[Poll: is your machine modern-era or E&B era?]

EVGA 8800GTS 2.5 GB video ram

3.0 system RAM

Duo Core 2.4ghz processor (both cores OC'd to 3.0)

I believe that counts as blowing E&B away. Gaming is my life. So much so that I'm in the process of going to school for gaming design and development.

[Character created, cannot log in]

After finding out that character creation was broken I left and did a few things around the house and such, only to come back and see there was a patch! Awesome! So, logged in and created my character. The character appears in my list now but I cannot log in. The proxy.exe thing gives this error.

>> Login Check: Login FAILED

login failed, go back to the login screen

Error receiving header on port 3500, error=10053 -- aborting

TCP connection on port 3801 closed gracefully

Any help would be appreciated? I only learned about this today and really want to play the game again!
