why can i only do 1 thing?

it is not my energy that is limiting me I have 23/15. I go to the marsh area 1, I explore, I find a fish, turtle, etc. I kill it, I explore, I meet another animal, it wont let me attack even though it says I get the 1st attack, but I can use my power to kill it, so i do, then I explore, and I am back to the 1st thing I found, to rekill. (if i try to run away the game times out) I get no exp, no further in the quest, but bounce back and forth between the 2 "encounters" At this point after a week of playing the game I am possibly 30 seconds into the game, and will be quitting if I cant find out why I cant play. I do not have multiple versions of the game open timing out my session, so I dont understand what is happening. It did this to me 3 days ago I went to buy a weapon because I kept getting bounced back to the 1st fish, I bought the weapon, then every time I equipped it the game time out. 2 days later I come back and the weapon is equipped. I am not behind a proxy server nor a dynamic IP pool.
