Has the fire from the sky stopped falling?

[Roland]

<ctrl-v><enter><enter> a couple hundred times before it took - next, create hero button just grayed and sat and sat - next, it timed out several times - a couple dozen tries and LOCHNAR LIVES!

Either it's clearing up because people are giving up or they're getting the servers worked out.

Congrats. I'm stuck at Error 3006 every time after Retrieve Hero List, which I'm concerned is from timing out while trying to create a character when I initially got on. We'll see.

Edit:
Now it's timing me out after completing the Hero List retrieval. Progress!
