The problem with strife animation and jump has been solved now, and it's available on updater.

Is there any chance the strife in sneak will be updated, too? It still has the forward sneaking animation, at least for male Dermorians.

I remember falling to my death on my first day when I tried to find the Bronze Doors. There was a guard standing there and there was a gap in the fence where he was standing. Had to be the entrance to the Bronze Doors, right?

Quite a couple of meters below, I figured out, it probably wasn't. ;-)

Side question...
Is it just me or is it impossible to play Laanx and EPZ at the same time? *wonders*

I think you can if you run both client versions. 0.4.3 for Laanx and 0.5 for EPZ. Just make sure you got different config folders for them.

In the launcher, under the graphics tab, try changing the 2 graphics settings to medium and low. This seems to speed the loading up for me hugely.

I set both to low by now and in 5 minutes of staring at the "loading world" screen the blue progress bar has only just appeared. A tiny teeny bit. It doesn't seem like changing the graphics settings has made any difference.

Sorry, this client is unloadable on my machine it seems. :-/

is he clapping for himself?

If you want something done properly - do it yourself! XD

You might be a noob if... you wonder why no other players can be seen in a MMORPG. OK, it's only the tutorial, but it looks like a town, so where is everyone???

You might be a noob if... on your first visit to the Bronze Doors you think: "Ah, here's a guard, surely he is guarding the path to that place", squeeze through between two posts of the fence (why couldn't they leave a bit more space for passing???) and die from falling down.  (I'm actually guilty of that. LOL)

You might be a noob if... you then think: "OMG - I died, do I have to start from scratch now? All that character creation and tutorial AGAIN???"

I ran into the camp unsuspecting and before I knew what was happening I was dead. I admit - I had not read the warnings. Cause it was night, I didn't even see the warning-thingies in the darkness. And as there is no other indicator of a PVP zone I voted to have it removed. I'm not one for duels or PVP, and I suppose others are not either.

So, if PVP areas are to stay in usually non-PVP surroundings, I need something to make me aware. I'm always prepared for attacking NPCs, but for not getting killed by a player like by a Dlayo [OK, it wasn't with my main char and Kra's a weakling ;-) ]. And with the game growing chances are high there will be more PVP areas coming. And I'm not keen on running into them blindly. So for me this is not just about this area, but the way the game deals with them.

I also support what Prolix already said - if it's a PVP area make the NPCs with quests accessible from outside the zone. I got killed 3 times when trying to deliver an item for a quest. And the outcome of the quest wasn't worth the three trips through DR (or having to tramp all the way back from Gug while suffering from the curse). :-p Haven't even tried to take more quests there though my Kran probably wouldn't mind helping some banned characters... but it's just to dangerous for him. His own life has to come first. And standing around somewhere outside for ages waiting for the camp to be deserted by all players just so I can safely do quests there isn't much fun. And isn't that what a game's about after all?

On a side note: I had the same problem at the arena - I just got killed without having a clue I was in a PVP area. Just pang - you're dead. [Luzino knows who killed him when he was still weak and unsuspecting and he hates this guy for it.] I still don't know if there's a warning somewhere that the area is PVP, I haven't checked, just avoided it.
