This actually works very well...unless you're married and both play the same game in the same guild :\ Another one that works very well is just unplug your router for a minute, vent and game crashes on all PCs at the same time. Then close game+vent+whatever, power the router back up, and go do something else for a bit. When your guildies ask where you were, just tell'em your interwebs went out and didn't come back on for so long that found entertainment elsewhere. This one has the added bonus of the more frequently you use it, the more believable it becomes :P


I've found that the more often you use the latter excuse, the quicker you get replaced in Raids when it's actually true. I remember one time when WoW actually crashed for me and I heard them say "Damn, there he goes again" and they had replaced me before I could log back in, because I'd developed a history of not coming back. So they didn't hold my place for five or ten minutes like they would have normally.

I could see people not knowing Black Temple fights. That instance is from the old level cap. TaskmasterJack - 19/09/2010 06:24:21 PM 620 Views
I know, but look it up BEFORE you start. LadyLorraine - 19/09/2010 06:44:56 PM 611 Views
Why keep playing if you aren't enjoying it? Ghavrel - 19/09/2010 07:28:20 PM 632 Views
There's a social obligation. Aemon - 19/09/2010 07:47:55 PM 630 Views
mostly this. few other reasons LadyLorraine - 19/09/2010 10:04:15 PM 618 Views
It's a video game. People need to be understanding. Ghavrel - 20/09/2010 02:22:36 AM 625 Views
why not? people get annoyed when you don't show up for sports practices. LadyLorraine - 20/09/2010 03:30:23 AM 587 Views
Fake world means real world wins. Ghavrel - 20/09/2010 03:49:39 PM 581 Views
Social obligations exist wherever socializing occurs. *NM* Aemon - 20/09/2010 04:41:53 AM 268 Views
That doesn't make them meaningful. *NM* Ghavrel - 20/09/2010 03:50:27 PM 266 Views
Well, you didn't specify meaningful. Even so, I don't understand the antagonism. Aemon - 21/09/2010 03:51:17 AM 681 Views
That is a bad analogy, yes. Ghavrel - 21/09/2010 04:54:38 AM 728 Views
Eh, mine always are, somehow. Aemon - 21/09/2010 02:06:08 PM 653 Views
This. Any sort of cooperative game will create social obligations somehow. *NM* Legolas - 26/09/2010 03:40:13 PM 322 Views
Only when it requires a huge time investment. Ghavrel - 26/09/2010 07:37:34 PM 577 Views
And I maintain that your face is stupid. *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 27/09/2010 01:55:36 AM 366 Views
o u got meh brah *NM* Ghavrel - 27/09/2010 02:04:20 AM 255 Views
Dude. I've been "trapped by social obligations" for a text-based game. Legolas - 28/09/2010 10:13:44 PM 691 Views
Achaea is different. Ghavrel - 29/09/2010 02:16:19 AM 617 Views
Nah, you wouldn't have heard of it. Legolas - 29/09/2010 02:32:29 PM 522 Views
Actually most raids CAN be broken up. Myrdhyn - 30/09/2010 06:34:00 PM 666 Views
And yet they do. In fact, end-game in MMOs are built on them, and would not function otherwise *NM* lord-of-shadow - 20/09/2010 06:09:33 AM 285 Views
That's why I always blamed it on an impromptu sex invitation. TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2010 03:48:11 AM 573 Views

What about those who weren't on Vent? Ryan - 22/09/2010 08:05:33 PM 726 Views
everyone was at least signed into vent, even if they didn't have a mic. LadyLorraine - 23/09/2010 05:54:22 AM 570 Views
