I never died but am now fugued!!!

[Pete the Pro]

Yesterday around noon (CST) I witnessed a battle between the stygians and the druids. While I had no interest in actively engaging in combat (even after I set every hostile character back to friendly) I was attacked by some pc's and npc's. My character died but I never fugued, and I was not penalized any xp. After my character appearing next to my corpse I had full health, and picked up my pack. (Though I did notice that my character had a dead body on his corpse in with the inventory). From there I was online for about another hour. Then when I logged back on later that evening I found my character to be in the fugue plane.

I discussed this with the dm's online at that time (Random White Guy (who may have hosted the druid confrontation), Nickless, and Zombie Lord) and they could not explain why my character Blarg the Wicked had died after I relogged when I never died in game. They claimed that there were no belongings left in my pack, and encouraged me to make this posting.

Blarg is my oldest character on this server, and had a very large amount of gear (a lot of which was not easily obtained and may not even be available from quests anymore). I can recall a lot of what I lossed. If anyone would know how this happened, who some other dm's that may have been online at the time where, or more imporantly be able to help me recover my gear I would really really appreciate it as I hope to continue playing this character.:(

You left out that you died in our original chat. The corpse bug is a known issue and occurs occasionally. There's nothing that I'm aware of that we can do now. A DM should be alerted immediately if this happens to resolve the issue.

Sounds like the double death (?) glitch. Perhaps when you were attacked by those PCs and NPCs you were supposed to have died. In fact, that sounds exactly what happened and thus why your corpse was there. Normally there is a message that pops up saying that you are experiencing the bug and to contact a DM if you are not instantly transported to the fugue after a slight delay.

So I guess the real situation would be to talk to the DMs to clear up whether the attack was legit or not.

Nickless and speed have outdone me.

The bug part is that you weren't transported to the fugue correctly when you died. So the system thinks you're dead, even if your PC is still walking around. This can happen very rarely in laggy situations.

When you noticed that you died but didn't go to the fugue, you should have reported it so you could have been transported there correctly.

...instantly transported to the fugue after a slight delay.

I love it.

sorry for the confusion.

I thought I had mentioned to Nickless that I had been subdued (or so I thought) because I did not know any other reason I did not fugue. I had another character one time with a similar situation where my pack fell off though I did not fugue (I believe this occurance was not any act of a dm, but that I had been healed in the nick of time). If I had known it was  a glitch I would have alerted the dm at the time. Now that it has occured is there someone that I can seek help from and if so whom?

Thanks for the help everyone.

Usually, the server sends you an error message telling you to contact a DM immediately if this happens.  That's in my experience though, I obviously cannot tell if it did or didn't happen in this particular case.

I would just move on, Pete.  x
