This happened to me today as well. Got shot within 5 seconds of connecting. Luckily I had quick reflexes and aborted the connection immediately (just shy of dying). Normally I wouldn't abort and normally I wouldn't log off in a vulnerable place but the server I was on crashed so I picked another. Its a hard problem to solve. You could make connecting players not take damage for a few seconds after logging on. You could also pop up a proximity warning before the connection is finalized, allowing the player to abort. These could both be exploited however.

Just chiming in to say this happened to me again tonight. After the start location reset earlier today I spent 2 hrs working my way North carefully gathering gear and building my character. When I logged out my character status wasn't saved correctly. My position and gear were reset back to where I was at the start of the session. Bummer :( This was on the Texas 2 server if it makes any difference. Is this just a server admin issues that requires frequent restarts? Does anyone have any recommendations for servers that more reliably save character data? -skody
