43 Year deseter debuff...

[Tsuki]

So, I waited about an hour for my LFR que to finally pop- WoW crashes.
And this is the eight time since yesterday.
ANd yes, I reinstalled and everything.
FINALLY get it back up, and... 43 year deserter debuff... I'm hoping it's just a display bug...

EDIT: Yep, display bug. I can que right now, even with it being all SHAME ON YOU FOR CRASHING.
Scared the HELL out of me though

Strange you should say that.... The other day a friend on my real-id list logged off and it said "last on line 43 years ago".

Any time any of my friends log off the next time I check, it says "last online 43 years ago" as well. Wonder what's the magic thing about the number 43??

WoW's internal calendar starts at year 1970, like many applications that are based on Windows-derived architecture. When it can't find the start of a period (deserter debuff, log out date) it assumes (for display) it was at the very beginning of the internal calendar, thus 43 years ago. Yes, it used to say "42 years ago" last year in similar bugs.

Huh. Well that explains that then x3!
