Fatal Errors?

Since WOW has patched, have any of you suffered loading issues or fatal errors?

I was alright until yesterday. I only had issues with one toon, which disabled me from playing her completely so I played my other one. Today, started goofing on that one. Map would turn black, icons would disappear, etc.... and then it would close with a fatal error.

Apparently this is an issue with many other players as well.

WoW Auction House remote

Does anyone else use it? I've noticed that when it errors out when creating an auction, if you retry posting, it fucks up your pricing. I just had to cancel two auctions for thick leather because my buyout price per stack was 39GP and I wanted a starting price of 29GP, because people so rarely bid these things up, and it got the buy-out price, but it posted a starting price of 90 silver per stack. If I'd left them up, I'd have been lucky to get 1GP for them, so I just ate the fees and cursed a little bit.

This is on the web version, by the way, not the smartphone app. My phone is sweet-natured, but not so smart.

Anyone?

Font change!

Oh my god, so much joy! You know that godawful-hard-to-read font in your in-game mail, the books you'll find, various notes, etc? The one that looks like this? It's called Morpheus. It's a lovely font, but not the way they use it (for me, at least - it's nearly impossible to read on those parchment backgrounds).

I've learned how to change it.

Exit the game.

Find a TrueType font you do like -- say, Arial. (You can find all your installed fonts in your Windows -> Fonts directory.) Copy it. Make a new folder in your World of Warcraft program directory (mine is in Program Files (x86) -> World of Warcraft) called Fonts. Paste your font file in there, and re-name it morpheus.ttf

Start the game.

AND BEHOLD, READABLE MAIL.
