Last night when I logged on for the first time, I was told there was an update available, and of course I wanted it since every update I've been exposed to in my limited time here (1 month) has always been better than the last.

When I opted to update, it did something really fast which I could not see, then a DOS box opened on my machine (being as tired as I was, I forgot the first rule which was to write down what it was before killing it off) but the DOS box just sat there and blinked it's cursor at me and did NOTHING. The router lights were not blinking othen than the occasional Microsoft NetCruft checkin stuff (Hello Domain, are you there?). It just sat there for 10 minutes (I'm a patient sort, even when tired) before I just killed it off, went to the web site, downloaded 0.5.2 and installed that over my 0.5.1.

So what's up with that? From what I heard last night while I was in the game (which wasn't for long, thanx to the inability to re-log in), at least a couple of other people had the same problem. This is a bad thing, people.

This is being discussed here:

even though this thread has a more accurate title.
