Anyone know why?
Have you tried waiting for about 20 minutes? I found that the plaza takes an age to load, and an age to get out of, simply because there\'s that many people in there, the fps is so low. I\'m running a G3 iMac with 384 Mb RAM and a rather poor ATI Rage 128 with something like 16 or 32 Mb of VRAM and a 300kbps cable connection, I\'d expect the loading to take longer on this machine, but it only seems to take about 5 minutes, perhaps a bit longer, but when you\'re in there, the fps, pretty much anywhere except in a few places like the DeathWorld and the dungeons, is very low. So my advice is to sit it out, although it may just be that your computer froze. Which MacOS are you using and what are the other specs of your machine, barring a G4 processor, for example, what speed G4, how much RAM, which graphics card and if you know how much VRAM it has (in case you don\'t already know you can find these things out throught the System Profiler in MacOS 10 (all versions), which is found under Utilites in Applications, and I think there is something similar for Mac OS 9.)
Hope that helps,
