Whenever I try to trade something to another player in Zereth Mortis, I get disconnected. For example, I killed Vexis, and I tried to trade the sword to another player who helped with the kill. I tried trading it, and it instantly disconnected me. Then, for about 5 minutes, when I tried to log in on the same toon, I received the “A character by this name already exists” message. I did finally get back on, and tried trading it again, and the same pattern repeated.
This issue occurred again today when I was trying to trade a matrix with someone.
