog to Digital occurs; but that won't likely occur this year. I'd likely be graduated before it occurs.

You're all complaining about internet in America?
I would kill to have internet run at even half its rated speeds
England fails miserably in that aspect

You're all complaining about internet in America? No, actually, just me, really. Me and anyone else that is limited to dial-up no matter what. I would kill to have internet run at even half its rated speeds I sure as fucking hell hope not. The best internet speed I can get is 56k. This is roughly 3 kb/s. IT TAKES ME HOURS TO DOWNLOAD ONE SONG. In your signature you say your Xbox 360 can blog. This means you can connect to Xbox Live, I'm guessing? This means your internet connects is light-years better than mine. I think I have the RIGHT to COMPLAIN about EFFIN' AMERICA'S lack of internet speed where I live. England fails miserably in that aspect However, I doubt England fails in gov't, education, and in society NEAR as much as America.

To tell you the truth. I think I'd rather have America fix this [censored] economy problem first, then get internet back. I seriously want this [censored again] back to what it was like, what? 6 years ago? It's just not worth it. For me it isn't at least. Yeah I love the internet, it [censored for the 3rd time] rocks. But the fact that my family is having troubles pay for this internet makes it hard for me. So without a doubt in my mind, I would so give up Internet to have this economy up and running again. But that's just me.

We need to get Clinton back in office. Bill Clinton, that is, not Hillory. She's a moron. But he actually did stuff for the country, regardless of that stupid affair. That's the only reason he resigned, because America's stupid and doesn't realize that most presidents probably have affairs.

People can say whatever they want about Clinton. Fact is that our nation's checkbook sure as hell got balanced and budgeted. Bush on the other hand? "Oh, we're going to rebuild everything that was destroyed in our fighting in Iraq." Yeah, with crews owned by Cheney. Imagine that.
And some of the die-hard militants say "Oh Clinton was a draft dodger he fled to Canada." You know what? Our very last president, George W., is a rumoured draft dodger, and either way did not serve in the military at all. (Hard to tell, amirite?) There's about a dozen presidents, including our new current, who didn't serve in the military, and I guarantee old Clinton wasn't the only one whose lack of inclusion was taboo. And our CURRENT president? Last I heard, he wouldn't even show a birth certificate in court to prove his American citizenship. Pretty sure that isn't all that hard, nor is it much to ask of a proud American citizen. And if you're not proud of that, you DAMN sure don't need to be President. /rant, we now return you to your regularly scheduled Server Report. (Sorry, I know this is way offtopic and you can Warn me for it if you like, I figured either way the forums needed more than LOLOL)

Besides this fact, if Obama weren't black, he likely wouldn't have won in a landside. If Obama didn't use sneaky, underhanded attempts to get the vote, he certainly wouldn't have won. And did you notice that he's basically doing the same thing as Bush so far? Yeah. Good choice America. :)b

You can totally move in with us, Realis. But you'd have to sleep in the Backyard and eat Oatmeal mix.
We have NETGEAR internet. Really good NETGEAR internet. All for you.

Yeah seriously. I thought President Barack Obama would've been like Clinton too. Apparently he's not. He's made some pretty bad choices so far. Maybe, just maybe, McCain would've been a better choice. I'm not saying Barack sucks [censored], but c'mon, it's only been a month and a half. But if he continues with these poor choices.... I'm [censored] done.

But Clinton was that guy who "did not have sexual relations with that woman"!!! Really, we should dig up FDR, clone him, and have him do a new new new deal. On the bright side of all this spending and bad economy, stocks are cheap. Buy a 100,000 shares of a company's stocks that are worth 1 cent come away with double your money when it goes up by a penny. Moving to future spendings, you can buy these cheap stocks and Rockefeller yourself (create a millionaire out of yourself). On the topic...I really don't have anything to say about the topic.

Darn Mahn I hope this move works out. I'm helping both my parents move within months of each other, they're divorced and both remarried so they have tons of crap. It is such a pain keeping track of everything. On another note I had some time to think up a duo challenge for the game with the new lvl/forget system. Zomg lunn double-keying!

That relates to my suggestion of a player tutorial option, for the raw amount of people coming in and asking things like, "How do I fight?"

We should also have an IRL tutorial for newbies fresh out of the womb. It can answer choice questions, such as, "How do I breathe," and hopefully, "How do I think?" It can also have suggested builds, and we can suggest people that screw up destroy themselves and remake.

Actually, a tutorial for battle was going to be created once upon a time, but it got knocked to the wayside.

When version five was first being worked on with the new team, we had discussed the want to setup a tutorial where you were required to speak to the captain of the army before leaving the castle that saved to your key. When speaking to him, he would go over the basic aspects of the game, including a sparing match to help you learn the battle commands.
