Orcs and Rockhome

Post by Azrael102 » Wed Feb 09, 2005 7:42 pm

Today I made the journey through delgos to get to rockhome. Might I add that the trip is beautiful and its a pitty there is little reason to travel the area. Well anyway I find the magic portal and attempt to travel to Rockhome to do some shopping (I have heard I can pick up a ring on holiness). Well the loading screen appears and then freezes. So I quit and try again this time joining staright to rock home. Is this caused because I am an orc ang rockhome does not allow custom races?

Hmm it may be related to the Wemics not finish loading for Rockhome and Glantri.

I have the same problem. My load screen indicator moves about an inch, then my game freezes until I finally shut the thing down.

I've reloaded all the haks, I even rolled up a Rockhome character and tried again, thinking it had something to do with the transfer of my character files.

I have a Changeling that has a wemic and centaur as forms to copy. When I went over to Rockhome, the list had changed from:

1. Elf
2. Wolf
3. Wemic
4. Centaur
5. Minotaur

to

1. Elf
2. Wolf
3. Continue
4. Continue
5. Minotaur

There are certain races, that for whatever reasons, are not recognized on Rockhome. If you are a Changeling do not select them. As soon as the servers crash, or you log out, or you attempt an area transition, if you're in one of these non-forms, you cannot get back into the game. The loading screen will just hang.

I'm betting the Orc is part of that list too.

This is obviously

1. A bug, or rather several bugs with probably the same source.

2. A Rockhome/Glantri/Mystara problem which we will not be able to do anything about Avlis-side.

The only way to get it fixed is to head over to the Mystara boards and make bug reports there. I'm sure the Mystara team would very much appreciate to hear about these issues in as much detail as you have provided here so they can try to fix this.
So much fun,
yet so little time to enjoy it.
