Stuck at Loading...

[h1o]

Hey I made a two characters, I get my body, items and a name. Then I walk to the ladder click it and a black screen comes with the ui on top and Loading... in the center of the screen. I just keeps loading, this game must be damn big or it is not working properly. Please help me!

You're most likely seeing this problem. The fix is still in the works.

[Hippie]

I'm a new player and i have the same problem.
After im done with character creation I see the interface, minimap, clock, picture, all the bars and so forth but i cant see the game itself.
I can see some black lines to the left on the minimap and the cross that i think is my character and it moves around when i left click at the black loading screen.
I have been contacted by another player in game. and i think was able to speak to him or her.

Im sitting behind a router and i have found something about blocking ip packages an disabled it. But what happens then is that the game sucks all the bandwith i have but nothing happens. All else i can do is open ports but i know nothing about what ports the game is using. All i know is that it uses a UDP protocol or something. i dont know so much about that stuff.

I hope this problem will be solved soon so any player can play this game. i myself is really hyped to try it out.

Good luck!

EDIT:
I have managed to walk to a part of the map that is loaded and there i can see. But its only a small area i can move around in without the loading screen reappearing... very odd

EDIT 2:
I studied the other topic at the above link and i tried to forward port 1870 from the games IP 213.101.208.103 to my pc's internal IP and the router logs says this when i have the game running:

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX = my routers external IP

Comment: I think it drops the packet because of the destination to my router. I have tried to change from my PC's internal IP to my router's IP with no difference.

Comment: The default rule drops all incoming packets.

Thu, 2009-07-02 11:37:43 - UDP packet - Source:213.101.208.103,0 ,WAN - Destination:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,0 ,LAN [Drop] - [Big Bomb]

Comment: Big Bomb is some kind of attack according to my routers firewall. I do not know what it means and no one seems to know when i google it.

EDIT 3:
After further investigation (*cou-wikipedia-gh*) i found out that there is one kind of Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack called Nuking. And a nuke is a big bomb. I wonder if Big Bomb and Nuke are related.
