The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

It’s not the dates I was expecting :-/ Of course, it’s the number of applications being processed that matters and not the dates – for all I know, 90% of Novembers applications went in on the 1st. Anyway, at least they’re now allocating applications lodged in our month so that’s a definite milestone. The main

After my humiliating defeat on Mount Hobs, I thought it an idea to warp out of the dungeon and do a short bit of random-encountering before going back up the hill and over to Fabul. Just getting another level on every made it all a bit easier and set me up well for the siege

Everything seems to be going as expected – I think the speed increase towards the end of October is caused by the bulk of applications being made at the end of summer after the DIMIA’s big migration push on TV. Well, we’ll wait and see. This means that our month should begin processing next week

Why is it that I always underestimate the first few dungeons in a new Final Fantasy game? Here I am, as ever, in the antlion dungeon with no Phoenix Down, no Ether, and hordes of Zombies who can only be killed with magic. You’d think I’d know better by now.

Well, it was only a matter of time. This is one for the bus. It was odd though – starting it up and being faced with the white title screen and that arpeggio playing in the background, knowing I had upwards of 200 hours of joy waiting for me really sent a shiver down my

A guildmate and I were doing some shared quests around Stonetalon Mountains last night and generally having an ACE time. One of the harpies there helpfully dropped a very nice axe as well. Apparently, the chances that drop only occurs 0.01% of the time from that specific beast, so a bit of a result, really.

Apparently – 17-21st October are being processed as we speak. We’re 28th November. The rate seems to be 2 weeks processed per week, if that makes any sense. Anyway, we were down in Northampton at the weekend – our sponsors are over for a few weeks and, given that they’ve come all the way round

Alledgedly, the DIMIA are processing non-priority applications lodged between 10th and 17th October. I think it’s safe to assume we’ll have heard from a case officer before the end of June – probably in the next two weeks. The interminable waiting is just horrible – we have the points, we have the skills and the

I’m gonna have to start again. Really, I am. I seem to have missed unlocking the Colloseum in mission six and there’s no way to go back and do it again. And I lost two characters I probably shouldn’t have. These are all, of course, the thinest of excuses. It’s a great game and I

It’s official! Since dinging 23, Trollbert is now officially my highest level character. I’m not really a “mad rush to level 60” person – there’s just far too much to do for all that grinding and levelling. Trollbert, for example, stayed at level 19 for ages, just doing Warsong Gulch. I have another four classes
