There I was, gathering away when I lost connection to the server.
Almost came to the forums, but paused; House was quiet.
No fan noise from the fridge. No slight hum of electricity just silence.
I tried light switch; nada.
I was in a power cut. Wonderful! Rang the power company and got a recorded message; Not in their area, please use the no. on my bill. Where do they think I got the no. from? Thin air? Used the one from the phone book; Got a recorded message saying they were aware of the issue. Hung up & power came back on; typical!
Back to FFXIV.
Half way to loading back in; power-cut, again.
Almost started cursing.
Sat there and thought, ok now what? Forums are out for the same reason as the game.
Looked outside. Lovely warm sunshiny day.
