Starting just today I've been randomly crashing out of game and then immediately getting the "failed to authenticate" error even before having the opportunity to log back online.
It absolutely is not my internet connection (I'm playing from work, which has steady high-speed business class wireless).
Am I the only one and, what gives?
Edit- Also, when I finally can log back on, my character can't run. I have to drain all of their energy and make them get the exhausted debuff before the "run" mechanic will work again. Wtf?
