Title: Duplicate character in Death Realm - DR
Post by: Arheos on January 13, 2006, 03:30:37 am
(The Subject is detailed for future searches)

After leaving the DR I discovered that a duplicate of me was still trapped there.
Read the following because I think it\'s funny and it describes exactly how I found out:
(The names have been changed to protect the innocent)

Felda tells you: are you having fun down there?
You tell Felda: down where?
Felda tells you: you just cast a spell yes? i\'m up above on a causeway...
You tell Felda: on the rocks?
Felda tells you: i am up on one of the causeways... i\'ve never found anything interesting besides the views down there.
You tell Felda: can you tell which way I am looking?
Felda tells you: i can\'t see you... actually i could only see your spells.
You tell Felda: oh well I can\'t see anything of you
Felda tells you: type \"/die\" and meet me at the death guardian.
You tell Felda: I don\'t wanna die right now
Felda tells you: OK. but you can\'t get back up here other than by dying.
You tell Felda: Alright, now I am sure you\'re talking to the wrong person...See I am not in Hades right now
Felda tells you: that\'s totally wierd... i wonder if we should bug report it? i saw a figure casting a few spells and the mouse-over said \"Ariana\" so then i started yakkin\' with you. go figure!
You tell Felda: [I was troubled because I was casting spells so must\'ve been a bug, you still see me?]

And then I got chucked out because the server crashed.That was on 11-01-06.
The only detail I can say is that I fell down and died inside the Death Realm just after the left turn to the end of first causeway (before the left/right entrances). I fell down and slid a long way down and I could see myself sliding down and down ... and then I was standing at the bottom I think while still turning around myself!
After that I respawned, got out and it should\'ve been at least 20 minutes that I stayed there (until server crash). I was on my way to Ojaveda and that person talked to me for about 15 minutes.
Excuse the long post and I surely hope it\'s not reported before because I looked a lot.

Well, you are reporting some already known problems:

- Falling damage does not work reliably in the Death Realm. If you fell off a bridge down to the \"floor\", you should probably die - but many people survive it and stay on the floor.

- \"Ghost avatars\" sometimes appear, it seems that some clients (of other players) don\'t get informed that you already left a zone, and stubbornly remember you somewhere. I even saw pets of players who quit the game before.

But nothing to be ashamed of, some topics are hard to search if you don\'t guess a good query.

Thanks for ruining it for me, I thought there was something there (the \'ghost avatar\' not the \'superman-fall\', that I know of).
All this post, all this typing ... the expectation for what? for nothing...
*sulks*
I can\'t face the DR again... ashamed.
I\'m going back to take it out on the Trepors...
