*Attn: Admins* -- My character: temp M.I.A -- bug?

[Nolan]

Hey,

I was playing this evening and logged off. When I logged back in a short time later I got the pw screen so I entered my pw. Then the shard selection, I selected the shard. Then instead of taking me to a character selection screen (I have two characters) It logged me in with the one I'd been using.

It has been my most active character, but It wasn't extremely long ago that I logged in with my other character.

Account name: ThonJermyn
The character missing is Sean, GM Rogue
The character it signs me in with is Nolan, Master Tinker

After waiting 20 mins or so I was able to log in and get to the character selection again.

Didn't know if this was a bug or a server hiccup - either way I thought I should bring it to your attention incase others were having the same problem

if your character is not logged out completly you will not get to the character selection, you will simply log back with the character you logged off. I dunno exactly which house system loth use, but try to log out from your house or in a INN (instant log out)

About loging out from anywhere, there is nothing you can do, its an attribute in the .ini file of sphere called CLIENTLINGER
the default value is 15 (15mins).

So, log out from your house if its doesnt work log out directly from a room in the INN or ask Ironfire to decrease the CLIENTLINGER.

The variable "CLIENTLINGER" is mainly to avoid peoples loging out in a battle to escape... that why they implented it.

Hope its will help

its to do with guard zones, not house/inn

if you are inside a guard zone, u log out instantly. if you are out of a guard zone, it takes 3 minutes to log out (your character stands around idly for 3 mins and u cant control him)

if u log in, within the 3 mins, then u get put back onto that character, with no char selection screen

this is so that you dont get more than 1 character from your account in the game at once.
it also means that if u want to change your character, you should log out in a guard zone otherwise you have to wait 3 mins

also, your character can be killed during this 3 min period, monsters will attack you.
also also, it is illegal to insta-log in town to avoid being killed by other players, (eg on britain bridge) you will be jailed for this

hope this helps. dont ask ironfire to decrease clientlinger, it will just annoy him ;)

well about the house/inn/any guarded zone its all depend how the server is configured (can be enforced).

[Nolan]

ooh! Thanks;) forgot about that thing.

Tho, if i make it into the guarded zone of brit and some PK throws a paralyze spell at me from out of town, i really think it should be allowed to instalog, since i don't really think they should be able to attack those IN a guardzone from OUTSIDE a guardzone.
