Tonight I logged into my bank alt to clear his mailbox from AH-mail and stuff my other chars sent him. Oddly enough I didn't get a "you've got mail icon". Now I wasn't 100% certain I had sent him anything or that I had posted anything on the AH. I just logged in to make sure.
I perused his bags a bit and found a Primal that I thought I might as well sell while I was on that char. So I ran towards the AH (Stormwind mailbox -> AH) and noticed something peculiar. A NE Hunter had an Undead mount. The buff said Deathcharger (now that I think about it, it's probably one who ran Strat UD and got lucky). I inspected him out of sheer curiousity and I noticed two things: his (actually: her) name was "Unknown" and every item I moused over showed "Retrieving Item Information".
Now previously Swatter had caught an error from some Auctioneer-module so I thought that had something to do with it, so I checked my addons (using an addon for that, so I don't need to log out). Then suddenly BAM! back to the Login screen. "Disconnected from server".
Every char I tried had the same thing. Bad tooltips (only my own gear worked) and several unknowns. Not everyone, but about 10%. Even removing ALL of my addons did nothing to help. I can also not chat in any form to anyone.
Even on my WotLK beta account the very same symptoms. Surely, I think, the problem has to lie with me. But yet, to be on the safe side, I'm asking here: Anyone else getting this?
Next I will attempt rebooting my PC and then my router. Maybe one of those'll help...
EDIT:
- My PC had installed windows updates the night before, but I had let it stand there w the "Your computer needs to restart" notice because I was downloading... something :tongue:. So I thought I'd give it what it wants and rebooted. Result: No help, but the backgrounddownloader did pop up after quitting the game
- Maybe my router was doing funky things: I unplugged it, let it sit there for a second or three and plugged it back in. Result: No help.
Maybe my laptop will fare better. If nothing else it'll serve as a pointing finger to the guilty device. My router or my pc.
