The Hidden Forest

I have a slow connection...using internet through my Android. Be that as it may game play is usually ok but I find in Shadowed Grove that my HPs fall to about half when I zone in, not just when I die. When they are at half, responses from the NPCs are generally slow or non-existant. The banker and some armor NPCs remain active so I'm not LD. Any ideas?

Are you low enough that the ~2khp bonus from the aoe auras would double your hps? That would make the hp bar appear to halve. Also, with certain clients you will never appear to regenerate these additional hps.

Vale and Guild Hall are good alternatives to the Grove.
