Game Mechanics: Rabies timer resets to three hours

[Ryvnor]

This has happened twice so far to me while hunting in the Northern Desert of Ro. If you get rabies from the mummies in the zone the debuff lists as lasting 40-60 minutes (I haven't thought to look the second I got hit with it). This is good and fine and classic, but the issue comes when you log off the character with rabies still active. Upon returning your rabies will be reset to three hours [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I've been tracking down people to run to so I can buy cures, but it would be preferable to just play through the original timer rather than feel obligated to wait until the rabies runs it's course before logging out.


===Update #1===

Apparently using the Gate spell will cause the debuff to explode to three hours as well :/
