waaat? no fighting? just run around and pickup crystals? dam, what a waste..... and there are like 1000 players on? dam, they must have no life or dont know other games >.<

Ok, i\'m new, but what i did was:
Downloaded the 5 parts, downloaded the runme.bat thingy
installed game, all succesful, then i started the game, created a character, i wanted to connect
and when it came to Loading Map or sumtin it froze, well sorta, everything worked but loading wouldnt continue, so i searched these forums, and found that u have to wiat 2 hours etc, but after 30-40 mins it goes back to main menu and it says it cant connect and i have to go to Tech Help, or sumtin, i tried everything i found on this forum, but nothing helped....
So i tried to run it using dos (start -> run -> cmd)
and this happend:

C:\\>F:\\Games\\Planeshift\\psclient.exe
no CEL environment variable set!
csInitializer::SetupConfigManager failed!
Is your CRYSTAL environment var set?
Exiting Planeshift.  Press Enter...

also when i try to change dir it wont work, i tried cd F:\\, cd F:\\Games and stuff, but non worked, so i just entered full pad, and as u can see it worked, or not...
