Somehow it looks like everyone is having a problem with this. I am very reluctant to play now because I cannot see my or my foes name, rank, title, i can't see how much damage I've taken or done, and that is very irritating. If I mouse over someone to look at their name i only see lines.

Not to be rude, but PLEASE FIX THIS IMEDIATELY.

Good news young wizards!
Our excellent team of sorcerers have located the bug and should have a fix very soon! Please be patient while we get this spell together

I realize the game is online and playable but are the wizards any closer to fixing this issue? Can an Admin please post progress and resolution here so I don't have to keep logging into the game.

-Thanks

I have been emailing Help concerning this same problem. After going back and forth several times, I was told today that they are aware and working on this problem. Also I asked if some type of consideration will be given to the members for days that we were unable to function correctly. I don't have a response back on that yet.

Let's hope this issue is resolved soon.

Please know that our top Wizards are working very hard to resolve this.

Malistaire has targeted very specific people with this attack and it takes special potions and ingredients to create a spell to fix this distortion.

We're getting closer and closer to perfecting the spell, but we don't want to cast it without testing it out first.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Please know that you can at least turn off the names of other players until this problem is fixed by opening your Options panel and selecting 'Non Players' or 'Show None'. This will turn off the names, and until this spell is perfected, please check your backpacks for new items you receive from duels and encounters.

Thank you for your patience.

:D It looks like it finally fixed, but still no word on whether they will give us extra days on our subscriptions or maybe some special card because of the problems we ran into. They really need to do something for us because I only played a few times while this glitch was occuring.

It's not fixed for me, I still see nothing but lines. I have even closed out game and re-started it and the problem is still there. I guess I will just have to turn off all names since I can't read it. I hope to get a fix soon.

Sir Reginald Baxby stayed late into the night to hunt down this problem for our players. He's a keen hunter that one!

Seems that he may have discovered the source of the bug thanks to all of you who sent in your input. We couldn't have done this without you.

Once Baxby is sure he's cornered the problem, we'll let you know when to expect a fix. This was a nasty elusive one! Thank you again to all the Wizards who sent us their dxdiag information.

I can't wait until this is fixed. I just hope it is done before the next area is ready. I am waiting patiently. :D
