Ragnarok Online Still Hates Me

Blog No. 202: Ragnarok Online Still Hates Me

Tuesday, my free day between two school days of quizzes. So I wake up early and try and log on to Ragnarok Online so that I could level up a ton before Piper and Difuentez got back from camping. However, when I tried to log on, I get an error message back, "Failed to connect to server!"

Great... The world is out to get me.

So I looked online. Apparently, an answer was that I had a faulty connection. So I unplugged and replugged everything involving internet cables, and I even tried to diagnose the problem through McAfee to try and see if they banned Ragnarok for security issues. After all of that work, what do I get?

"Failed to connect to server!"

So I thought maybe, just maybe, they have way too many people online for me to sign in, so I shall try back in an hour! When I returned at 9, I still got that error message. I returned at 10, 11, noon, 1, 1:30, 3, 5, 5:45, 6:15, 7, 7:30, 9, 10:30, 11:15, and midnight, during which time I occupied myself with guitar strumming, Brawlin, chores, cheese quesadillas, and Gilmore Girl episodes. Each time I'd logged on, I still got the same error message.

"Failed to connect to server!" as if mocking me for this constant persistence.

I told Piper of the hoops and hurdles I went through, voicing very clearly that RO is an internet demon. Piper replied, "Well they close down the game to do maitenance for a few hours."

Why thank you for telling me! I feel so in the loop! You know, out of all the FAQ articles I've torn through, there was no mention of shutting down due to maitenance. >_<

To which I verbally replied, "They do maitenance from 8 AM to midnight?"

Silence...

At least I'm not crazy! XD

Then I texted JT my dilemma, to which he replies, also, "Silly boy, they do maitenance on Tuesdays!"

"The entire day? I've tried logging on every hour on the hour I've been up today!"

"Hmmm... Maybe Ragnarok does hate you!"

So much for that ounce of hope. DX
