I suck at selling and can't go into the bazaar anymore. Sharing a network
with 4 computers with only a 19.2kbps connection really really blows. I
can't even play EQ if one person has a text based rpg going on online now.
:-(
Which means I haven't been able to play for quite awhile...
I'm still using heady kiolas to try to get tailoring up to move on to do the
6th shawl. I have everything I need to make it except the skill.

Yeah.

Again, this would work if I could actually go to the bazaar and not go LD
within 2 seconds. That is the longest I have been able to be in the bazaar
in months. and then had to get GM to move me bc I couldn't even make it to
the zone. As soon as I tried to move I got black screen and "YOU HAVE BEEN
DISCONNECTED".

Yeah, but by the time I can actually hit a key I'm kicked. :-( It takes me
10 minutes to zone in and then boom. disconnected.

I disabled most models. I have an AMD Athlon 1.4Ghz processor and 1GB of DDR
SDRAM. But I still get kicked from bazaar bc of my internet connection.
