So you were bound on server A. Died on server A. Went to void on server A. You were booted from server A. Logged back on to server A. And are still stuck in the void on server A? Or is there another server in that equation?

You were supposed to log on to "server B"  Where you were bound after you were booted.

I was bound on same server as I died.

oh, I didnt think you got sent to the void if you were bound on the same server.

My mistake.

Edit:  Also it seems odd that you got booted if you were bound on the same server.  Did I miss something in one of Orth's posts?  or is this a seperate bug?

The system thought he was bound on a different server and thusly was booted.  That is the actual bug part if he was indeed bound on the same server.

Which character was this? According to your character file Roshnak is bound in Pranzis.
Title: RE: Death Void
Post by: Eloyn on May 06, 2005, 09:39:00 pm
What!?!?! Roshnak is bound in Hlint.  I've only been to east once and never bound there, and that was a long time ago....so its not possible.  As well I died yesterday and ended in Hlint and I never changed it...
    EDIT: Ok so it wasn't yesterday, the last time I died there was no port to the void part in yet...so I just went straight to my bindstone and had no problems...Now I went to void and hell has happened :P

Pranzis is on central

Bahahahaha well is that so? Well sadly I have not been to central more than about 3 times for a total of luckily an hour on that continent...But still I didn't bind there

Well considering your last death before tonight was on Central, it sounds like you have been there and might have possibly bound in Pranzis... are you certain you are not forgetting?

I got stuck in the Void as well.  I was moved by ixdvgn but I was on West and I was using Llith so his bind spot was in Hlint.

Let me quote what I said the first time:

Notice the "before tonight" part?

When did you bind in Hlint? Once again According to your character file Roshnak is bound in Pranzis. I don't know how this could have possibly happened unless you bound there at one time.  So I need to find the problem, you see, is their a problem with certain bindstones not working? did the time you bind in Hlint happen right before a crash etc.

And I don't really care for your "no more questions" comment.  Here I am trying to freakin' work things out, and get to the bottom of the problem.  I'm telling you things I know, I'm hoping you can help me with things you might be able to tell me.  I don't particularly accept "quirks" as closure.

Eloyn, we are trying to fix a possible issue.  The 'no more questions' nonsense need to stop.  We need cooperation not that sort of statement to fix issues.

sorry it was a long day.  Well the thing is though, if I did bind in Pranzis wouldn't it have ported me there?  So I'm sorta confused.. It may be that the bug is it's not porting?  That would make sence if I was bound there, wouldn't it? Or do players have to join the other server once they are booted from this one?
Title: RE: Death Void
Post by: vgn on May 07, 2005, 09:41:00 am
No, it would not port you there. We no longer port people between servers and it has been that way for the past few updates. You need to pay attention to the update notes.
If you die and are bound to a sever other than the one you are on you get booted from the game. You then must reconnect to the server you are bound.
This is the same as if you were traveling by ship or portal. You get booted from the game and must reconnect to the server in which you are traveling.

  So I guess what happened is, you died on West (W), but were bount on Central (C). Were sent to the void on W. Got all the penalties sorted out and were booted. And then reconnected to C instead of W. Which explains why you're stuck there.
Title: RE: Death Void
Post by: Leanthar on May 07, 2005, 12:57:00 pm
*nods* yeah, he reconnect to west instead of central though is what you mean ZV.
  But yes, you must log in to the destination server now.
  Remember that poll I put up about 4-6 weeks ago asking for input on this type of solutions or keep the old server porting in that sometimes caused crashes to the servers?  Well this is the outcome.  You will see the message that you are being booted at that point you need to log in to the other server.  It has been this way for three or so weeks is my guess.  It is that way for ships as well, at least those that cross servers.

I think for new players they actually have to go to the bindstone and bind their soul to the stone in Hlint.  I did this and have since not been stuck in the Void.
Title: RE: Death Void
Post by: ZeroVega on May 07, 2005, 01:38:00 pm
  Yeah, you ALWAYS want to bind if you're starting a new character. If it's not a new character it's always prudent to bind to some place that makes sense aswell, that way you don't forget. Ie: I'm bound at the Temple of Ca'duz. Yeah it's a long long treck usually from Ca'duz's temple to wherever I died, but I sure won't forget it. :)

:S ok sorry guys I guess I did bind there but I swear I died after that and was ported to Hlint.......Either that I'm mixing up my characters..And I knew the thing was put in but I didn't know we actually had to switch the servers ourselves.

This was fixed in the last update.  As an added measure you can use the Remembering Orb to escape you from the Death Void.
