I was actually lucky that I decided to bring my shiny new gaming laptop to work with me, instead of my crappy normal laptop with the slow HDD, where loading zones takes ages.
The gaming laptop's SSD actually saved me from getting sniped.
Logged on as soon as Jenova was back on, bought the plot that I've been sitting on almost 24/7 for the last few days (except for when i needed to log out, due to my old laptop needing a break) and not even 2 seconds later someone sprints over to the placard of my newly acquired home .. acts weirdly towards me and then runs off.
