Well, I'm leaving BYOND. Right now we're in the middle of moving, and where we're going doesn't even have dial-up available right now (and AT&T said it would be a while before it was). I'd like to be on even before we moved, but unfortunately, I have surgery coming up in a week or less, and I have to help pack around here before then. I just don't have the time.
As some of you know, I'm the developer making "Enter the Wastes". Well, I'm trashing it.
I want to thank everyone here. This is a great community, and everyone has been helpful. I really don't want to go, but I can't find a place to stay that has internet (or a place at all).
But anyways...
Thanks everyone, and good luck.

Good luck moving, but don't trash your BYOND projects. Keep them around on a CD or HDD, you may want to look at them one day :)

Internet by Satellite

Dang it... every time someone comes up with a game involving zombies, the game goes away.
There must be some kind of conspiracy. It probably involves ninjas. | |

Internet by Satellite It's also extremely expensive. Are you moving into the middle of nowhere ? If you have access to a phone line you can get internet, via dialup DSL or even fiber optics. And there most likely is cable in your area. | |
It's not extremely expensive. It's only about $60 a month or so. Highest I've seen is $99, but if you're moving to a place where it doesn't rain a lot, this is a good choice.

Thats rediculous, I pay 40 a month and I get 30 megabits of speed. I looked at a few statelite companys and the best I saw was a 512/128 for 50 a month. And it costs 200 for the equipment. | |
Someday you will return, nobody really succeeds at "leaving BYOND"!
Good luck with moving though! And yeah, you can dial up with just an phone line. O-matic | |

This is access to the internet we're talking about. How can you put a price on that?
You know if you're moving somewhere that doesn't even have internet service there isn't going to be a lot to do. | |

I know, I was joking.
But I feel sorry for this guy if he's living in a place that doesn't have dial-up. | |
Yeah, it's in BFE : /
My parents are letting me put up a shop building though, and I'm going to put weights and stuff in there, as well as a practice mat. So that will give me something to do. | |
