Stuck in -Loading Neversummer-

[sbarnes]

Due to a poorly timed server crash I ended up stuck in the -Loading Neversummer- area. Whenever I joined a server I would get the normal dialog box and then end up in a small dark grassy area. Every so often I'd see players show up and disappear a short time later, so I'm sure it is where the server entrance is.

Seeing as I'm only a lvl 2 sorc, I didn't have much in my inventory to help me out. The fire gensai ability would let me slowly commit suicide, but with a 10 minute delay between uses I couldn't kill myself before a server reset (logging in again sets your hp at max).

It turns out that every so often players from hostile factions show up. If they don't leave immediately you can click on them until they turn hostile (there seems to be a delay in the scripting for setting PC's hostile). After provoking a few of them (an unarmed lvl 2 sorc isn't going to hurt with his punches), I managed to die and respawn back in the world.

I apologize to anyone who was mysteriously attacked. And I hope this helps anyone who gets stuck without a DM to fix it.
