since the latest update PS loads but after I select my character and join the game it crashes during the map load - I get a dump file (please email to planeshift developers) but I don\'t know where to email it too, and I dont know how to host a file and link it to these forums

There seems to be an economy problem in the current version of planeshift, that is experience is easy to come by but money is not - there are basically 2 ways of making money to train your skills, mining and killing rats.  Killing a rogue gives 3000 xp / 15 PP and no money.  To train 15 PP you need about 600+ trias which means digging about 100 gold ores - no problem, however today the devs imlplemented a new rule that a character may only carry 10 gold ores at a time this means....

*to train One level of crystal way a character must make about 12 trips back and forth between the magic shop
and the city to accumulate the moneys, so mining skill is now Useless!
*All characters will congregate in the sewers and elsewhere hunting only rats

It doesn\'t seem to me to make a good game if we are all rat exterminators and gold couriers.
I have some suggestions,

*Gold ore (and other metals) could be slightly more expensive, say 10 trias per ore
*higher level monsters drop money or some valuable body parts (tusks, furs etc) somewhere in line with their experience
* bugs are fixed where some high level monsters in certain areas fight back, docile monsters add to experience/money imbalance

 In my opinion, before mining was a highly boring part of the game, neccesary because of disproportionately low monetary payout of monsters
Now mining is simply impractical and useless.
 Sorry for being negative, but I don\'t want to constantly harvest rats in the sewers as my hobby *sniff*
