Today, my prem ran out. I thought long and hard about renewing it and decided to see what
difference it made to not have it. I played a total of 7 games. 3 times, my connection was
lost and I was kicked off the server. This has happened a lot lately and I came to the
decision that if I needed to put it down on paper and see if it made sense.

I thought hard about it and my recent expereince is that I crash about every other game at
random times (in the waiting room or in battle). I have also noticed that sometimes the
crash happens right after some massive lag. So, If it takes an average of 5 minutes for a
game to start, and maybe 8-12 minutes for a GB2, plus a few minutes to swap a sailor
between battles or check out some stats, its roughly a twenty minute turn around for each
game. So if I'm playing for 2 hours, I should be able to get in 6 games. My BO gets about
12k XP per fight, so I should be getting 72,000 XP per sitting.

BUT I'm crashing half the games. Sometimes, this happens in game, so I'm losing all the
time in the waiting room, plus all the work I did in the battle (if it happens that late).
With the crashing, I lose about 1/2 a game, or 1/3 of my productivity, so I'm now getting
about 48,0000XP per sitting.

The logging in is not actually what makes me mad. What has been making me mad is when I
lose the work of the battle I was in and the lost time. I have checked my computer and
found that it is not me. SO, I feel like I have been paying for a service and that SDE
isn't giving it to me. What is the point of giving you $10 but 1/2 or 1/3 of the time the
work I do is lost? That defeats the point on trying to level!

I have no problem at all kicking in a small amount of money monthly to keep a game I like
going. However, it is problematic to give money to keep the game going.... if I'm not
going with it. Fix the HS/Lag/crashing problems Yuno, and you get my $10 back.

***Update***

Its nice to know that Yuno is working on a new code. However, that doesn't change the fact
I'm not paying him in the meantime until he provides the service I'm paying for. Here are
my stats since this post:

Monday: 8 attempts 4 games completed
Tuesday 3 attempts 1 game completed
Today 2 attempts 0 games completed

As you can see, I'm getting sick of trying to play a game that keeps closing me out. As I
said before, I have no other internet or computer related issues. I'm using a new, high
speed system. Its you, yuno, fix it.

Oh, and for all you BB drivers that love to bash CVs, three times crashes have occured
when I'm the flag :)
