well i was hoping the problem would solve itself given a few days, but it seems that's not the case.
to clarify things i created my account the same day that i first created this thread, so my items couldn't possibly be broken, and since i only have the starting peasant gear item requirements aren't an issue.
i heard that there was a new patch? im guessing that is the issue. if so im hoping the problem is handled soon, for me and any others having the same issue, if any.
oh well, i guess prophesy of pendor will do in the mean time.
but i seriously hope this bug is squashed soon. cRPG just looks way too fun.
