How often are you guys changing servers that this is a major major headache?
This is assuredly a bioware issue, perhaps related to the size of our haks, but regardless.
Take a break, shut nwn down, visit the facilities, eat, walk the dog, start it back up, make a coffee, kiss your significant other, return to game.
Just saying in the grand scheme of things, even if it took 10 minutes to change servers, it's all worth it eh?
