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 702 Views
I know, but look it up BEFORE you start. LadyLorraine - 19/09/2010 06:44:56 PM 693 Views
Why keep playing if you aren't enjoying it? Ghavrel - 19/09/2010 07:28:20 PM 719 Views
There's a social obligation. Aemon - 19/09/2010 07:47:55 PM 712 Views
mostly this. few other reasons LadyLorraine - 19/09/2010 10:04:15 PM 702 Views
It's a video game. People need to be understanding. Ghavrel - 20/09/2010 02:22:36 AM 707 Views
why not? people get annoyed when you don't show up for sports practices. LadyLorraine - 20/09/2010 03:30:23 AM 682 Views
Fake world means real world wins. Ghavrel - 20/09/2010 03:49:39 PM 671 Views
Social obligations exist wherever socializing occurs. *NM* Aemon - 20/09/2010 04:41:53 AM 313 Views
That doesn't make them meaningful. *NM* Ghavrel - 20/09/2010 03:50:27 PM 302 Views
Well, you didn't specify meaningful. Even so, I don't understand the antagonism. Aemon - 21/09/2010 03:51:17 AM 771 Views
That is a bad analogy, yes. Ghavrel - 21/09/2010 04:54:38 AM 815 Views
Eh, mine always are, somehow. Aemon - 21/09/2010 02:06:08 PM 735 Views
This. Any sort of cooperative game will create social obligations somehow. *NM* Legolas - 26/09/2010 03:40:13 PM 362 Views
Only when it requires a huge time investment. Ghavrel - 26/09/2010 07:37:34 PM 657 Views
And I maintain that your face is stupid. *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 27/09/2010 01:55:36 AM 407 Views
o u got meh brah *NM* Ghavrel - 27/09/2010 02:04:20 AM 292 Views
Dude. I've been "trapped by social obligations" for a text-based game. Legolas - 28/09/2010 10:13:44 PM 778 Views
Achaea is different. Ghavrel - 29/09/2010 02:16:19 AM 702 Views
Nah, you wouldn't have heard of it. Legolas - 29/09/2010 02:32:29 PM 606 Views
Actually most raids CAN be broken up. Myrdhyn - 30/09/2010 06:34:00 PM 756 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 325 Views
That's why I always blamed it on an impromptu sex invitation. TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2010 03:48:11 AM 659 Views

What about those who weren't on Vent? Ryan - 22/09/2010 08:05:33 PM 885 Views
everyone was at least signed into vent, even if they didn't have a mic. LadyLorraine - 23/09/2010 05:54:22 AM 655 Views
