There is no current plot. The forests welcome new travelers within these lands.
Event Status: Not Active (each accepted character allowed to RP in multiple RP threads)

RP Season: Summer
This means everything is green, flowers are everywhere, and the shining sun creates a need for shady shelter on the warmest days.

This is just great...

This is just great...

Post by forgerofsouls »

Not sure what is going on, but earlier today I reset my computer, and during start up it froze at the initial start up screen so I had to restart my comp again. This time it came up with a "Invalid Partition Table" error, requiring me to restart again. Then it gave a "Can't find boot disk" error. The fourth restart finally got me in, but damn did I have a scare there. So, if I disappear for a time again, its because my comp died. Which I hope is not the case. But regardless, I did buy a new computer...it just won't ship till next month.

... because you bought it online, sight unseen, rather than buying "in-person" after a hands-on examination? Heh... one of the problems encountered when buying online. Or ordering "custom" from a local (or not local) shop.

I feel your pain. :twak

Wow, sounds like that comp has some serious corruption going on there! On the bright side, "next month" starts next week, so hopefully the new one will be there soon ^_^

Also, I think I've bought one computer from an actual physical store...the stuff I use usually can't be found anywhere but online :p

Well, some good news, my comp is expected to be delivered on the 12th of September, so, that's better than originally determined.

Yay for the fact that it's coming sooner than expected! :D

Indeed, it made me happy. But, there is a chance that it might arrive later or earlier. Depending on when they finish production for it.
