Every time I log into my paladin on Lordaeron(who's in dalaran currently) I get a Fatal error which crashes my game. I'm not sure why this is occuring because I was able to log onto him yesterday just fine and I haven't installed any new addons in months so that's not the cause. Anyway, here's the thing:
This application has encountered a critical error:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to a few google searches .blp files are blizzard texture files. I've never even messed with .mpq's that house the .blp's so I'm super lost as to why this is suddenly happening.
OK, so I did some testing. This seems to be a problem for Lordaeron only while in dalaran? Haven't checked the other major cities.
Some things I checked/tried:
1. I logged onto Icecrown and was able to log onto a character in dal just fine and even hearthed one into the city and ran around the city just fine.
2. Logged back onto lord and hearthed my 44 priest to dalaran, which crashed my game giving the same error. Which sucks since this means my pally and priest are essentially unplayable until this is fixed.
3. Tried the ol'method of deleting WTF folder in the wow files etc, I've had that work for some errors years ago. No luck.
And that's pretty much it. As a side effect of losing my priest I've also lost all my caster heirlooms... And with losing my pally loses my main source of money on Lordaeron as it's my only 80 on the server. :3
