Disconnect on Death

[John Adams]

Do an advanced search here for "Disconnect Death" and you'll find many threads discussing this. But in summary, it's a known issue and you are not alone.

That's a "feature" that's implemented so people get a taste of the harsh reality that is death...okay maybe not...but I had to try.

I was told it happens when you die in the same zone your bound in.

People have different experiences with this. It's not always the same. Like my toon can log in, move a few steps, then sit and camp no problem. But if I zone and camp, I am disconnected.

I think dev knows about this one.

personal experience is that it doesnt happen if you use a seperate machine as your server... but it happens almost all the time if you are running the game on the same machine as your server.

I have found a workaround but it's just as annoying... if you static your zones it wont drop world, thing is that you will either need a LOT of ram or keep yourself in a small area between gameloads...

to set static zones (since there is no help file I could find) use the http command console included with the server... if you dont know how to do that... well... download my Apophis Edition of the server it has info for all these kinds of things.

Case in point, my world/zones are always on a remote server, and I crash on death/camp after moving around a bit. I haven't tested this with static zones yet, but all my cities are static now so I'll give it a try.

I can confirm. While playing on the same machine as the server is hosted, if I am bound in the zone I die in, I go LD. If I am bound elsewhere, everything works just fine. I have not tested this on a machine that is not hosting the server.
