Hey. My ISP was undergoing maintenance today and I dced from the game for an extended period of time. I was in the Mosh’Ogg Ogre Mound in STV. I resorted to using the character stuck service, which says it will port me to a nearby safe graveyard.
It however did not port me to safe graveyard, instead it teleported me to the worse place it could possibly send me to. It sent me outside of Zul’gurub. Luckily the trolls were patting away and I had time to hearth, however if the pat was by the entrance, I surely would have been dead.
This is a service that needs to be looked into for the quality and integrity of gameplay for hardcore players. Dying to a DC isn’t fun, and this service can aid in preventing that. However the service nearly caused me to die in another way.
In other versions of the game, it teleports people to the faction capital. That would be a better option than the “nearest graveyard”. Some of these graveyards appear to not be registered safely, and ZG isn’t a graveyard either.
