No, but it's considered an exploit of the game mechanics, and will most likely be fixed, eventually...

Did you factor in the millions of "Respawn" deaths because people respawned on the beach over and over to get a better location?

You jacked my DayZ song! eheh

C'mon! This is bs! Warnings, bans, bah!!! I don't want to almost kill somebody just for them to alt+f4 to safety land! Only to get a warning. Because at the end of the day that fucker should have died to my gun! And, so what, he gets banned, I don't get a kill and wasted my time and bullets on a alt+f'n4er! And who knows, if the asshole tried to fight back instead of magically disappearing, I might be the one taking the beach walk when the smoke clears! My opinion, change the mechanics to stop instant safety from disconnects. Sorry if your power goes out or your internet takes a dump, but your character persists in the game for a set time, at least 30 seconds, or more, if you die in that time, you die! Day Zero again, go find some new swag! F. Joe Couch

What's the first thing you read everytime you start fresh on the beach? Day 0...Zero

Or this!

I can confirm that 1.7.2.3 has fixed this issue! I killed my duplicate (new) character and after reloading logged back in with my old character, the doppelganger is gone! =)

I am having the same issue. And all the servers I play are @hive.
