All of the above.

A combination of everything, plus now I've decided to work on my cooking skills and make a pizza.

That said... all my current characters have done all the soloable content, so I'm on a semi-break anyway until High Isle comes out and I can make a new Breton.

How many Bretons have you got?

I play different games, watch tv and/or do 3 miles on the treadmill instead of the usual 2.

Uh.. while 'working' from home.

I am currently reading the book Nemesis Games by James S. A. Corey (The Expanse novel) and yes, I occasionally check to see if maintenance is over

Extended 'till 20:00 BST???
I can see game breaking bugs looming.

Sadly I have a top loading washing machine. Otherwise I'd watch my laundry getting laundered.

I've been listing to the pod cast on ESOU actually with Matygon, and finally writing up and making my personal fun builds on the new Hub Build editor mostly.

Go back to bed. (Wake me when it's done.)

Watch something on the TV or youtube (server goes down 6pm my time), do a bit of reading, then go to sleep. It is 3am here, maintenance is extended, I am going back to sleep, wake me when they round up enough hamsters to get the server back up.

Work (kind of) and then pop in from time to time to read angry posts about downtime

Elrond87

listening to music, while reflecting on how badly life is going while procrastinating about working out/wanting to finish the brick barbecue but raining/dealing with depression & grief, finding a job since redundant, but too depressed to care. just tip of the iceberg stuff

Well, I'd say it depends. Sometimes I play other games, somtimes I walk the dog, sometimes I read a book or cook or clean or draw or write or...
...today I'll walk the dog for a bit and afterwards watch a stream or other with hubby.

Ahhh, I kinda miss the old days when I was still doing patch maintenance myself. Patching the same old dinosaur every Monday starting at 5:30 a.m., patching about 20 hosts (not servers) one a month and finally, patching > 450 hosts once every three months.
Golden times.

Seems like they tried to split major update in two parts and failed to start servers today ...
As I remember, most of updates before major updates ended like this, long maintenance annonunced, then extended and then extended even more...

We are quite lucky as it is only a game, not atomic reactor, air traffic control or hospital.
But it is annoying anyway.

I went to the store to get some shopping done and stopped to eat lunch at taco bell as they got the pizza again WOOOO!!

Was expecting to come home and claim my reward before the time was up since I was not able to grab it last night due to bringing my niece/goddaughter to Mississippi for my sister.... only to find it still broken. *cries a little*

So now I guess I will go do some laundry. Or I might hit refresh for a few times to see if it comes up within the next 15 min....

Right now, watching "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" shorts.

I make pickled jalapenos all the time! I buy them though because I don't have space for a garden to grow my own.

So far today my answer has included:

• A full work day
• Playing Stardew Valley
• Dinner
• Shopping for the week
• Playing Guild Wars 2

2 hours left before bed, I'm hoping I'll at least be able to pick up the login reward.
