Since the patch... My character has pet like swords attached to me and when i go to move forward it is like climbing stairs to heaven. I can move backward just fine, but again, outside I go to top of world. I also have the anchor problem. Eq is not playable this way. I have restarted computer multiple times and waited a day to see if fixed which it is not.
Are you saying you move vertically upwards, when you try to move forward? That is quite strange...I don't think I have ever heard about that before. They are aware of the anchor problem though, just be patient. Edit: i was going to suggest you post in the bug forum, but you seem to be ahead of me there...
