How to Give a Player a Panic Attack

[Willowdreamer]

Wow. I thought this was a great April Fool joke but ... posted yesterday D:

Nope - Aaron's still there. It's more like a Freaky Friday thing where the stars have to align before the bodies can be swtiched back.

I was hoping for April fools day joke as well, granted it'd be a pretty cruel one.
What did they update visually in code that mESSED up just about everything? It's wild to me. I'd be wary even playing on the wizard, because even though they claim visual whos to guarantee your data is syncing. I wouldn't do any hard farming.

Really surprised all these cropped up after live update, and not prior, makes me think they changed something last minute and instead of properly testing just pressed "push" to live.

Yay, Victoria came back just now. Thank you, whoever flipped the right switch!

@Willowdreamer, I am very glad to see you have Victoria back. Thank you for the warning.


I wonder if that same glitch is what my lvl 46 Ice wizard experienced yesterday. I had logged on to make a few runs and I had one of my other accounts open as well.

I opened friends list on Ice and it showed me that all of her friends were online, which was impossible since she has not friended any other players outside of my 2 main accounts. After a couple of exits to the character page, the list cleared but it was a bit strange.

I'm also glad you got her back, and yet...
This may be another example of one glitch escalating to others and even creating new ones. @Sparck, are you and KI seriously listening/reading this and all the other glitch problems?

Do you know what is really sad? This happened in the Test Realm, and it was reported. Yet, it still made its way to the Live Realm.

i briefly checked my main account and all is fine. I know i played last night until 8:40 pm EST and all was well .

If that so? If it was, I never heard of it before Willow sounded the alarm.

I would say that perhaps there wasn't enough people who knew it was a problem, but if even one person complained of a glitch of this magnitude it should have been a huge red flag to KI that something very wrong was happening.

KI's insistence on quantity over quality is really starting to show, and I'm very upset as a longtime player that this is becoming the norm. Test realm has one purpose, and that is to test. Not just a preview, not just a sneak peak, but first and foremost a place to allow KI to test what is coming. It is to identify glitches of exactly this scale and magnitude and remove them before they can affect our actual characters. The fact this this didn't happen here is a fundamental failure of Test Realm as a system.

KI needs to apologize for letting down their guard and allowing these bugs to make their way to Live realm. I will not be a happy customer until then.

Aaron moved over to my second account this morning, replacing a Storm Wizard on that one. Sheesh, he's persistent.

[Dylan Windwalker]

I dub thy the Aaron incident.

I'm wondering what causes this problem. I haven't encountered it yet myself.
