Forum:Events are not occurring.

Hi there. New to Terraria, and I seem to have stumbled across a bug or glitch of some sort.

It all started when I broke my first shadow orb. Soon after I received notice that the Eye of Cthulhu had awoken, at which point I teleported home via Magic Mirror (it happened when I was exploring the other edge of the world). Cthulhu did not attack me, and I went about my business. The next night a Blood Moon event occurred, wherein half of my NPCs died. I thought nothing of this at the time.

After finding a gun and buying loads of ammo I figured it'd be smart to fight the Eye now, so I summoned it. The battle was not going my way until a shooting star happened to fall and hit the eye. I'm pretty sure it lost 2000 life, or so. I quickly mopped it up and went on my way.

The night after that I was informed that a meteorite had landed. I spent the next half hour or so scouring the entirety of the world map looking for the meteorite. I found none.

In the following days, my npcs did not respawn. Furthermore, my Dryad did not spawn, though I have plenty houses that meet the standards.

Figuring that my world had been corrupted, I started a new one and set about to building a new town with that same character. Much to my chagrin, none of my NPCs have spawned, regardless of every need being met.

In short, I seem to be having trouble spawning both NPCs and events.

What should I do? Is my character corrupted? Should I start a new one? I'd be sad to do so, but I'd prefer it to playing a broken game. Please, I'd love any suggestions or tips you can give me. Thank you.
