It will be pretty tough but try to keep yourself occupied if you have a phone or play a different game while you wait to make the time pass quicker

The UK utilizes a system where 16-18 yr olds go to "college." After that, they go to a university.

College is more likely to help you get on in life than playing this.

So college first, then this.

Yeah, I know it sounds boring, but that's life.

Secondary is generally considered, or at least called, High School. There will be regional differences, but that's the popular term where I've lived. (Also in British TV shows)

Here's the most common (state-funded) route in England and Wales:

Nursery > Primary School > Secondary School (=Senior School) [> University | Professional College]

Most pupils sit their GCSEs (school exams) at age 16. If you wish you can then take 'A-levels' (advanced school exams), usually at age 18. Some people go to 'sixth-form colleges' to do their A-levels, others simply continue their schooling at the school where they also sat their GCSEs.

Of course, there is also the private route:

Pre-Prep School > Preparatory (Prep) School > Private/Public School [> University | Professional College]. Private schools do not have to offer GCSEs. Instead, they can set their own exams.

Since this is NOT an MMO, I am curious why it matters if others are playing already or not?

I have no problem waiting and I have over 4 hrs to go.

I'll try to make you feel better thou...

Maybe a... :cookie:

I've come to expect poor interfaces from them. There are other games in this category that do it better and make combat simply better. But what I would ask for, is just make the whole UI modifiable. The user base would come up with a proper pc ui. Think something like WoW's UI. I'm hoping there is more control for major overhauls to the UI, not holding my breath though.
