It took me a couple drops to realize you can steer the drop pods. A lot of people are using them to get dropped way up in trees or weird spots on biolabs. I've pretty much given up on them and just use redeploy. Between this and Hawken, all my fragging needs are met.

The hardest thing about PS2 is getting past the first 15 minutes.

You make a character, pick a faction, then get dropped into battle. Active battle. You have a near 100% chance of dying as soon as you land. Enemy players will be looking for the drop pods and will instantly target and kill you. You then will be shown a map with places you can respawn. If you run outside, you have about an 95% chance of dying instantly.

It is very unforgiving if you are used to playing other MMOs.

Charter is so far the only game in my town I can get service with as well. I live at the end of a very long cable run and Charter can't give me anything close to decent internet service. Over about 8 service visits and dozens of calls, I got put on a 'needy customer' list where everything is deemed to be my fault first and will only dispatch people to look at the wiring in my house where there is no problem. I logged about a month's worth of cable modem logs filled with signal problems and they won't even look at them. I switched to DSL about 18 months ago and have had 0 problems. The only thing keeping me with Charter for cable is tree coverage, else I'd get some satellite TV provider.

Charter turns me into a bitch-fest.

I too had the same access from the Amazon IP address. I also use a relatively (I once thought to be complex) password. Maybe 10+ characters isn't good enough anymore. I've switched to the smash face into keyboard password generation method. Oddly enough, I can't log into gmail anymore and my face looks like a waffle iron.
