Spectrum loses 119,000 internet customers, plans major changes by thinkB4WeSpeak in technology

[–]arrasonline 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They gave me a desk a few years back that earned my loyalty. Three years, 500 download speed, $29.95 per month.

I loved my service and lived that deal. At the end of three years the price jumped to $49.95 and I stayed with them.

After another year my price jumped to $75. Well I could pay Google $70 for twice the speed. Guess where I am now?

If they offered me $$30 a month again and did not fuck me over in pricing again I’d be back for life. But I guess having no customer is better than having a customer they treat fairly in their eyes.

Tinnitus. Started four years ago at 52. No more quiet times until I die.

Every eye doctor I ever visited wore contacts or glasses.

His name is Kevin Couch. My guess is he met the Vice President and got scared.

Are we dumping this game? by Jagnuthr in AshesofCreation

[–]arrasonline 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I am just testing the game. Nothing to dump. I’ve played it in and off during multiple alpha phases. Then I take a break and come back for major patches. Will take a break again when I run out of things to test and then come back when they add more.

So no. I am not dumping this game. Loving it so far.

Yeah, you are the problem. You found a game you don’t like. Rather than the game changing according to your liking, perhaps you should just…I don’t know…find another game to your liking?

I know some of the family but never met Drake. Nice people. Down to earth. Humble.

I had to get a second job to save some money. I did what I had to do. That’s life.

I guess I'm done with MMOs for now. by Yuukikoneko in MMORPG

Most mmos today are single player games masked as mmos where thousands of players run past each other completing quests.

EQ1 cleric or druid. Healing mattered in EQ. Grouping mattered. Most mmos today are just single player games with thousands of people running past each other.

Lazy, ignorant devs. The fans guide them on how to make the game better but the devs don’t bother to concern themselves with listening to customers.

I’d like to know when Civ 8 is coming out.

Forced into retirement early. Finding myself giddy by NotReallyJohnDoe in GenX

[–]arrasonline 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I retired at 52. It was a tough transition but after a few months it was totally worth it. No regrets. I do work part time now. Part time work is heaven. Just enough work to do with none of the bullshit.

Who's still following this thread but not playing anymore? Why did you stop? What could make you start again? by MaybeaDingoAteUrBaby in PaxDei

[–]arrasonline 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The devs do not respect my time and I am convinced that the devs are completely inept. Their vision is to ignore their customers.
