In this case I\'m relatively stuck on that... 512 MB should allow the world to load.
There is another possibility, however unlikely.
From my observation, it seems that the server tells the client each zone to load. If that packet gets lost, the client won\'t load the zone, possibly waiting forever.

Now this would point at a firewall issue if it weren\'t for the fact that the communication seems to work, since otherwise you wouldn\'t have gotten that far at all.

So just to be sure, you should check if there is anything blocking UDP port 7354 inbound and/or outbound to your computer (like firewalls, routers, your ISP, etc.).

Unless that solves it, it seems to be much like the dreaded waiting on server data (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=16463&boardid=33&styleid=4) problem, which hasn\'t been solved yet as well. :(

Thanx for answering my question

Curiously to get this port free i just turn off my firewall

Sounds easy enough

But i hope to God that this other problem u sent me isnt it

Well should i maybe try reinstalling the game... would it help

You can, just in case, reinstall, as it is always possible that something got corrupted for whatever reason. However AFAICS, it is rather unlikely that the installed version is the problem, but one never knows.
