The technical issues surrounding it are going to have a negative halo effect on D&D Insider perceptions. Right now, having the app up is doing more harm than good. Pull it down, leave a fan page with developer information, stabilize and load-test the thing, then put it back up when it's more stable. Otherwise something really cool is going to deter 4e and D&D Insider adoption.

Interesting interpretation, I would have said the excitement and extreme demand amongst those who perhaps haven't heard of D&D before is doing great for increasing interest.

I was playing it this morning, or I thought I was. Maybe it was all a hallucination. Maybe you're all hallucinations. Oh, kark. Spiders. I hate spiders.
#7 mudbunny Sep 03, 2008 9:37:03	I suspect that the new host that WotC is using for Tiny Adventures is soon to become another old host that WotC was using for Tiny Adventures.

Slacker!! I just need to remember not to let myself solo without me watching me solo. As a wizard, I tend to get my a** kicked more often than I'd like.

#12 kistra Sep 03, 2008 16:10:29	The application is definitely working. I just retired my Elf ranger. But I do have a question, with 8 characters why are only two of them female?
#13 Cendragon Sep 03, 2008 16:16:15	I'm really enjoying it and though it is annoying to constantly have it crash I have been patient and sometimes hit reload 10+ times before it worked again. I'm glad to hear that Wotc is aware of it. The main downside was when I was watching my character and when he had only a few hp left I tried to drink a potion of healing with 7 minutes left until the next encounter, but it wouldn't load again for another 10 minutes and by that time I had failed the subsequent encounter and died.
#14 nitan Sep 04, 2008 0:40:05	Things seem much more stable now and I'm having a lot of fun.
#15 kistra Sep 04, 2008 7:29:40	Becuase they took the Class-Pictures form the PHB and would surely not make new ones for Tiny Adventures. Wasted money, that would be... Eh, they wouldn't need to make new pictures. Between the race and class chapters of the PHB they have examples of both males and females in every class.
#16 nowiwantmydmg Sep 04, 2008 13:49:46	Thanks for the linky, you guys rock. Also yes there should be more female characters. I'd like to choose my race/class/gender but that might be asking a bit for now.
#17 brugo Sep 04, 2008 14:01:31	its a fantastic thing to do to waste time at work already on my second hero.
#18 jimbo7987 Sep 05, 2008 4:49:17	Anyway to play it without going on Facebook? I refuse to join Facebook for a variety of reasons but this does look cool.
