SERIOUS! Tutorial (Defending Shaemoor) stuck!
You can go around the fort (either side, but it’s easier on the right side) and get to the area in which the elemental is supposed to spawn. If that doesn’t help it progress, then:
- Eventually, that instance will become empty and will be closed.
- In the meantime, you can guest to another server (best to try the most populated one) and retry; you’ll almost certain end up in a different instance where it is working.
Sorry you are having this trouble.

Doesn’t help. I already checked the whole instance earlier today (like 10+ hours ago) to see if the tamini-champ is still there or anything like that but there aren’t any enemies on the other side of the fort. Only those on the side with the closed gate.
And I highly doubt that those instances will ever be closed automatically as they don’t seem to use the normal overflow-mechanics. Looks like those instances are the only ones that are still server-bound.
And guesting helps but IMHO it should be fixed ASAP because new players usually don’t know about guesting… and imagine starting a new MMO and you can’t even leave the tutorial.
They follow mostly the same rules. It’s just more unusual for them to become too crowded, so they probably despawn less quickly than other instances.
Anyhow, glad that guesting fixed it for you and I agree, they should fix whatever it is that bugged it out in the instance you identified.

Just tested it – the IP changed to 206.127.146.85 and it works now….
They should really add some kind of watchdog so at least the tutorial-instances should never be able to get stuck like this…

Good idea. Be great to see that for any dynamic quest that has gotten stuck often enough to generate multiple reports.
