Hello

today i was disconnected suddently during raging bats.
Suprisingly disconnects happens each day one time for me.
Normal that means, i try to login, then i get message, that i am still login, and then i must repeat to login to get back into game.

Suprisingly disconneted -> i close client -> 1st relogin try -> server saying, i am still playing -> 2nd relogin try is successfull

Today i tested the time period, when server noticing, that i was disconnected.
So after diconnected, i relogin with 2nd account and waited until Ginaria disappeared. And after unbelieveable 17 minutes server noticed Ginaria was disconnected.

Is that normal!?

Sadly, yes. That's normal.

There are many ways you can be disconnected and some of them cause the server to think it's just a temporary hiccup. When this happens it keeps the connection open hoping your end of the link will start responding again. 17 minutes is a bit long but it can happen.

Perhaps TMW should implement a ping system much like what IRC servers use.. The client could also behave a bit more smoothly when it detects you're already logged in, giving you a button to click to retry instantly.

Happens to me 75% of the time when switching characters on my main account. Strangely it rarely happens when switching characters on my secondary account.
