Alright guys. I am in dire need of help right now. A couple days ago, I was playing FlyFF when the most bizarre thing happened. I logged off the game only to return later than night unable to login to the game. But, this wasn't like a password problem, or a disconnected from server problem. The following is what happens:
1. Open up FlyFF
2. Enter in my username and password
3. Choose my server
4. Select my character and hit enter
No big deal right? Well, after I hit enter, my computer loads for about 5-10 seconds, and then BAM!!, freezes. That's right. My computer freezes completely and I am forced to restart. So whatever. I restart my computer thinking that maybe I was low on virtual memory. I try to go back into the game, and what happens? The exact same thing. So this time, I thought to myself, maybe server 1 is just too crowded and it keeps disconnecting me. So I tried to login to a different channel. But to no avail, computer froze yet again. Finally, I figured that maybe my character was stuck in one of those areas that "breaks" the game. So I tried to login to a differnet character, and BAM!!, the computer freezes yet again.
So now I am completed out of ideas as to what to do. I know its not my computer specs since I have been playing this game for 2 years on the same laptop. This laptop is nowhere near bad and it runs the game perfectly fine on max settings. Unfortunately, my desktop is currently not working so I haven't been able to try and login from another computer.
Anyway, I honestly have no idea what the problem could be. I was hoping that maybe 1 of my readers could assist me or at least point me in the general direction of a solution to this problem. I searched the forums, as well as google and couldn't find any answers.
Hopefully 1 of you guys can help me out so I can get back into playing and get into making the videos that I have planned for you guys. Thanks
P.S. I have also tried re-installing the game and that hasn't worked either :(

Tips For Leveling A Ringmaster
Hey guys. For this post, I wanted to throw a little bit of "tip" to all of you out there who are maybe having a difficult time starting a character on a new server, or maybe trying to level another character. What I plan on aiming at is helping you out with some general knowledge for when the best time to level is.
#1. Look for the right event. What I mean by this is, try to level a new character whenever you know there is going to be an event released that will either increase your Attk, Def, EXP, or have a box drop that is worth it. The reason(s) behind this is because in the times of these event(s), this is when the most players are online and this is the easiest time to find a "plvl" for your assist/RM. Since many players will be online and leveling, especially during an EXP even, your chances of finding a partner to "RM" around will be much greater and your leveling time will double, if not triple.
#2. Play at the right time. Since every server is different with their community, this tip will have you do a little bit of research. What you want to do is find the best time for your server that players are on the most. Usually, mid-day(3-4pm) to early night (7-9pm) you will find the most players on and active. During these times, this is when you want to make sure you are on and constantly scanning through shouts looking for someone that is in need of a RM.
#3. Be polite and make a friend. This, in my opinion, is one of the things that I look for while I am leveling and have another player RMing me around. There is nothing worse, at least for me, that having a RM who never speaks and never responds to you if you ask them a question, or tell them that you need to return to town to sell. Or, what really grinds my gears, are the RMs who constantly ask you to keep killing and don't stop. And then they proceed to ask how long you are going to be leveling for and if you can get them to a certain level. As soon as I see a RM do this to me, I usually tell them that I have to go and I log-off. There is nothing worse than being harassed when you are trying to play the game for fun. Make sure that you say "hello" and "thank you" during the process of being their partner. Also, try to make small talk with your partner. Just because people are leveling, that doesn't mean that they wouldn't enjoy a nice conversation while they are leveling. In all honesty, I prefer it. It makes the time fly by and it lets me relax a little knowing. People really enjoy talking to others, especially when they are polite and thankful. And who knows, maybe you will make a friend out of it and you can be his/hers permanent RM.
#4. Use a Full-Shout. This tip is a little expensive, especially if you don't have the funds from another character. But, that doesn't mean you still can't use one. For example, I have a lot of friends on my server (Lawolf) and many of them are RMs. Sometimes, when I am not leveling, or when I am not using my Full-Shout, my friends will ask me if I can shout for them for a little bit. They ask politely and they don't harass me for it. So, I will usually, 9 times out of 10, say "of course" and help them find a partner. You will be surprised how many people will appreciate your kindness and Full-Shout for you. Of course you will sometimes run into those people who are nasty back to you and tell you to go buy a Full-Shout for yourself, but that is just the way some people are. Just remember, for every person who is mean to you, there is always another person who will be polite.
#5. Don't quit. This seems simple enough, but if you want to excel in this game, you are going to need patience, time, and dedication, especially when leveling a RM. Since RMs nowadays are full-INT, you will not be able to fight your way to level. So, you are going to have to constantly look for partners up to 19 levels higher than you that you can support in order for you to level. This can be quite tedious, especially at lower levels since almost everyone out there has their own personal RM that they will use. But stick with it. Flyff around some leveling areas if you have to and ask people politely if they need a FS to buff and heal them. You have a 50-50 chance of them saying "yes," and if they do, thank them. Being thankful is something people like to see and it makes them realize that there are nice people in this game. However, if they do say "no," don't harass them. If you see they don't have buffs, buff them with what you have, wish them "good-luck" leveling, and then be on your way. You will be surprised how many people will message you saying "thanks" and friend you for being kind. And then they will invite you to level with them.
Those are pretty much the best tips that I can give to all future players out there who are leveling a RM. Hopefully this will help you guys as it has helped me. Being kind and thankful is the #1 key to people liking you in this game. If you can succeed at that, than you will have no problem leveling your RM :)

Different Ways to Reach Me
Well, if you couldn't tell by the title of this post, this is going to be a post about the different ways you can reach me, both in FlyFF and out of game. Don't worry, I'm not giving out my phone number or home address, just various different sites that I use.
FlyFF
FemaleFighter(91 1v1 BP on Lawolf)
This is really the only character that I play on anymore. I haven't started my RM yet, but even when I do, this character will always be logged on in order to buff myself while I level. If you are looking to reach me in game, this is the name to contact me on.
YouTube
Diglio
Yes, I do run and operate a YouTube channel. My friend and I started this channel about 2 years ago during our freshman year of college. We mostly do Let's Plays of various different games, both new and retro. We do both solo Let's Plays and Co-Op Let's Plays. For those of you who aren't familiar with Let's Plays, what we do is choose a game for either a console or the PC, and then we play through it while commentating over it. Our commentary is mostly humorous and we like to yell and scream at eachother. If we do make fun of people, we do not mean it. We do this strictly for fun and we do not mean to harm anyone.
Also, I will be recording some of my FlyFF videos and uploading them to YouTube as well as to my blog. However, they will probably be up on YouTube 1-2 days before I post them on my blog. So, if you want to get a head start on watching them, then subscribe to my YouTube channel. We play games for everyone and I'm sure we have a video game for you.
Twitter
MDiglio
Twitter is a way to find out what I'm doing. Usually, most of my tweets are about new videos that I have uploaded to YouTube, or comments that I have made for my YouTube videos. However, whenever something cool happens, I usually post it on Twitter. If you are interested in knowing what I'm doing, or how my gaming is going on, follow me. :)
LeagueDB
www.leagueDB.com
This is a website for a game that I have been playing since it's beta release, League of Legends. I have been playing this along with FlyFF for the past 1 1/2 - 2 years. This site however, is a new site that I am a part of. What I do is post articles about different items in the game and new champions that are brought to the game. We have a forum section that we are trying to get going as well. If you play League of Legends, or are interested in playing it, you can download it for free (and yes, this game is totally free to play) and play along with me. You can find the download link below along with my In-Game-Name

That is everything I use. If you do end up following me on any of the sites linked above, leave it in the comments and I will personally thank you and say hello :)
Thanks again :)
