would be better to have some sort of time limit... 10/15 minutes? no server is perfect.. you'll have a lot of pissed of Taos and Wizards...

Yeah I think this sounds like a good idea.

Logged out for 15min or more = dead.
At least then a random disconnect you don't lose the pets.

^^^ This, loved how Jamie had something along the lines of this for deeper into cave disconnect so if you was deep into a cave and disconnected u had 5minutes to get back ingame and you wouldn't be kicked back to 1st floor.

Hardcore just like euro hah.

The amount of times I spent ages levelling my skele to level 7 and my mum would go an use the phone... NOOOOOOOO.. Least lagging out is a rare occurrence these days :)

i had BT 2 hour disconnect when i played mir and i made a tao >.< i think i had a level 7 skele once....

i could look into the 15 minutes time period because that would be good to be honest.

i also like the sound of that pfft ill see if i can implement something like that aswell. shouldnt be too hard (he says)

You could do it by adding a new property to the player. Call it disconnectTime or something. Do a time stamp when the player/char disconnects and the compare that time when they log back in.
If disconnectTime < DateTime.Now.Add(-5) then kill pets or tele out of dungeon. (The pseudo code might not be exact but you should get what i mean :p )
You could use the same property for pets and dungeons.

so started to look into this and its already coded into the files. just need to alter a setting in the setup.ini

this is now set to 10 minutes.

so now pets will save for 10 minutes after diconnect/logout, any longer than this and they will die when you next log in.

pets dont last forever on my watch :) (taos pets do) but wizard pets untame.

i used to remember wizards taming pets off other wizards, just to tame them back so they gained max tame time again ^^

okay its not as short on my server as the max 2hours on euro, i think its about 6 hours at max level of skill. might be more i cant remember but its longer than euros original times

some really terrible ideas. i think your trying way to hard to make people try and grind. i do not see how any one would enjoy solid none stop grinding for 1-2month to not even get lvl 20 odd. i dont see were any fun would even be involved .

A wizard or taos pets being lost on log out. Is were i stopped. i love your maps and designs ect but over all in terms of interest does not appeal at all. Ive just this sec had convo with 8 others on disc all agreed would be completely boring and not worth. just my 2p great looking server tho just bad ideas.

there are 100's of people who would hate my server.. its not for everyone.

back on topic the map reconnect is done. if you disconnect on a map that would otherwise teleport you off you have 5 minutes grace period before this kicks in.

video below was set to 10 seconds for ease of testing.

I'm pretty sure Sanjian makes servers purely as something for him to play and enjoy, anyone else who plays is just a bonus :D

i cant see how doing this would actually benefit any player? lose agro okay fair enough but the mob is still in the area after you log out, then by the time youve loaded back up its going to be attacking you, if your pking for a boss you log you lose all claim and the other group/player gets the boss, you log back in yeah you could be a dick but you still cant log with 10 sec browntime unless you force quit the client.

if enough players play it and it becomes an issue its something i can address
