True, but it isn't insta-log off. It's 5 minutes I believe, enough time to become a ghost, right?
No, logging back in will eject you from the house, your character doesn't have to wait the 5 minutes to actually log out. I'm not saying this is accurate, I'm just saying this is how it currently works on the shard.

Um yes. I forgot about that one.

Anyways, keep the stuck option in please until we have GM's that are on during European play times too. If I happen to get stuck on a sunday morning I don't want to wait till it is midday for a GM to come rescue me. The time difference is about 5 hours with Derrick's time zone.

They do, late 6.x client versions have map differences that cause people to get stuck in the map, often in Tera Keep, Wind and some outside areas of T2A, especially near the Brit sewer passage, oh and Hyth as well.

I'm doing some brainstorming on how we might accomodate an automated stuck option without having an abusable option such as this, but as has been said, this option is not really a house issue as the same thing can be accomplished in different ways.

Nothing says T2A like being stuck on a small island.

You can be killed in a friends' (or others' for you spies) house as a ghost by locked down items. Or in a place after someone or thing stole all your regs or looted your corpse. There are moongates and rune libraries everywhere. If you ask the right person a gate to practically anywhere is available. I think a twice a day free pass for newbs and non mages isn't really a pressing issue.
The scope of travel is very limited and if PK's find a newb in town and knows he can't go anywhere else without assistance they are going to reap everything that the new char has whenever he/she goes out to build up their character. Like when I started out in Vesper. I died so many times and without a mount there was no escape. I didn't know about the stuck feature until I found it looking into all the sub windows.
Another thing, newer players might choose the wrong starter city and might need to go somewhere they can develop the areas they want to.

Yeah, thanks for the save Derrick :mrgreen:

The way the help option works is fine.

Why can't it be so that the help stuck option functions as normal when using it outside a house, even if you are inside a house? Then people couldn't teleport outside their houses for free, while hidden even.

I was stealing from a miner today, he came on an alt and chased me off. I then tracked him for several screens and found him as he "help-teleported" away into town. This is annoying to me.
