Awesomeness just happened!

[Troxx]

So my level 51 druid was quadding in OoT (seafuries). Mobs are 27% health, i'm 100%. I lose connectivity 8 seconds into a Lumi staff click. I'm at 95% connection and dropping quickly so I figure I'm dead regardless of whether or not internet recovers given how close they are and how shit my hp is. I just /q to speed up the inevitable process of my death and plan on corpse recovery. Lumi staff only takes 3-4% max away from a seafury. It takes me 3 minutes to log back in because character is "still active".

So I'm hopeful at this point my wimpy ass alt had the afk-sense to run at low hp only to be chased by 4 snared and angry Seafury Cyclops's until he's finally booted (and hopefully still alive). When I log back in, not only am I still alive but my character has full buffs and is 40% life and is surrounded by 4 seafury corpses with me net positive the xp of 4 seafuries as well as loot rights.

Apparently my LD character not only evaded death, he went super-saiyan and fucked up 4 seafuries and lived to tell the tale! I had no DS buffs up, so no credit there. I don't think I could have managed it if I was legitimately in control of my characters.

First time something like that has happened to me in EQ in almost 20 years. Small victory for sure ... but I had just procured a fresh PoTG. It saved me 2.5 full kites worth of xp as well as the hassle of a recovery.

TLDR? My AFK druid is clearly cooler than you and a badass.
