Can't finish loading game to unstick myself

[lppurdy]

Hi
    I guess this is a common issue these days, (hopefully, resolved in a future fix)

    Please be kind about my wording of objects and events since I am new to the game.
    I just emerged from the tunnel in the large cone shaped peak on the road towards
    the Bronze Door Fortress. The game crashed and I haven't been able to load the world
    to do a "/unstick" , since.

               I get the error:  "Exception_Access_Violation at 0041DE86" on Windows XP Pro SP2
               Character name is: "Derel Purogis" If more info is needed let me know.

    I believe I need someone to move me to an "unstuck" location, before I can login again
    with that character.

           Thanks for the help!! signed, "Derel"

This is the same problem as this http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=28658.0

The MOTD warns about bdroad2 (that it's crashing ... especially in the mine area ... "steer clear of it if you can").  Unfortunately the advice on what to do if you're stuck is cut off.  They'll ask you to create an alt, type "/who game master" and petition someone on the list to move your main char.

Greetings Nicana, Thanks for the reply.

I've seen the MOTD, but am new. With no map available, how can I avoid a place, I don't know the location of !
The Masters of the Game, would be advised to Post something in the forums to better provide details for those
of use who are new. That way less people get stuck. -- Question for anyone: I assume this BDRoad issue hasn't
always been a problem. What happened? and how come there isn't more info about this issue on the Forum except
avoid BDRoad and people asking for help because they are stuck?
Again thanks for the advice, I'll create a new character login and cry for help to a GM !

Dere,
Well, it was addressed already in the other thread (because you're already technically "in the game", this problem belongs in the "IN GAME problems" section?? ... not sure) ... but lol, I know what you mean about avoiding places that you're not aware of (although whoever told you about the mine probably referenced it as "the bdroad2 mine"). 

Btw, I've crashed there four times ... three times heading toward the mine.  From what I understand (and I am NOT a programming guru) the problem has arisen because of some changes that were recently made to some of the monsters (for version 019) ... they're working on stabilizing the area.  They've told me to "stay tuned to the forum".

Nicana, thanks again for communicating about this.

   It helps when forum members help each other. Believe it or not I don't know about any mine. My character just went out
the gate and down the road. Although when you log in, it warns about avoiding the "bdroad2 map area", I didn't know the
"bdroad2" map area, from any other area. As far as I know there is no map. I don't know if it would be good manners or
staying within character to go up to a player and ask "Where is the bdroad2 area?" or "Where is the Gold mine?" Find of
takes away from the fun of exploring !

   What would be VERY helpful, (and I'm not being critical here, I appreciate this free MMOG (the first one I've explored) and
all the hard work the unpaid volunteers put in), BUT, it would be good to host the known good production version on one
Server and any alpha/beta unknown quality versions on a 2nd server, there would be plenty of volunteers who would help
with the alpha/beta testing ! That way they could just restart the primary server with the known good version and put more
work into the alpha/beta version until they were confident the major bugs have been worked out. I am sure that all the users
who are getting stuck and all the volunteers who provide support would appreciate something like this arrangement in the
future, I've recently looked into MMOG's and a lot of Online games operate in this way.

  If you say that this is not an INGAME problem, even though you have logged onto the server and "the world" has started
loading, (but failed to load), you are probably correct. I will take your advice and be better at posting to the proper forums.
My topic would be better dealt with that way.

Nicana

I did just look at the "IN GAME" Support Topic and it says in the title "(After the world has Loaded)" in the Title. I'll look around
like I said and find the proper Forum.

                                                   Thanks, DEREL
