i can say the lockout time is short and inconsistent. sometimes I do not get locked out at all (this is rare though), and I don't have an exemption. i've never timed it from typing /q, but it at least feels pretty quick even when I am locked out.

Maybe it is based on server ticks or something? Kind of like the 'open trade window with coin and cancel and run for a random amount of time' thing? shrug

I just timed it. For exactly 30 seconds after you /q, you'll get the 'you're IP has a temporary ban' message at server select. After that it took me another 1 minute to go through both loading screens.

Testing mine too now, haha.

Yeah. It was 30 seconds just now. Maybe I'm just remembering times I've gone LD with an ex-pet rooted near me so my character sits there dying (god forbid he should use any of the stuns or mezzes I ALWAYS have memmed) and I can't get back in as fast cause of combat.

I never /quit for fear of the 1018 error you hear about where someone cant access their account again lol. Dunno if this is still an issue but I just camp out.

hey why am I in these pictures preety sure I was sitting in EC looken for stuff I rememeber helping glitterati with a transfer for em for an alt

I always "appreciated" whenever I would legitimately go linkdead with some puny green con attacking my level 60 with full hp/mana, and logging back in to a dead mob at your feet and a manabar at 15% and hp down to 40%. eq is hard!

Has seriously nobody noticed that you can't poof anymore since Rogean fiddled with the something-or-other to try and fix the 1018 issue? Even if you DA and /q you get 30+ seconds of IP block for the SAME account.

I really don't see and issue with /q'ing and switching to a different account if it lets you, your character still stays in game for the full 30 seconds; there is absolutely nothing rule-breaking about this at all.

ah, you get locked out for minutes? this sometimes happens to me when I /q and the game locks up. I don't really know what causes it when I experience those long lock outs, but I assume its just server packet handling going awry or something else that sounds technical since I don't know much about how servers work.

If you have any sort of aggro when you /q it takes 5ish? minutes to log back in. FD and /q always takes 30 seconds.

To the OP: you're not losing Trakanon because TMO does this to switch characters.

and fyi 1018 has been fully resolved, and it was never related to /q-ing or another other "anit-camp-radius" style superstitions. only time you'll see 1018 now is if someone else is on the account or if you /q and try to instantly sign into the same account you were just on.

Being able to bypass the /camp mechanic and only be one loading bar away from engaging a contested monster not rule breaking to you?

Well, its two loading bars, and no, I guess I disagree with you there. I don't think it could ever make a consistent difference. The pictures from the stream are him changing from a mule to a mule to some random character. Is that abuse?
