Very annoying bug

[Daikin]

I am having a problem with a bug, everytime i leave the town and start travelling down that road I get a good ways up it and then out of nowhere i become link dead, then I log back on, only to fall THROUGH the ground and die from falling, which brings me back to town, and this happens everytime i try leaving the town.

Hell...at least you get o LEAVE own before you fall through he earth and die. I\'m standing at the rainer guy by he ower, training a skill...go linkdead (big surprise...I love the message...check MY connection? Nothing wrong with my ISP here)...but anyway...so I\'m not even moving right? Then log back in to find not only have I died from falling (through what\'s supposed to be solid ground?), but lose all my experience, and then I notice my progression points are down from 16 to 8...but when I look at the skill I trained the other eight into...guess what? Never happened. Overall though, it\'s the same annoying issue. Go linkdead, log in, die from falling, lose exp, time spent playing, and progression points. Maybe they should remove falling damage/death until that issue can be fixed?

This has been discussed before, all comes because the server does not save all the characteristics of a the characters very often (witch is logical and saves CPU load), so when de server crashes all that has not been saved yet is lost, for example de PP.*

So, to have everything correct, each time you get a PP or do something important exit the game and enter again, when you log out all is saved correctly, this applies also for the respawning point, go to a safe place (or just use /spawn to come back to the plazaa) and then log out. Next time a dead link occurs without having saved youll respawn there.

I hope all is clear:P

* Now I see in the CVS that PP are saved each time you gain one.
You can check for some fixes and updates there:

Just four minutes ago, I played the game for five minutes straight in Hydlaa Plaza without crashing!!!  I know that\'s not much, but it\'s a definite improvement over the usual five seconds.

On top of that, I logged in three times without falling through the floor!  Work is definitely getting done, and improvements are definitely being made.  GO DEVS!!!
