No error message?
Are you logging in to the Laanx server? Not the local host.
The Laanx Server usually has numbers with it. the Local Server usually has \"fail\" next to it. If the Laanz Sever says fail, that means its down.
Are you certain its freezing? I note that with my system sometimes it takes forever for a region to load or even the log in screen to load, it appears to \'hang\' for a while at different pages.
Try this:
Go to C:/Program files/Plain Shift/plain shift set up.
Make certain that the resolution is set to your computer screen, That you are runing on a decent depth for your system (I personally prefer 32 bit) Leave the rest alone unless you know what you re doing

DO NOT put it on Full Screen, keep it windowed. Click on launch then wait. If it appears to hang or freeze, look at the window box title (Plainshift Crystal blue(0.3.007)) See if it also says \"Not Responding\"
Also when you start the game look at the numbers of the title. The latest (as of 6 March 2005) with the updater should give you the following numbers:
\"Plain Shift Crystal Blue (0.3.007)\"
Are you certain you have entered the right password? Are using your email address not just your user name?
Click here to register Are you certain that the server is up and running?
BTW If the site is down then the game is down. Meaning if you get the infamous \"The page cannot be displayed\" it means the server is down.
