Problem with gates opening

[Crystal]

People have been emailing me saying that the gates do not open when they connect to my server. To fix this, wait. My character db server is laggy. I am not sure of the reason why, but if you give it 10-30 secs, the doors will open. You may have to wait 10-15 secs at the character select screen before your characters will appear also. Finally, you may have to wait 10-15 secs after you click start for it to connect you to the game server. Once you reach that point, everything runs as normal. Like I said, I do not know why the character db server is lagging, but if you give it time, it will connect you.

If you have waited a minute or more and the gates still do not open, check your ini files. They should look like this (if you downloaded my client they will be this way):
