maybe server was down while you were connecting? I couldn\'t connect for some time as well... maybe just try again.

did you make new char, or tried to upload old one?
In any case you might be making your char too slow. Try making new one by \"Quick Creation\" button (it doesn\'t matter for now)
if you want the name of char you already made, you\'ll need to delete it first (if it\'s really invalid)
go here (http://planeshift.fragnetics.com/admin/form.html) to do so

FYI: Initialising World can take anywhere from 1 minute to 2 hours on your first connection. After that, it should only take as much as 2-3 minutes.

The reason it takes so long first time is because the game engine thinks it needs to recalculate all of the lighting variables for your particular system. So, once it\'s done that, it won\'t need to do it again.
