You know when you begin the Lunar Events? Well, if you ignore it, not only will it stay, but it will sink underground very slowly.
Ok. so:
1. I left the world after beating the 4th (Solar) Pillar to avoid any extraterrastrial trouble. I forgot to pick up the fragments.
2. Right now I am beating the Solar Pillar (again, the last pillar) but a Solar Eclipse happened so I stopped dying from Selenians and went home.
Enchanted Sundial has been used so I couldn't really do anything. I went Mothron hunting for money. By now, the last pillar had went down a few blocks so I got worried. Did some progress on the pillar, but not enough. Then, on the next day, ANOTHER solar eclipse happened. I figured it was lucky, but that soon became a nightmare. The last Pillar (still sinking slowly as ever) was untouchable with special mobs, solar mobs, Mothron and a giant Crawltipede working together to guard it. Nighttime struck, and oh wow golly a Blood Moon happened and Terraria lagged to 10fps so I couldn't really do anything except AFK. On the next day, you guessed it, a SOLAR ECLIPSE AGAIN happened. I now consider this bad luck. The pillar was now halfway into the dirt.
This has gotta be a glitch, what the hell I have enough Eclipsian loot to fill 2 chests I don't need anymore. Please help.
