It's a fun story, you don't often hear about GOA getting wtfpwned. Least of all by a fan-boi like me 
...I think I’ll leave the role-playing to the professionals. At least they get paid for it - or not in this case. So Last year I applied for my very first credit-card (Ohh, Ahhh!), originally I wasn't going too until I found out it would help me to have a good credit-rating for stuff like loans... well ok, I’m likely to need one sooner or later, all the cool kids were doing it. So like an angst filled teenager I went down to my local bank and picked up an application form. Six to Eight weeks later I got my CC... That’s the background Info, so a few months ago my CC expired and I was rather promptly sent a new one.
Sadly, for whatever reason I doubt I’ll ever find out - The DAoC subscription pages design doesn't seem to allow you to change your CC details until your account runs out... Well ok... kind of annoying.. but... Yeah well.. So I patiently sit... and sit... and sit... then I realise my account wouldn't run out for another few weeks and called work desperately explaining I had be Ill with the black plague and that I’d file an unfair dismissal suit if they fired me (Well ok, I made that bit up. But it sounds more interesting than...
..) time passed and finally the promised day came, and Archeon was most happy for he was playing on Gorre with his shiny not-so-FoTM Healer spec mezzing all the dr00ds (got to love Mastery of Focus and capped +dura) and all was good, it was discovered that PR was shit and that it would not be purchased when NF went live, and that DI was defiantly worth spending points on.
And so the merry 'testing' finished and Archeon did travel to his main server to see what was up. Immediately he was faced with the threat of a zone crash as a terrifying 4 members of his guild were online, a few hours later the threat was increased when there were 6 people online at which point Archeon was forced to rush down to engineering and divert power from the structural integrity field to the Popcorn machine so he'd have warm, buttery treats while he stared at the pretty slideshow of him trying to pimp out his house.
After much pimping occurred Archeon did realise his cash reserves were a little low. In a panic he ran to the vault...
Still Archeon was not satisfied!! Quickly he dashed down to the vault and found... Seals! Of every colour and shade the eye can see, surely with these he could purchase more Asterite! Casting his haste spell and with no time to spare Archeon rushed up the stairs to his houses Teleportation lady affectionately named 'Dotty'
"Dotty!" Archeon did cry "Teleport me to Svasud Faste!! Verily'Fast'e!!!"
And Dotty did teleport him, and then Archeon ran! And Ran!! AND RAN!!!... And then he realised he'd forgotten to recast his run buff... so he cast it... and HE RAN!!!!!! Making it to the gates of Darkness Falls he dived in seconds before the gates were locked (another lie, but its more interesting)
Rushing down the steps he did manage to break his legs in the process. Undeterred the Hero dragged himself by enchanting his hair to pull him along (his arms being used in grand waving actions which all healer's must perform when using magic’s) - Finally he made it to the merchant and did purchase... BOOTS!!!!
Finally back at his home Archeon did salvage, and hinge. And much money was made to the point where he realised the combination of his broken legs and suicidal run to Legion had left him without the strength to move! Thinking quickly he healed himself and recast his str buff, at which point movement was much easier and he sold his goods. Or would have! But the gods did not shine down on Archeon for his Network connection at that moment possessed by a vicious demon was turned off and then back on again in a moronic display of unintelligence! To which Archeon did cry
"Hark Demon! What do you! Hath I not told ye to just restart your fucking PC when the network'eth you cannot access?"
And the demon was sullen with contempt and returned to the darkness from whence it came!! But the damage was done... Archeon... WAS LINK-DEAD!!!!!!!!.... LINK-DEAD.... [/B]LINK-DEAD!!!!!![/b]
...
...
...LINK-DEAD!!!!!!
Not to be swayed from selling his hinged goods Archeon did attempt to log back in. Alas! The promised day had ended and Archeon's account was LOCKED!!! And so he did open his Emails, to which the evil forces of GOA had sent him mocking summons
But Archeon laughed for this was his plan! Rapidly did he search the mess of rubbish which was the shine of the sacred credit card, through £10-off vouchers and old receipts until he did find the card! And with great haste he tapped in the magical combination to unlock his account one more and free it from GOA!
And the numbers were entered, the process started. And so Archeon sat with little to do... and so he once more turned to the email of darkness sent by the Gothic Orthopaedic Association... to which he noticed something... for his account had expired at 11pm... And he had lost connection at 11:50... And Archeon did laugh, for the GOA-monster had been cheated. He had been playing for Free for the last 50minutes!!
And so with nothing else to do Archeon did travel to the house of Freddy and he did post a long-winded tail of his exploits while waiting for the magical process to complete and his account to be freed from the GOA-Dragon to complete his victory!!!
Alas, it was not to be for in his excitement Archeon must have mis-typed the magical number and the GOA monster did claim bitter revenge is it did once more send mocking Email informing him of his rejection! To which Archeon replied...
"Fuck it, I’m going to bed!"
