I didn't have success with pake/alissa on EU either, getting the ESL error mentionned some pages before too.
Would be very nice if someone could explain a bit better what to do :/
I got crackshield since someone pointed to that, but I don't know which files belong to what and are necessary for pake/alissa to work etc., nor which causes the ESL error, and neither where to get the right client.exe...found a thread with a r95 one but password protected without password and..*cry* xD
I just want it because NPCs on EU are dead again, and with no monsters on macha for a month now, now you cant do anything anymore??
I saw you said you think talking to the npcs got fixed togepi (what an irony that would be, they dont bother to fix the bad bugs, but fix such things?) but it didnt get confirmed so I'd want to try at least...
