I played a lot of World of Warcraft a while back, and I always used to hate it when people posted on message boards complaining about nothing more than doing badly or screwing up somehow in the game, but I'm sorry, I'm actually pretty steamed right now.

I logged on right at midnight (according to the Sleuth clock, I work late - so these are my normal hours), really looking forward to playing. Yesterday, I had decided to just go around to other cities and check them out and when I logged off last night I was in Delhi.

So, I just logged on about a half hour ago, and quickly lost just about all my money and all my cases because apparently there are pirates blockading Delhi and I couldn't get through. So I've got no money and I'm cut off from my agency in a city where I have no contacts. Oh, and I have one case left.

I would just chalk it up to bad luck and say it was my own stupid fault, but I've read the newbie FAQ and other stuff around the site, and I've never read anything about pirates around Delhi, or pirates randomly blockading cities. Pirates blockading Cairo, sure, but that's it. I think if this is a hazard players can face while traveling, that should be advertised, preferably in the Newbie FAQ.

And if not, at the very least players shouldn't lose their money and cases for trips that they weren't able to make.

So do these pirates ever leave Delhi or should I just cancel my subscription?

If you get pirated once, try waiting for at least 5 minutes before attempting to leave to a city again. Its more than likely that in one minutes time frame the pirates wont be gone!

Usually works for a few of my agents...give it a try next time and see what happens.

Good luck!

Yes and happy Sleuthing Jo, you'll be back in the home city in no time and will have a great tale to tell down the pub with your fellow agency members.

lol well aren't you the 'lucky' one :) Oh and I also like to try logging out and then logging back in again to break the stretch of being pirated.

Um, I'm guessin' you've never been to Big Lucy's Cabaret or the London Library before, Joe?? You'll find hints about the pirates at both these places, if you care to look....

(And you thought Lucy's was just a place to blow your money....Oops. ;-)

The pirates have been around as long as Cairo and Shangri-La have, and most of us have been pirated multiple times at least once before. Bottom line, we sympathize but better luck next time.

Well, yeah I've been to the Cabaret, but again I thought that was just Cairo where they were active.

It's cool. I'm over it. It was just really frustrating to look forward to playing and then within five minutes all my cases are used up.
