There\'s been several fantastic idea\'s that I\'ve seen in this dialogue so far, and I know how much work any of those would be, anyways, I\'ll offer my two cents worth now:
We all know people camp spawn points, heck even I\'ve done it, but I try to share and if I can, I group up.
As a rule of thumb, I leave the group when it gets too busy and look elsewhere.
Now, One thing I have considered revolved around something I believe I heard before in this dialogue:
a person manages to obtain so much loot from a monster, after so much, it\'s loot drops in value until it stops yielding anything, or gives worthless loot along with minimal Progression Points.

You then have to make so many kills elsewhere to reset this (meaning you have to run around a bit).

Another option would be similar to the mining deal:
You get loot from the monster once, you then have to kill/obtain loot from another monster before you can get anything from the first.

Not sure, but I\'m beginning to see a pattern; there is a known bug with Nvidia cards that can cause crashes in advanced 3d games/programs, I found that when I used to play Halo online a coupla years back. They had a bugfix then, but the newest updates make it redundant... and the option settings for the latest update may work for Halo etc, but it seems pretty useless for Planeshift.
I think I\'m going to get a new card for the machine I\'m building and try something other than Nvidia, maybe it\'ll help.

create a temp character and ask a GM to move the specified character to the plaaza, I\'m about to try the same since my character\'s stuck

Edit: I managed to get the character out of ojaroad by using an older machine (it can\'t play the game, because its too old) but it does open a possibility:
what kind of graphics card are you using? I\'m beginning to see a possible pattern and am beginning to think its a fault clients with Nvidia graphics cards, mine\'s an Nvidia FX 5200 with 64MB ram built into it... yours is?

I had a similar problem and Androgos had the following bit of advice:

A few debugging commands and I\'ve got following:
open pssetup.cfg and change the following line:
System.PlugIns.iImageIO = crystalspace.graphic.image.io.multiplex
to
System.PlugIns.iImageIO = crystalspace.graphic.image.io.multiplexer

(add \'er\' to the end)
Save and try again

It worked for me

I\'d love to give you a system dump of whats going on, but I can\'t... I\'ll elaborate:
I updated to the new version (can\'t use bittorrent, so I had to leave the machine to its devices on that one), it seemed to work tho...

I tried running the game, but the screen was offset and in a window (locked in place)
I shut it off and went to planeshift setup tool and my machine locked up. Tried three times and got nowhere... Help?
Oh, I almost forgot, I run on windows 2k adv server.
