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.

I am having this issue as well. I seem to have two saved characters on one account. Some servers I load in as one character and other servers I load in as another character. Both characters have the same player name (profile), but one is in the north part of the map and one is on the southern beach. Both have different gear as well. I have played both and the progress for both is being saved. It's very confusing and annoying. I just want to delete one or the other and have just one (the same) character on every server like before. All the servers I am playing are @hive and I am running 1.7.2 and beta patch 94700. F.

I am having the same issue as well. A lot of servers I have played on for a while are making me start a new survivor when I log on. While other servers have my saved character still and when I log in I have my gear and I'm where I logged out last. This is very confusing, it's like I have two characters on one account. And all the servers I play are @hive. I'm using 1.7.2 and beta patch build 94700

I played on Atlanta 118 for about 4 hours last night, then joined a few friends on US 161, I played there for about 3 more hours before logging off. Today when I try to log onto the Atlanta 118 server it starts me as a new character on the beach with no loot, but if I log onto US 161 I am where I logged off last night? *shrugs*
