So you continued to erm greet him for a good five minutes, remind me not to say hello to you
And the last time you said hello to me was... when?

what about more tests? could you please try challange someone and after that fight him in dr?
This bug should be easily repeated by anyone who wants to confirm it. I welcome you to try it; if you need someone to kill, I can provide you with a target if I'm online.
You know, the bugtracker really isn't that hard to use.
What are your problems with it?
I'll note them.
And a bug is only a bug when it's duplicatable.
The bug tracker is scwary. Are you saying the bug isn't duplicatable?
This sounds like the issue is simply that PvP status is not reset on death, but only on time.
Yes. I think it's the result of Caarrie's solution to the abuse of the PvP zone. People were staying on the edge of the zone while firing arrows at people they wanted to get rid of or harass. Caarrie made it so that if you deal damage to someone, they can attack you for the next five minutes or so. Now, I'm not positive that her work is responsible for the problem, but it's a likely candidate. It would be an unfortunate side effect of an otherwise good fix.
Has anyone else noticed that whenever a bug is reported, Caarrie seems to get right on top of it before many other people even hear about the problem?
