    While 3 boxing I had a lovely crash. Afterward, I cannot log 2 accounts in. I get unable to connect to server error # 2. Funny thing is, when I log in with my 3rd account, I see one of my characters still stuck in the game. I'm assuming the other toon is as well, just in a different zone. Sooo... what do I do about this? I've restarted my CPU... same thing, I can only log onto my 3rd account and still see my main sitting in North Qeynos.

    Suggestions?

    Thanks

    Wait until characters are booted completely, log in again.

    It's been about 3 hours... I think they need to be kicked on the server side. I sent a petition.

    Yeah, they will usually get kicked within 10 minutes (more like 3-5 typically). Sounds like yours is an odd exception... something seriously wrong when it's 3 hours.

    Back on AK, rumor was, that if you spam the LD character with tells (especially with lots of special characters in the tell) they will get booted faster... not sure I believed it, but I did it anyway, just in case. Like the tale that tapping on the top of a soda can before opening it keeps it from exploding... don't know if it works, but I still do it. Haven't had a can of Diet Coke explode on me ever since (and that's been over 10 years now)... go figure.

    Sometimes characters that crash while zoning won't be marked as LD for quite a while. If you try to log on a zone-stuck character it will usually force the LD and start the disconnect timer.
