Well, evidently Trion fixed their UK issues…by disabling the latency meters so that latency shows a cozy, playably low number…too bad you can’t attack anything, talk to NPCs, etc. Awesome job. *sarcastic applause* What is worse, the fix that we had come up with last night no longer works, so they’ve fucked that up as …
…as I was able to get my gaming fix last night. :) Nerdrant /ragequit moment over. Blocking the 6000-range ports to force it to move to port 80 (via the Trend Micro firewall) did work. Just in time, too, as they supposedly patched it this morning. lol. Ah well – hopefully it will be fixed …

Again, we were only four, and one was probably too low for the instance so we didn’t finish the full run. But it was a nicely-designed instance, not too taxing aside from the somewhat tricky line-of-sight fight on the …
Rift is just so damned much fun. So much fun that I’ve neglected many of the things that I’d planned on doing during my “holiday”. The Rift team has actually extended this beta phase by one day, since both they and the beta players were having so much fun. I love this game. :) We’re …
