Hypothetically, when is the best part of October to take a vacation?

[slowpoke68]

Just thinking out loud kind of spit balling, but if you were going to take a vacation in the month of October on any given year, when would you take it? Some might say the beginning of the month so you can get out and see the leaves turn. Others might say around the middle of the month is best. Then again you could wait til the end with Halloween and all.

So if I were going to take some time off in October, say this October, when should it be? Any opinions? Devs feel free to jump in on this too. Everyone is welcome to voice their thoughts!

Its tough, my work is like when exactly do you need time off for your vactaion?

And I'm like, well its an elf sim EMU server launch, so its hard to know the dates for sure.

Asking for time off to elf sim should be grounds for termination.

Towards the end of October. Inhospitable weather is more common then assuming you live stateside, making game sessions ideal. If both earthquakes haven't already occurred in game, there's a greater likelihood of being online for one, if not both. You can celebrate Halloween irl complete with hangover or, if wearing costumes and getting piss drunk isn't your idea of fun, a GM event / xp bonus could always happen.

Uhhh where? October in the southwest is beautiful, October in the northeast is probably cold and horrible?

If I were to take a vacation in October it would start on the last day of September.

every time I took off to play EQ on live....

Call in sick (or maybe took the day off legit)
Sleep in
Get up, make coffee....
Go log in...

Aaaaaaand the servers are down until (when I would be off work)

Almost every damn time!

Happened to me in WoW also.... if I take a day off to play, you better believe I ain't gonna get to play...

It depends what you plan to do on your vacation.

For example, I know of a theme park opening in October and it will be packed at first, with huge queues for every ride. If you were planning to go there, I would suggest taking the vacation in November instead when it's quietened down a little.

I'm not in a rush to 50 but I'm just wondering how I am supposed to plan my entire life around launch without a bit more information! :)

Classic feature. I hope they recreate this for us. The mad scramble to lay claim to certain names at char select is worth at least a sick day to me.
