What? That's strange...Mozgus wrote:Looks like I'm out. Blizzard decided to ban me from East and West again for no reason. Last time they did this it was for months. I'm just getting the generic message about my "modem" having issues. Yeah, right. Still works on europe and asia servers.

Look at all this insanity:

Battle.net is horrible. I'm thinking about just sticking to private servers. http://templeofzakarum.com/ seems very friendly and serious, but they do ask for $10 a year I believe.
Edit: Fixed the issue myself. Changed my IP by cloning my PC's MAC address to my router, then release and renewed for a new IP from my ISP. Works now. I can just use this one until my old IP gets unbanned and then I can unclone the MAC address. I actually had this issue a couple years ago but I didn't know anything about MAC addresses back then. I just assumed my router hated BNet, even in DMZ mode.

UPDATE
Here is the (I believe) final list of players. Please check yourself and let me know if I messed up.
Raztat, Amazon, USE
Sarouk, Druid, CAE
Ivo, Sorceress, EUR (West)
Howitzer, Paladin, USE
Arterial Death, Necro, USE
Lywellin, Barbarian / Assassin, USE ?
Niode, Assassin / Barbarian, EUR (West)
Gaming will be 2 sessions per Sunday I believe.
1st session probably from 9:30/10:00 -> lunch time for USE (say, 13:00 or so. We may finish early, particularly Act 1, but I also expect someone to arrive late, although I hope not).
2nd session after lunch for USE -> until we finish the Act.
People are welcome to play during the break with other chars, on other games with the rest of the crew or with others (like Mozgus) who may be around, as long as they are ready when it is time to start the session.

Time zones be important, yo. Also what do I have to do around here to be included in that? I'm raising a Druid 56 and Sorc 14 on West currently. I can make a new class of any kind to play with you guys exclusively.raztat wrote:so we are going by est time right?Ivo wrote:UPDATE

Timezones: When I post this (it will get timestamped), it will be almost 9:00 AM for me. This is my summer timezone - British Summer Time, BST. GMT doesn't change during the Summer. GMT right now is 8:00.
From past experience, I believe the Summer time in East Coast is 5 hours earlier than my Summer timezone, so if you are on the East coast you should see this post's timestamp as nearly 4:00 AM. Correct me if I am wrong (it may be 5 hours earlier than GMT).
I suggest that we start after US East ppl have had breakfast (that will depend on the person that wakes up latest of the group - it is a Sunday, I don't expect people to get up at 8 to start playing). As nobody is suggesting anything, I'll go ahead and suggest 9:30 as the starting time. That means you can get up at 9:00 to have breakfast, or wake up at 9:20 and eat while you play if that's what you prefer. But if someone objects I can move the starting time to 10:00 or even 10:30
Probationer STARTING TIME: 9:30 EST / 14:30 BST / 13:30 GMT
When we finish act 1 we will discuss when to regroup, it's hard enough to talk to 2 groups on 2 different forums so I rather do it live.
Moz, we currently have the full 7 slots taken. As you don't mind playing any class, I'll reserve you the slot if anyone drops out (which I wouldn't be surprised). Other than that, I'm sure some people will want to play before / after / between sessions (I'm up for "before", for example).
PEOPLE: Don't be late, please. If you think you can't make it at 9:30, let me know now.

Rooms allow for 8 people. Whats the problem? Thought I was the one who suggested this whole thing. :-\Ivo wrote:Moz, we currently have the full 7 slots taken.
