So if you see your char and hear the music you\'re in-game. Maybe you\'re just lagging/low FPSing, if you wait a couple of minutes, can you play then?
Or are you just using the wrong keys to move? ;)

Title: Housemate shares same issue
Post by: DrGoo on January 05, 2005, 02:30:53 pm

Hi, my house mate is having the same problem... She gets past the login screen (with her email and password), but the character selection screen doesn\'t respond to clicks... She can\'t select a new character, or log in with her current one. No error messages, the button simply doesn\'t do anything.

She can exit the game using the \'quit\' button however. The music she can hear is the same music as for the login screen, not ingame music.

I have char same problem on one char.
Another one does work fine.
Maybe it\'s because i haven\'t specified last name?

Valid point... my housemate doesn\'t have a last name on her char either

Hi, I created a new character today for my sister.  On her first connection with the character she got a linkdead error.  Now she is unable to get past the character selection screen but my original character goes straight through.

Lastname or not has nothing to do with anything. You no longer are \'required\' to have a lastname.

I\'m assuming everyone here has tried restarting their clients or waiting a few hours before trying again?

Title: yess
Post by: Habitat on January 06, 2005, 07:11:20 pm

yeah ive restarted it a bunch of times

Like I said, my original character will go straight in every time.  Hers won\'t.  And we\'ve rebooted, waited, etc etc

I\'m having the same problem too.  After I made my new character I got in fine, but an admin was saying that the server was going to be reset to fix a couple of files and that we should try to log back in in a couple minutes.  I didn\'t try again for a few hours, and now I can only get to the character selection screen and no further.   I hear the music and all and hear the click sound when I click on the buttons but nothing happens.  I let it sit for about 15 minutes and still no change.

EDIT: I just uninstalled and reinstalled and now I can make a new character, but I\'m still unable to get past the character selection screen with my first character.  I haven\'t gone through trying a different character yet though.

Can someone help? Remeber, people have been mistaking us for hearing the IN GAMEMUSIC! NO! We are hearing the login music, and I\'m pretty sure its not lag that is the problem. I guess the meaning of this post is \"bump.\"

And yes, the first thing most peoploe think of is whether or not we restart our client. IT JUST DOESN\'t respond. I\'m not even able to create a new char or even go back. Just quit.

I tried making a new character and radomising everything.. that one works no problem.. but the first one I made (Name is Kampai with no last name) still can\'t enter the game.  That would be the one that all my stuff got transfered to also  X(
