the first problem i had: When i tryed to upload my character it froze on the loading, so i read that you could then just connect
this lead to my second problem: It would freeze at the loading of the world, even when i had a cable modem running into a 1.5 ghz p4, geforce 3 65mb, and 512 ram.
the things i did: the first thing i did was turn my color settings down to 16-bit. im not sure if this did anything, but it was what the settings were at when it loaded.
Secondly, i created a new character, this time it didnt freeze after uploading, and i got into the world. With this character i can get in everytime, but with my first character that froze right after uploading, i cannot get in.
I hope this helps at least one person that had the same problem i did. good luck
