Ok, I've been trying for a few days to create a metaverse character. I have patched to 1.2, have a working stardock account and a valid serial number. I put in a name and the serial and it tells me processing data....then sits there and does nothing. Two possibilities come to mind. The metaverse engine is down? broke? Or I have a security feature blocking it from happening. Firewall isn't a problem as it is set correctly. I'm not sure about browser settings however. If anybody has worked through this problem or knows something to try I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Seth Alexander
