Game Mechanics: Hide wears off instead of being permanent

[azxten]

I use racial hide a lot in game and I've found out it seems to wear off after some amount of time. Probably close to 20+ minutes. Not sure if this is intentional or not but I always thought hide was permanent once activated.

Reporting this because I saw a couple other people mention it recently on forums and in game. It's pretty annoying to be "hidden" and AFK for 30 minutes only to find a non see invis mob came back and killed you.

May need more research if this isn't intended. I don't know if you get a "you are no longer hidden" message or if the client still shows you as hidden when this happens.

Sometime people will lev/bump you in such a way that you count as moved, or you might get hit by an aoe. Or simply a see invis mob.

Take a look at the logs and try find if there is a point your invis faded. Is this an issue on all servers or just one?
