Toon doesn't respond to movement commands

One of my toons can no longer move. Before you tell me to do a stuck report, no, I am not stuck :). The problem is not that my character moves, but goes nowhere. Rather, there is no response whatsoever when I left-click somewhere or press the arrow keys. Even when I rotate the screen, my character doesn't rotate with it. My toon just stands in the same place, staring in the same direction. No movement whatsoever. I have checked my key bindings and they are all on default. What's more, I have another toon that moves perfectly fine, so it is only this one toon that for some reason cannot move.

In fact, the toon that is suffering these movement issues can basically do everything else. I am able to teleport to different places, interact with things such as mailboxes and npcs, even get on my mount (although not move on it). Before this happened, I was simply afk while merit farming in siege and then for a few minutes next to the guy that gives the butterfly daily in xaviera. When I came back, my toon could no longer move. Has anyone ever had this happen before and know a solution. I would like to be able to do more than stand in place :).

Tried swapping gears and changing classes. Didn't work :(. Has this happened to you before?

Perhaps you could try renaming/deleting the character-specific profile under your "My Documents\Runes of Magic" hidden folder?

It does happen onces in a while for me, my toon would just froze and can't move or attack. I will switch from my main gears to my death gear. After that it will be fine.

If changing gear doesnt work, open a chat window and say something. I don't know why that works for me, but it does.

You (or someone else) must have changed interface hotkeys settings for that toon - or it even can get corrupted whole file.

As suggested before, delete profile file in Runes of Magic directory under your documents folder in windows. (It might be hidden - to enable to view it in my computer windows, click alt (to view menu if not showed), go to Tools >> Folder Options >> View (tab) >> Under Hidden Files and folder select 'Show Hidden Files, Folders and Drives'.

While you do this, make sure you don't have RoM client running. Start client and load character, let us know if you still have problems moving your character.

Why not simply try a relog?

9 times out of 10, just un-equipping my weapon and then reequipping it does the trick for me. The other time that I have to do that is when I'm standing up riding my mount, or stuck in a Warrior's Surprise Attack or a Knight's Charge animation whenever I'm running around on foot.

I assume that should have been tried before reporting a problem in forum, don't you think so? :)

This happens to me mostly when in Boss fight, trying to talk to friend at the same time, not very smart idea... trying to cast flame, and nothing happens... :D

Aw shoot. I did what you said but no folder with my toon's name is showing up. I realized that I still had client running while I was doing this though since I was trying some of the other stuff that people suggested. Now I can't get the hidden file to show up anywhere, at least I didn't find it. Was it because I had my client still running and is there a way I can still get it to show up?

BTW: Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Opening up a chat window didn't help, neither did switching gears.

Yes, I have tried relogging, even restarting my computer. lol.

The problem is not that I'm stuck in a stance, and I can still cast all of my skills and engage in combat. I even dueled someone and won. I can basically do everything in game other than move, if that helps.

I can't help you find the folder beyond what others have already said, but I would focus on that because it sure sounds like the issue. Especially if you had anything going on in the background while AFK -- like importing item preview, pet crafting, running another copy of the client, or anything else that would use that settings folder. It's weird how the game engine works, but movement itself even goes through the script engine (why botters are able to do what they do in some cases), so having some messed up lua/script files can cause all kinds of fun issues.

If you haven't already tried, you might also disable all add-ons. The fastest way to do this, and most likely to resolve any issues with them (truely disable), is to rename your %program files%\Runes of Magic\Interface\Addons folder to something like "Addons.disabled" or "_Addons", then restart client. Once resolved, just rename back.

Aw man. I figured out what Romage was saying and found the folder in my documents (I was looking in my C drive program files before), and deleted it. I just logged on though and my character is still unable to move. All the hotkeys and everything were gone so I know that deleting the folder worked, but it didn't fix the movement problem.

Also tried disabling addons but that didn't help either. This blows. :(

Sorry to hear that did not fix the problem. Is this problem only on one character or all of them??

Usually once I have problem with add-ons, I would completely delete everything in RoM folder, start one client and setup the way I wanted it, then log out to save new settings and log in with other clients.

One more question - when you hit Esc in game, then select Interface Settings, is box 'Server Save' (or something like that) checked??

Yes this is only on one character. I have a character on the Artemis server which works perfectly fine. I have another character on the Osha server which can do everything other than move. I tried reinstalling the client yesterday but this did not fix my problem. Server save is not checked.

I'm not sure that this is an add-on problem since I already deleted all of my addons and the movement issue is still occurring. I will try what you said though. When you say "delete everything in RoM folder", you mean the one in my documents right? After that, just start the client again?

Yes, shut down client, delete everything from Runes of Magic folder under document folder, and start client again.

This will reset all your add-ons and remove any customization to screen/game you did.

I did this last night, after I added scrutinizer all my add-ons went crazy on screen. Hate when that happens, and I was too lazy to save that config file before.

Don't forget, once you start client, set one character the way you like it, exit game. This will recreate all needed files, and that client will be template for other game accounts/characters.

I don't use it myself, but I know the Curse client has an auto-update option. If you have that or anything like it, make sure it isn't automatically putting stuff back for you.

Didn't work. My guess is now that it's something in game. I just don't know what could have happened when I was sitting afk merit farming in siege that could have caused this.

Is it always the same position? Toon does not respond to mouse command? (have you disabled that)

Try to enable and move with mouse.

Do you know how to go to system settings >> interface >> key biding (or something like that - recalling it as not in game at the moment)

One thing to try is to have someone (or do it your self if you can multi-client) duel you and kill you.

A "Stuck Report" would have the same effect...

I remember now having had this issue at an early stage in the game when I had crashed in the woodlands of Qilana.
I logged back into the game standing up and could do anything I wanted except move.
After 15 minutes playing with settings, I noticed my HP was 0/whatever and I'd clearly died to a mob attack just after the crash before the server realised I wasn't online.
Only after I switched channel did I have the prompt to press a button for a resurrection...
