I'm not sure if it was just me, or if others have experienced this, but I've just recently started playing SoD, and found that any time I manipulated the stacks of newbie food or newbie water that I was given, it caused me to disconnect. I could pick up a stack of them, but then when I dropped it into a different slot, it would appear to be both in the slot and still on the cursor. If I clicked anywhere with that "phantom" stack on my cursor, I would get disconnected to Character Select.
