Issue addressed on the TWR forums, bump. c:

Hey, Samantha!That is quite odd, A reason for this could be the fact that your computer may not be able to handle the map's actual size, or that you have a texture pack downloaded that could possibly be conflicting with the files (We've had this happen before.). Recently, however, I have updated the map to Update 2, lowering it's lag and such as a whole a great deal. If you search on the forums, hopefully you can find a solution, I apologize if the map may not work for you.
I'm registered on the site and have got the game downloaded, but i've been having trouble getting into the map itself? I can get into the tunnels just fine, but whenever I try to get into the main map my loading screen freezes and eventually comes up with the windows error saying that Feralheart has encountered a problem and needs to close. Any idea of how I can fix this?
This doesn't mean remove General all together, to be honest, when General was open as a channel, I saw plenty of people posting movies to advertise, the thing was that both General and Movies stood out from each other. As of right now, Movie spam does nothing but make half of us lag out of the game and it isn't really accomplishing anything, yes, it's still a way to advertise. But it definitely does not do as good of a job as General did, mods should have consulted with the community before doing something so hasty.I really, REALLY don't support this decision. I mean, I tried to be open-minded about it, but... At the time you guys removed it I was just going to start a new rp, and now it's nearly impossible to effectively recruit. I used to be able to find four or five people within two-four hours, but now it's an all day effort.We understand where you're coming from, Longjump, but I don't think it's good for RPs to rely solely on General to advertise. I do know of other roleplays (some of my own friends, and also some who have posted here in this thread) who are still recruiting successfully, and they've done this by using different recruiting tactics.
For one thing, I suggest utilizing movie clips every now and then, while also even sending out your current members into different public maps (especially hotspots like SP or the clumps of activity in Ficho) so you can spread word about your RP across FH. And then, of course, your current members can send any RP samples, etc., to you so you can give it the yes or no.
And also, you said you were recruiting for hours on end? O.O
I've found in the experience I had in my two year-old wolf RP that you don't want to recruit for more than an hour, or an hour and a half, maximum. When you do any more than this, any new members you might've had will get bored while sitting around for hours, and won't even get the chance to RP before they have to go to bed, or lose interest altogether. I'd suggest recruiting at least 2 or 3 new members (or until you've reached an hour of recruiting), and then going to your map/RP spot and roleplaying together for a while, this way your new members will get to know your group, get into the story, and want to come back. Always keep them interested, and they'll always want to come back. :3 "Keep the show going," if you will.
Those are just some tidbits, but it's still very possible to keep your RPs going, and started. I hope yours picks up, too. c:
Yeah, I realize this, but the other point is, General is just that, a General chat, you can't disable it because you have people talking on it like they did, very poor decision on their part. Too bad they can't just make another channel, that'd fix a lot of problems.I agree with this kind, and I'm quite happy. The General Chat always were made to advertise RP's, not to chat. It is a good idea, less "lag", less spam, more time to read the phrases.
I quite have a good idea.. (Suggested by Devynex in-game) Why not a chat called "RP Advertisement" and other "Eternal" (to chat)? <--- quite a bad name, I know xD
But well... I think people who will blame are spammers.
Unfortunately, Raz and the staff weren't left with any coding for the game in order to make more chats. They're having to work with the game as it is.
