My internet has been so ****** since Sandy, that I haven't played much in the way of MMOs. Verizon SAID the stuff on their end would be finished over a month ago. It was decent for about a week, and then got worse than ever before. Pretty much just stayed there ever since. Had people out to check it. They say it's "fine." But 3 different routers didn't fix the problem. It's more like our internet is fast, or barely working/out, and there's no in-between.
So, if I'm playing something online, it has to be solo-friendly and generally non-competitive. So... I'm playing EVE. Which, of course, doesn't REALLY fulfill either requirement. It's solo-friendly, sure, but... yeah. I'm pretty much sticking to only low-risk tasks in high-security space. I handle combat in drone boats, mine, take low-risk freight jobs that I auto-pilot (low-risk meaning I can cover the cost if I get ganked without breaking my bank). And since your character continues to train skills offline, I don't get so angry when I just can't play.
Fortunately, I have so little time for gaming that it's not a massive problem. I commute 3-4 hours a day, have made serious attempts to spend at least 30 minutes a day working out, and am trying to actually spend time with friends while we're still all living at home. Netflix is causing me more grief than MMOs.
