I need some help on a few things...

[Kusai]

None of the characters, PC or NPC, are visible. Their names appear above their heads, and every once in awhile their armor or weapons will appear, but other than that the characters themselves are invisible. Can anyone help me out with this?

Also, my computer got a 2800 on the benchmark test and I was wondering what are the maximum settings that I can get away with. Can I enable MIP mapping, Bump Mapping, smooth environmental animation, etc., etc., or should I just keep things at the default setting?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

I think your problem with the characters not appearing is mostly due to ping/lag issues. What kind of connection are you sitting on? As far as your computer performance, I can't exactly tell you. I'd just recommend testing it.
