when I log out?

[meat pie 632]

When I log out of the game am I still in the world for 30 seconds? I mean i doupt it  because I could not find anywhere in the game where it tells me this but I heard some talk and want to know if this is  true.

Because back in the mod if you logged out on most good servers it tells you to wait 3 to 30 seconds to log out and wont let you do it in combat.

But I am kinda new to the standalone and dont know much about updates so does some one mind telling me? I cant find info for it in the game anywhere.

Thanks

Yes a current anti server hopper feature is a "ghost" of your char is left in game for 30 seconds after logging out, this "ghost" is kill-able and if its killed you wont have a char when you next log in.

Yes it is 30 seconds, read previous patch notes.

30 secs, 

 

However I think it changes depending on how long you are on the server, I've seen friends be still for only 15-20 secs after 3 hours of playing :)

I highly doubt that your session length changes anything, I have played 8 hours, and it was still 30 sec.

Pretty sure it's true based on the following in-game interaction:

 

A TMW medical crew fixed my legs the other night. Afterwards they escorted me into the woods and told me they would guard me until for my character logged out.

If they made that kind of statement then there must be truth to it considering they follow the same procedure on a regular basis.

 

That being said, I've said it before and will say it again: TMW rules!

Well I've timed it and it does change, there is no way my timing can be out by 10 secs.....

Actually it's primary an anti-combat logging mechanism.

 

And your session length doesn't change the 30 seconds (and it should not afaik)....but the login timer (which is against server hoppers) works somehow that way: if you leave a server and have not played  more than 30 minutes on it, you'll recieve a penalty time up to 5 minutes before you can join another server...just adding this here to make sure it is known ;)
