I had thought that downloading all Microsoft updates would do the trick, and had been unwilling to download the fix that we had been to do! But I finally did it and it worked! Doh! http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en and...

Ah! Forget that - amazing how a final exasperated post can solve problems. I've managed to fix the problem. :yay:

I'm almost giving up!!! I had the dreaded 'configuration is incorrect' error message - downloaded all updates (for my original Visual Studio application) and got onto the launch screen for the first time. Thought 'Great. Everything is fine'. Downloaded the patch...

Shred, burn or origami?

Exciting! How is that going to work? Really reduced visibility? Extra equipment like night goggles? Are addicted players, feverishly typing away at 3 am, going to get even more depressed?

Very good point. I guess I don't know where I'm heading. My driving need has been to advance in crafting without devoting much in the way of resources to it - I deposit for mining, not crafting. So what I've been happy to do is use my own lyst/oil within crafting to gain crafting...

I drop a blueprint anytime I get a mining global (but not where I've just mined!). And my avatar gets to shake some champagne - shame he doesn't seem to get drunk on it. Felix

I'm a newbie on crafting, though much higher in mining. I get loads of lyst/oil easily, so I started crafting with Basic Aux. Sockets. I'm now profession level 7 as an Electronics Engineer. Much to my surprise, I've got one global while doing this - quantity, never quality. My current Basic...

So, the announcement said: The Mining Event that closed during the weekend was not executed with the highest level of quality one should expect from First Planet Company. <snip> We apologize for the confusion that was caused by this mistake. We have updated our internal policies regarding...
