Quin figured out my issue by checking my system log...

I had major issues with crashing during the open beta last week.  So much so that I upgraded my video card.  My old card was an ATI and apparently just did not like the game - I crashed often.  I have had other problems with that ATI and will never buy another.  But so far my new NVidia card has limited my crashing to a rare occurrence.

Hope you get it worked out ...

Weird, it is a Thursday.  If I am not traveling for work, I will be very tempted to take a 4 day weekend.  *crosses fingers*

Now to decide ... CE or not to CE?

LOL that is pretty amusing.

Oh agreed.  They are THE SLOOOOOOW.  Hell by the time they put their game out we will have bought a house (hopefully)!

Blizzard has too much power to handle it appropriately or something.  Hire more people folks.

I hope you feel differently then, Perr!  I am looking forward to the many different 10 man dungeons we will have to explore, instead of repeatedly downing undead in KZ.  I hope the others from up in WI are interested enough to come back for a bit, too.

Man, those Weight Watchers cards were great!  Quite disgusting really, but very funny!

INTJ for me.  Pretty sure every time I have taken this test, I have wound up the same, though I bet the percentages have changed a little over the years.

Introverted (I) 68% Extraverted (E) 32%
Intuitive (N) 55% Sensing (S) 45%
Thinking (T) 55% Feeling (F) 45%
Judging (J) 59% Perceiving (P) 41%

Congrats!  That is so exciting for you and your son!  I am sure that you will be the coolest grandma ever

I am intrigued by the puzzle aspect.  If it is done well, it might be enough to make me play a game like this.  In general I am craptastic at FPS games.

Congrats!!!

LOL.  If I were to ever meet a female dragon, Navith, especially one with an egg, I would warn her about you

I like the Moose hat idea.  Or maybe a penguin suit (which I am sure does not fit the feel of the game ... but pegnuins rock).

I have to add here that I feel like their biggest error in this entire process was their technical support.  I had major errors beginning the game, and the solution to my problem was not on the website.  My husband helped me to fix it, but it left me with an extremely bad taste in my mouth.  If they had gone through the effort to at least document many of the problems on the official site (apparently mine was actually a major issue in beta), I may have given the game more of a chance.  As it stands, they have lost my business.  The official support site was decidedly poor.  Very small and incomplete.

OK, I am done with my complaint.  I expect problems with the launch of an MMO, but there is something to be said for at least recognizing that they exist and attempting to provide folks with a way to fix them.  I really don't like to be the grumpy customer.

If you had a GOOD experience with a problem from AOC, I would like to hear it to regain my faith in the folks in charge of this game.

Anyone?

Nice!  CafePress rocks

My biggest issue in terms of looks on Breyna is that fr the longest time I could not figure out what the weird dot was on her nose (I doubt you can see it in the pictures).  Apparently, it is her nose ring.  But you can't really tell that, just looks like a mistake.

Ordered on Feb 17th.  Arrived on May 27th.  I think my wait was longer than usual, but at least it arrived.
