My GOD! What is this!:

* The ResNet bandwidth usage limit is currently 500 megabytes (MB) per day.
* The limit is like a gas tank that refills at a rate of 21 MB per hour (500 MB per day).
* If you download faster than the refill rate your tank will eventually become empty. When your tank is empty you will be put into a slow queue.
* In the slow queue your bandwidth usage is restricted and you will notice much slower internet speeds.
* You will be released from the slow queue once you allow your tank to refill above the empty point.




Why do they refer to our internet usage like its a tank? I don't think we 1st years are that dumb (we did get into uni didn't we?)

Honestly... I don't think it was that hard to get in...

alv077 I am going to find you, and I will put a goose's head next to you, so when you wake up you'll have this reaction:

Yeah its not bad at all, I don't even use that much at home. The tank reference is a bit weird.

Another weird thing is the "What to bring" link in their Get Ready4Rez website which actually lists a teddy bear. I mean common, who came up with that? If I want to get publicly humiliated than I'll walk around Yonge Street in my shorts which might get some laughs.

I brought a stuffed penguin named Mr. Penguin though...

Good players only, lol

So I just got in and am going to UoW. I absolutely hate traditional style dorms so is living in UW Place or MKV really that bad?
