Ahh..downloading more content. 16MB
Did that, now  'the download program is preparing to start'
nothing, still stuck

Game playable, no downloads
now it goes to login
Tadah! character selection
'you are running a new version and have interface modifications that are 
out of date'
Disable
...Ohh

grief
My humans, they look...where is a bucket ?
Okay, 'disable'
Well there it is
Popup of what's changed,request button to start Quests for patch events.

Accept, just accepts, no location change.

FPS is  higher, I guess the graphics..but it is very jumpy, not smooth.
Talents are intact,but glyphs are messed, some new glyphs, buttons are 
all over the place and missing.
Omg, the numbers, they are so small :-)


This will take a while, so go out and fly around
still very jumpy on the graphics
No , that's it , they have all gone panda yompity
