The Patch of Downtime
I haven’t been logged into WoW all day, but apparently that’s been a hard enough thing for people who actually want to play. With a 1.2 GB patch to apply this morning, apparently Blizzard has been having enough trouble having everything work as intended. When I tried to go to their website earlier it was down, at for at least a short period of time, logging into WoW was impossible. Hopefully by tomorrow night everything will be up and running smoothly, but then they’ll have about another 48 hours to get everything working even better before I get another chance at any serious play time.
Tonight and tomorrow morning will (should) be dedicated to finishing up my first draft of my game paper so that I’ll have the time to play WoW tomorrow night. The round that everyone submitted last week varied wildly in number of pages/words, but as long as I’m in that same general ballpark, I think I should be fine length-wise. A lot of what I’m writing at this point is just a general overview that I’ll further refine for my next deadline in three weeks. After all, the point of having a bunch of drafts/intermediate deadlines is so that you don’t have to have everything to turn in all at once.
