Hi

 

Just bought the game today and thought i would give it a go.  Clicked on multiplayers and selected some official eu server with 7/8 players.  Anyway 15 mins later and the game is still loading i think saying "Setting initial values, Raising Mountains" etc.  Is this normal?  Its been 15 mins already..

Thanks in Advance.
