  I haven't been active on nation so I'm curious, was there a reason Ultros was chosen? Don't tell me it's because of tentacles now is it?
  
  Still can't decide what server.

  I think the Cat chose Ultros because some gaming forum is on it, idk. Personally, I don't really care, so I thought I'd go on the same server as some fellow Nationers.

  Ultros is used by big gaming communities like Neogaf and /vg/
  There are Nationers who participate in these communities and they can play with them as they wish.
  Also, being able to play with gaming dedicated communities is something you want in a MMORPG.

  I love exploring dangerous areas. Almost made it to what I'm told is a PvP arena:

  Other times, my exploring didn't end in tragedy. >:3 I decided to see if I could make it to those awesome golden arc anomalies that were shown in the new artwork for the game:

  Gotta love the lighting effects with this engine.

  So I decided to push into enemy territory, evading powerful monsters and stuff... It seems we've captured what I assume to be enemy's Ceruleum processing plant:

  Then I decided to see what's beyond it. Looks like the remnants of the old battle, with the crash remains of those vertical flying towers powered by dragons or something, idk:

  Went a bit further, when... HOLY SHIT, IT'S A MAGITEK VANGUARD O_O!!

  I don't think I can sneak past those, haha.
  
  EDIT: I thought I'd try putting one to sleep...

  Anyways, decided on Ultros server, cousin messaged me and was like "Dude, play Ultros, everyone and their mothers is on it." Now lets just hope I can get in after the maintenance.

  Tried to make some Macros for my main attack skills but it's off kinda.
  
  Attack Combo
  /ac "Fast Blade" <t>
  /wait 2.5
  /ac "Riot Blade" <t>
  /wait 2.5
  /echo Repeat
  
  There's a delay between when my skills get off of global cool down and the executing of the next skill and also the echo command for repeat doesn't always appear. Reducing the wait time just means that the next command does not execute so I can't use that to reduce the delay so I'm a bit stumped. I mainly put the echo command so I don't have to look at my hot bar to know when I can use the macro again.
