Mutliple chunks unavailable over the weekend

[Corlin]

Build 1838. Many of the chunks south and east of Ahgram crashed and became unavailable all weekend. Tried the following with multiple chars: Cragwind Ridge, Razad, Jathred's Twist - they all create a crash to char select. On top of that it's an odd char select screen as the choice of chars is there as normal, but instead of the circle with four pillars, your camera angle is high, you only see the top of one pillar, and no char at all (regardless of which you pick). Trying to rotate the view doesnt work either. IF you re-enter the game from this state, you will not have guild chat. When you up-chunk and crash to char select, best to just continue on to desktop and start all over again.

Same problem here trying to enter wardship of the sleeping moon and the swamps south of it. Tried to enter numerous times from different aspects, I get server timed out after 15 seconds. as well, every other time, I have an invisible mouse pointer, and the no chat also includes test as well.

Noted that I had a few problems not far from Veskals exchange, got stuck in some sort of "invisible box"...no matter which way I moved once I had walked into it I couldn't get out, til I finally found an angle (I guess??) that allowed me out.

Crash to desktop yesterday due to equipping or attempting to equip an old mask from prior to release. (my fault) But I noted several things. One my ui seemed to be all squashed toward the bottom of my screen, went in fixed it and this time locked it in place hope it stays now.

When I crashed, landed in character select, with not only the character I crashed with, present ..but some male character in newbie clothing which is odd because all my characters are female. Interesting.

This happened again (two chars showing on the char screen at the same time) on a crash to desktop after I had a few freezeups going through the pass near the side entrance to Bordinar's cleft. Boulderman yeti ..all standing on the rocks, grey to me..but must have all agroed at the same time as I came up the mountain pass. Had about 5 freezeups and good thing I am not a newbie character or I might have died due to all the agro. That area just before the cave where you rescue Bodo(?)'s daughter..seemed to have a memory leak or something that wasn't normal.

Other thing I want to note is yes I reported all thise, Microsoft crash menu came up when I poofed directly to desktop. It was reported there as well as in the bug report ingame.

More......

Why is it when I haven't logged on a character in say...a month, I come back to find that their health bar is like almost gone. I always log off in a safe spot. Yet my characters on test and in the live game, seem to lose about 3 quarters of their health.

Not only that..when I log back in they seem to be standing in defensive mode rocking back and forth on their legs as if they have agro, yet nothing is around to cause that ..that I can see?

Anyways...thats the end of my lonnng story. Would be nice if there were some answers and possibly fixes.

I only get the sideways male extra char (or sometimes by himself) at the character select screen when the server is down.
