Im sorry about your current situation, but we can not alter the skillgain because you have a bad ISP.
Also regarding complaints to your ISP, if you pay for a 24/7 service you have the right to complain or get a discount on the bill if you do not get the service you are paying for. I would make a smart 'buissness case' tell them that, i really need to have access to internet running non stop as i am running a webportal (or w/e) and everytime i get troubles because of _your_ service it costs me both time and customers make a script that you could have infront of you while calling. And if they dont take off xx amount of your bill you will have to switch to another ISP and also even maybe try to get back the some or all of the money you have payed to them so far or for the past year. Im sure they do not want to loose customers and would reduce the bill or even give you a free month. Its atleast worth a shot.[/COLOR]

Hehe I wasn't suggesting the way the shard works should be changed to suit me, I was just showing how in comparison smoke losing 2 hours is not such a huge deal for him when he can go 24/7.

By the way, 2 missing hours out of a month represents less then .5% of the time in a month so my ISP would probably say something like 'ok we'll take .5% off your bill to match the down time', I don't want 2 cents off lol. It was just an example of how ridiculous the argument or claim would be. Being down for a week or two is a different story, and smoke didn't even miss a week, let alone a day of macroing, a few hours is all.


I don't see how everyone skips over the point that this macroing was done after being told server down and when nobody else could macro. Not because of a faulty ISP, not because they weren't home to connect to UO, not because of 101 other reasons, because the server was down. Congrats for doing something nobody else could, now you should be rewarded? I don't think so. If the server had crashed like it was supposed to, you wouldn't have been able to be on UO at all so you wouldn't have been able to macro anyways. So instead of complaining about server down you are complaining you were able to play the game a few extra hours but your work wasn't saved... Some people are just never happy...
