So #3? That link doesn't clarify anything.

If you go LD while having aggro and you are not DA, your character will stay in the game world for a while. This is classic. Don't utilize any method that could circumvent this classic mechanic.

Would love to hear your thoughts re: timers.

I play a FD class and have an exemption because my husband and I play together. With the FD changes I sometimes need to FD and then /q agro. How long do I need to stay out before choosing to load past server? 30 sec, like camping?

It would be if I came back in immediately, I assume? FD -> /q -> re-enter

I'm asking how long we need to stay out, having /q'd.

if you immediately came back because you had a 2nd window open that would be abusing the exemption. Not sure if your question has been addressed, but if you are logging in faster than you would be able to w/o the exemption you would be in the wrong.

Right, of course I would be -- because I'm not held at server select while my char is in world. The difference between a 2nd window and the same window after /q is probably all of a couple of seconds. Thus the question of how long they'd want people to wait. I'll go with 30 seconds unless I hear otherwise. /shrug

I demonstrated/explained "insta-poofing" for nilbog and Sirken the other day.

Simply put it is using any method available (IP exemption, MQ insta camps, etc) in order to force your character immediately out of game and skipping the step of being LD or camping.

It's abuse is extremely common on both servers, and I am very glad there is something finally being done about it.

I see a lot of confusion in this thread--and I assumed this was common knowledge--but "poofing" is actually the act of a lady demurely expelling intestinal gases from her butthole.

So, I guess I'd say poofing is a little bit of number two.
