Antonica "Black Hole"

[Crass76]

There's an area of Antonica which starts on the Qeynos highway by the towers and extends down to the lower right corner of Archer Woods where no mobs exist.  If I pull a mob to this area it will stop like it it's at an invisible wall and be able to attack me anywhere within this mystery area.  If I approach the area from the east the mobs models get loaded but they are all "too far away", if I approach from the west it's completely empty.  Walking into the cabin with all the quest npcs triggers the models to load, but a few feet from the cabin I get the "too far away" message.  If I log out while in this area I reload at the border point into the area that I crossed.  It's as if this section of the zone doesn't exist to me at all.

This prevents me from starting the first part of the JBoots quest because even if the NPC model loads for the Antonican leg she is "too far away" to ever hail.  I also can't get the discovery or antonica explorer achievement for Archer Woods because it never triggers.

I've never seen a spot like this in any other zone.  I tried deleting any Antonica.vpk (not sure if these are maps or not) and redownloading them, but it didn't fix the problem.  This also occurs on two separate computers, but I did copy the files from one to the other to save time.

Any ideas?

I would definitely advise submittinng a /petition to the gms about this issue.  They can log in on your character, confirm the problem, and help you with the issues this is causing.  This does not sound like a technical issue with your computer.  It sounds like a character or zone problem.
