Trying to play the Beta

Monday, July 30, 2012
Tonight I tried to play the beta. I heard the harvest moon was implemented and I wanted to see for myself.

NO, I did not misspell farmville.

Anyway, I got a series of disconnects. Of course it's a beta, but I was still bummed. My first three went without comment. Why bother, but then I decided to have fun with the 'what were you doing?' message.

11:30 (Paraphrased)
Well I was eating some magey cake after a battle with some thuggish rodents who are terrorizing a farm village. I think the game is telling me to diet.

11:32
So I was running from my interrupted mage picnic mentioned in my last DC, and boom another DC. So first, don't eat the cake, now it's don't go jogging. Too soon after eating? (Mixed messages here Blizzard!)

11:37 (after taking the time out to start the post)
Was walking off my cramp from too much mage cake, game crashed. yes that's right walking! Hit the / button and everything. No idea where to go from here, can't exactly float away. (Chubby pandas need diets remember?)

11:41
Went to mount, got another crash instantly. Going to try floating again. See if that can help. Sadly I am not a priest. Is this a hint?

11:44
While pondering my non priest like powers it occurred to me to blink out of what is clearly a crash zone. Happily I was able to avoid crashing for a full two minutes! Got to run past a herd of thuggish rodents who were the reason for my initial cake indulgence in the first place. I turned to look to try and tag one of them quickly before they got out of range and this proved to be my downfall! The game had a fatal error. Crashed to desktop for what will be the final time of the night. For now I am logging into Rift.
