Well at any rate, I'm logged on now >_>

[Nightfyre]

I'm online now.

[Despain]

Seems people can log in now, sweet. Maybe I can get some merits :/

[masterofwar1]

ZOMG I'M IN

[rekie]

think it might be sorted, went down to 682 before shooting back up to 771

[Seshat]

Hmm I just tried logging in for the hell of it and got online with no problems.. O.o

[Klaatu]

I bet its down because not enough people spam the "Play" button and try to logon even after the announcement.

Because the only free time I have out of the week I can't use on a video game, so I make one of my own! Spam the Log On button!

P.S. I'm in!

[Astrida]

Yay.

No, no merits for you fool. Just cause you got BB yesterday doesnt mean your mnk is still any good.

[Seshat]

Got logged in then game froze. Lovely.

[TMG]

Back on now as well.

[Despain]

No, no merits for you fool. Just cause you got BB yesterday doesnt mean your mnk is still any good.

I hate you so much that I love you.

[Liminality]

I had a friend log me in on his PS2 and toss all my hatchets. Worked like a charm.

I had a friend log me in on his PS2 and toss all my hatchets. Worked like a charm.

I was sitting here half asleep staring at the word "hatchets" and trying to put two and two together.

"...Hatchets?"
"...to prevent..."
"..hmm."
"..to prevent..LOGGING!! OH I GET IT NOW!"

Yeah. Mine went fucking crazy. People I didn't even know showed up on mine.

Mine shows people as mid-logging process, but not actually logged in, when they are in fact ingame. <_>
