Well we just one AV, when I clicked leave battleground I was disconnected from the server and now can't log back in too that toon. I can login to my other toons on the server. I try to load my toon. I goes to the loading page, and the status bar reaches the end then it brings me back to character selection saying "disconnected from server" but again my other toons on the same server no problem.

I'm assuming the sticky character is the one on which you're posting, Issacnewton? If not, could you provide said character's name and realm. :)

Thanks!

Can you try logging into your Hunter again for me?
#7 - Oct. 15, 2008, 4:01 p.m.

Alright, your character should be set once more. It may be beneficial to avoid Ironforge temporarily, though; there may be something up with your realm that's affecting only that area. I'll check.

With that said, do you happen to know if you've any out-of-date AddOns? I know I was running a few last evening that were incompatible with this latest patch; the result was a plethora of LUA errors that caused my client to be bumped to desktop repeatedly and incredibly slow loading. This may not be the source, but it's always good to check. :)

Velagandra, can you relog for me, as well?

I ended up in Brill when i first logged in! lol


'Cause you took a super-sehkrit trip on GM Airways.

Q u o t e:
I can log on other characters, and I have a GM (stuck) ticket open.


A Game Master should certainly be with you shortly then! :)

Fryer, Malevola: Both of your characters should be accessible.

With that said, all characters should be "unstuck" within the next 10 minutes or so. If not, go ahead and open a petition so that our staff can move you as necessary.

Q u o t e:
No go my character is still logged on in Scholomance and I cannot access it


Aye. :)

I gave him a bit of nudge. Can you check to see if it worked?

Alright. Everyone's character should be set.

Confirm?

Same issue here on this hunter


You should be good now. :)
#35 - Oct. 15, 2008, 5:50 p.m.

Q u o t e:
could you please give him a nudge and get him unstuck?


Sure thing. Give him another try.

Try again?

Alright, everyone who's posted since my last post should be good.

Q u o t e:
I log onto another char on the same acct and see my hunter (Malandris) standing in IF but if i log onto Malandris i Immediately get D/Ced


You're still getting stuck? Interesting.

Give her another try.
#67 - Oct. 15, 2008, 6:15 p.m.
Blizzard Post
Q u o t e:
still getting disconnected and cannot connect..... maybe this issue is bigger than we're giving it credit for?


Success oddly seems sporadic. For clarity, though, are you getting stuck at the loading screen (bar) or are you receiving an error message prior or during this process?
#78 - Oct. 15, 2008, 6:21 p.m.
Blizzard Post
Q u o t e:
i go to full load, then it immediately kicks me back out to the log in screen saying "disconnected from server"


Roger that. While simply moving the character seemed successful previously for all realms, it now appears that on certain ones (those on Shadowburn and Rampage) this process is no longer proving a remedy.

Forwarding on this information to our Technicians for further review, as it may be related to larger stability concerns ongoing presently.

Stormstrike may be included in this bunch, too. Let me find an adequate litmus test to confirm. :)
#83 - Oct. 15, 2008, 6:23 p.m.
Blizzard Post
Jinner, can you try again for me? I'm using you as my aforementioned litmus. :)
#95 - Oct. 15, 2008, 6:32 p.m.
Blizzard Post
Q u o t e:
Still able to log in to other toons on the account but not my hunter (Glenn), was curious if Malandris got fixed if there was a way to fix mine as well? maybe move him to shatt? since he was taking the port from there to IF.


Both you and Maladris are located on Garona, which happens to be a member of Rampage. At this time, it looks as though both battlegroups Rampage and Shadowburn are afflicted by more severe issues.

I'll continue to attempt to move your characters, but resolution may not be immediate. Just stay tuned. :)

I haven't moved you yet, Phantøm. Once I do, I'll let you know. :)

Q u o t e:
Syndri,

I think Stormstrike battlegroup might be suffering the same effects as being a tough nut to crack with traditional un-sticking methods I am hereby an authority on the issue. lulz.


Jinner somehow survived, though he was sauntering around the zones of Outland.

I'm going to move your character to Shattrath to see if that yields anymore success.
#102 - Oct. 15, 2008, 6:38 p.m.
Blizzard Post
Glenn, I tried locating you just outside of Shattrath, too, just in case the continent of Eastern Kingdoms was troublesome (which may or may not be the case).

Let me know if you're able to log in this time or if you're still get slapped with that "Disconnected[...]" message.
#108 - Oct. 15, 2008, 6:48 p.m.

Q u o t e:
No good, Syndri.

Still doin' the limbo in...well...limbo. Ha!

#121 - Oct. 15, 2008, 7:01 p.m.
Blizzard Post
And, PSA: Please do not use portals! Do not use your Hearthstone, Scrolls, boats, or zeppelins either. Doing so will cause your character to be stuck (or re-stuck, as it were). :)

Q u o t e:
I'm fine now. Thing is i was moved after i wasn't stuck anymore (dunno how) and was teleported from org to a GY in skettis....weird


Apologies, that was me. I didn't realize your first move was successful. :)

Q u o t e:
Is there any specific behavior I should avoid to prevent a repeat of this issue, or is it a semi-random issue surrounding zoning?


It's related to zoning cross-continent or using a transport device (boats, zeppelins, trams) to accomplish the same task. :)

#371 - Oct. 15, 2008, 8:43 p.m.
Blizzard Post
One more quick note: If I or another Game Master are able to successfully "unstick" your character, please do not use any portals, boats, trams, Scrolls of Teleportation, or otherwise. This will only render your character stuck once more.

I understand limiting yourself to one small area or another is incredibly inconvenient, but it will ensure that your character remains playable. Thanks. :)

Q u o t e:
we really need a better solution than dont use portals.. would be fine if ur a lowlevel and u dont have to leave one continent for a while but deathly for us traveling 70s


We're working on a resolution presently, but if you do not wish for your characters to become stuck, then it's best to restrict your game play to one zone.

Again, I know this inconvenient, but it's the best course of action to keep your characters playable.

Taking a brief break from "unsticking" characters. I'll return here shortly to pick up where I left off.

Glenn, I adore you; I really do. But if you keep zoning between continents, I fear your character will continue to "stick" in unsavory places. :(

See if he's been moved back to Shattrath.

Q u o t e:
For some reason I'm now taking thousands of damage from Huntress Skymane and Darnassus guards despite being in Terokkar and not in combat or taking any health loss. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with your teleport but it's been happening since I logged back in.


That is incredibly strange. Can you try relogging to see if it resolve the oddity?
