A few questions

[Stella Ruby]

The lag is really bad right now in-game and so I was eaten twice by alligators. Although I did see something really cool when someone defeated an alligator.
At the moment I'm trying to train my cutlass but I don't appear to be getting any experience points. Do I have to go out of the building and fight to gain points? Because beating up on the dummies isn't doing it. And because I have only level 2 of one of the sword moves I'm getting a good kicking by the bad guys. I keep waking up in jail!

Also, is everyone having a problem with the little screen on the left hand side at the bottom that shows your health? Mine continuously has the cutlass experience area above it all the time and that takes up alot of screen.

How do you exit out of the game? I'm having to play in window and then X out. Isn't there an exit key somewhere?

I asked this before and didn't get a response: Does anyone have a direct link to the beta site that gives us our game tips and update information? When I try to get to it from the link in my email I get the "enter your key" page and when I enter my key it says that number is already in-use. Can someone pm that addy to me?
