Erdrique's Blog-Blind Invites? Those Still Happen?

So I had this happen a few times this past weekend and wondered about it-Blind Invites? Those Still Happen?

Blind Invites, a possible explanation

Your character appears in game quite a bit before you see it on your screen. Which you should know from the times people disconnect and when they come back you can talk to them and see them, but they cannot hear or see you yet.

You login and all of a sudden all the database views have to change for the WHO panel. It also logs you into the chat server, has to load up all of your loot items you carry on your character, etc.

This is probably what is happening, the player A(level 25) was clicking on player X(a level 25), but you just so happened to login at that moment and the WHO panel changed and all of a sudden Player X was moved to player W and you became player X.

the game is currently bugged, i had party members dc, log into another another toon and ask for an invite, they got one and found themselves with an active alt online, we even found his toon in the harbor standing stil where they logged out.


as for the blind invites, they happened a lot in the past but i don't see them anymore, must be due to a lack of new players
