I'm quite unsure on what to say. Starting from around 5PM last night, I've been freezing up when I log into alice. I've already added Code: -XX:permSize=32m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m to my JVM arguments, and that did no good. A few other things I've tried are restarting my laptop and reinstalling java. So. When I log into alice, the whole game just freezes up, and starts saying that it's "not responding." This doesn't happen on singleplayer though.
Seems like it's worth a try. Do you have any clues as to what causes this? EDIT: I successfully got myself to spawn with a pearl already. EDIT again: I seem to have been able to resolve this, dunno how. Though, my basemate, bigbadpig13 still seems to be having this problem still.
