Sent in a ticket to Blizzard support, will be shocked if I hear back. Will be astonished if they fix it and will be extremely inclined to purchase.
The only other thing I can think of is that due to the location of my despawn, I'm fuxxored? In my email, I asked if they would try to get my character moved back to town so I can try it out, no idea if that will work.
Welp, back to killing Zombies, Skeletons, Giant Spiders and Creepers in Minecraft for now.
I'm going to learn how to place rail and make powered carts as my next project, I think. Should be fun to build some roller coasters (ok, and some utilitarian stuff too).
