my toon has plenty food and water, I'm suspecting the problem is with connection, about 15mins into play i get disconnected so I am going to change the framerate to 1.o, disable firewall if it is enabled, I am also upgrading my ISP, I was on dial up with 36kbs connection =( so I'm getting 56k and downloading an accelerator that is supposedly supposed to make connections online run 5 times faster. Hopefully this all works out. The problem with monsters was about 5mins into gameplay, I found that if I logged straight into greenmist jungle I could fight the monsters for maybe 5mins before problems start. My pet also stops following me lol. If anyone has any further advice it would be appreciated.
