Monday (10 Dec) - Battle Net Error #112 You're Files May Be Corrupted

When I logged in this morning (Monday), the Blizzard Launcher had an update to run. It was a small one, and should have taken less than a minute to load. Something went wrong, however, and the installation failed in a weird way - the download stream apparently got choked off and died before it was completed. So, I restarted the launcher and got an error message that the installation file might be corrupt. I then deleted the suspected corrupt file and ran the launcher again. This time the install ran with no problem and I was able to login - well, not exactly. I got a Battle Net error message stating that I was about to be forced into the Battlenet Support website, where all problems go to fester. I had visions of being forced to reinstall the game for the second time in the same month.

Deciding to ignore Blizzard's dire warnings, I ran the launcher for the fourth time, and logged successfully all the way into the game. I think Blizzard is just playing with my head.

The Tuesday maintenance is a long one this week - 1am to 11am. There are a number of hotfixes going in, some of which reduce some pvp stats. It's mostly just bug cleanup, though.

Fist is going to be taking it easy over the holidays. There is a lot of real life activity that is cutting down game time. Wild's raiding guild, MM2, will be disappointed, but Fist will not be joining them any time soon. In addition, Fist just hasn't felt the call to take the step up into dungeons or raiding. She may very well become a full time farmer with the Tiller's faction for awhile, and work on her Dailies now that she is level 90. In addition, Fist will feature prominently in the year end review coming up, and that takes time to research and prepare.

Fist's mother, Naithipe, has been asked by the Wild Family to consider leveling again. Naithipe is a Blacksmith, and the family would benefit from building up and maximizing that skill. Naithipe is considering entering into the PvP challenge, even knowing that it would bring her out into the open. By now, though, Naithipe has to believe that her true identity is pretty much an open secret. A Death Knight pvper is not exactly unique, and the birth of her daughter has altered her harsh outlook on life to a considerable degree. That said, Naithipe has no reason to change her "straight at you, kill or be killed" approach to pvp, or life, for that matter. Whether she will be able to adjust from her very solitary lifestyle to a more open one ... well, time will tell.
