awwwwee.... poor people not being able to play for 8 hours :P... I'd be the same way, but for once I'm happy to be working an 11 1/2 hour shift at work lol, when I get off work is the exact time that the update is supposd to be finished so I just have to hope that I can actually get access to download it right away and not have to wait 3 hours like I did on the last one before I even got to start the download... oh well buh bye

what time is it?
# Jun 28 2004 at 5:00 PM Rating: Decent
I have been wondering this for a while.
When they do this, what is PDT?

Is that the same as PST?

and what is Japan time compared to all this?

When they do updates, is it only here, in NA that they are updating, or are the Japanese ones updated at the same time too??
RE: what time is it?

PDT is Pacific Daylight Time :)
PST is Pacific Standard
Takes in to acount Daylight Savings
Cheers

[/Blue]I am staying late at work for a little bit. You know its bad when you stay extra time at work because you can't go home and play. Better than sitting home doing nothing ,however, I will be home in a little bit [Blue]to DL the patch.

I would assume he is talking about the part in the patch message that mentions thief sneak attack will now do critical damage from any angle when used in conjunction with the hide command. This puts whole new possible dimensions on thief utility both solo and in group.. depending on how exactly this works. We will see ^^ I'm excited being a 54 thief as my main.

Well... they would be good after 45, not 60 for that lol...
New quest item...
# Jun 28 2004 at 4:24 PM Rating: Decent
Anyone know where the new quest to get the Manequin will be located at? I think this item looks awesome! Thanks
