0017: Able to see mobs but unable to see other players

Description

From the first time logging into the server, everything appeared perfect. However, I realised quickly that I was not able to see other players. I can see all mobs and I can see mobs fighting, but I cannot see the player(s) that are fighting that mob.

There were two instances when players briefly appeared suddenly in front of me before going invisible again. In each case, I was not doing anything in particular which could have triggered the appearance / disappearence (was auto running between Howth and the Guard Tower for the level 1 Quest from the Guardian trainer).

Reproduction Steps

I am not sure how to reproduce the bug, but my settings were configured as follows:

1. On the splash screen after loading, I chose the graphics settings for Best Visual Quality.
2. All my character models were set to Classic, except the Horse which was set to Catacombs
3. Trees were set to Atlantis and reflective water was enabled
4. My clip range was set to 'Far' and all relevant graphic related settings were set to maximum quality.
5. I am playing from a Windows 8 Alienware 17, with an Intel i7 2.8 Ghz processor, 16gb of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M graphics card

Intended Behavior

I tried relogging but this did not solve it. Honestly, I do not know what is causing this error nor how to induce it, but perhaps by creating a level 1 character with the above configuration could trigger the same bug.

The screenshot I attached shows a water beetle larvae fighting an invisible player.

Hope this helps - thanks for the great work!

Evidence

I think this section is self explanatory - players should be able to see each other in game :) Also, players who I interacted with in game did not appear to have the same problem that I have.

As I have to provide a link, I am showing a classic screenshot of one player seeing other players.
