On your first connection to the server, it may take as long as 2 hours to log in. This is because the game\'s engine needs to recalculate its lighting variables to your system. This is a one-time-only occurance and you should subsequently be able to log in in a matter of seconds. During the Initialising World phase you should not disturb the game in any way- by mouse clicks, alt+tabbing, ctrl+alt+del or similar. Just leave it for 2 hours and it should load.
If it doesn\'t, then you have a problem and you should post about it.
