Well...I'm another member of the select group who can't play the game because I can't leave the town of Valeia. As noted by Stoopid earlier in this thread, equiping any kind of headgear also drops to the Windows Desktop.
Here are my machine stats:
* AMD Athlon 700MHz
* Windows 98
* 128Mb RAM
* 2.5 Gb free disk space
* Diamond Stealth III S540 (32Mb)
* Creative SoundBlaster Live!
I hope they fix this soon. I'm really tired of creating characters.
Speaking of creating characters! Here's what I've been doing while waiting for the patch!
I created six characters with stats sufficient for
* Warrior Barbarian
* Warrior Ranger
* Warrior Samurai
* Priest Paladin
* Rogue Ninja
* Wizard Warlock
Then, I immediately ascended the Barbarian, Ranger, Samurai, Paladin and Warlock. (I don't know where to promote the Ninja.) After that I equiped each character with maximum gear (except headgear). Now, you may be wondering where I got all that money. Well, I found a bug in the program that lets you accumulate all the mony you want. Here's how...
Go to the Inn and create the characters you want. Be patient and roll stats sufficient for the Elite Roles. Now create five dummy characters. Don't spend any time on them because all you're going to do is have them create an endless stream of money for your real characters.
Now, create a party with one real character and the five dummy characters. Transfer all the money to the real character. Dismiss the dummy characters. DO NOT DELETE THEM. Just take them out of the party. Now put them back in the party. Notice they have refilled their moneybags. Just have your real character take all the mony again. Now repeat as often as you like.
Since I can't do anything else in the game I took the time to ascend all my characters, except the Ninja, and purchase the very best available equipment for evryone (except headgear).
Well, it's not as much fun as playing the game but it's something to do.
