Description: At times, suddenly my character will be unable to interact with the environment. Trying to interact with NPCs or Aetherytes yield the message "too far away". Trying to leave the zone through the blue dotted lines says "Unable to leave the area"; teleporting returns to same location. I can see other players and monsters and npcs (although it seems to be variable; sometimes I cannot see anyone else). The first few times it occurred I was unable to deal damage to monsters. Any time I cast spells, the animation appeared but no damage was dealt or no carbuncle appeared when summoned. The first several times, monsters seemed to be unaware of my presence. However, the past three times the bug has happened, the monsters are able to damage me, although I cannot damage them or heal myself. This has resulted in me dying several times. I have not be able to "get out" of the bug other than to exit the game and log back in (of course with the 1017 error for most login attempts). Upon logging back in, I am generally in the area I was in before the bug occurred.
