Hi everyone, 

A new patch is being released shortly. There were some key reports that helped us identify very specific issues that players were experiencing with the play button being grayed out. This issue was tied to account names that started with a hyphen. This was a very unique scenario and we appreciative of the players who continued to send us reports that helped us identify this problem. 

The new patch should be deployed within the next hour. 

A new version of the software was scheduled for deploy sometime this week so you got unlucky and visited during that period. 🙂 It will happen every month and shouldn't take very long, the process is handled by Invision who manage/run the forum software.

When you open up the Deconstruct window and right click anything in your inventory it auto-sorts between what you can deconstruct and what stuff should be deleted.  If you drag and drop the window will highlight which area it can be placed in.
