Character forced respawn point? duping? Wut.

So I was in Devil's Castle this morning, banditing it up, being one of those guys that you hate because we have nothing better to do then wait for some unfortunate guy to walk into our trap while watching netflix - and, I came across an individual who raised some questions.

This individuals name was "Pat" and after I killed him the first time, I heard another person approaching 3-5 minutes later, and killed him. I noticed his name was "Pat" as well. Another 3-5 minutes pass and this guy appears again, and dies again. I noticed that it was the same loot in all 3 bodies, exactly, so I was wondering if there was a player character file dupe going on or something?

Sounds like the server didn't save the characters properly, which means you respawn with the exact same character/gear and in the exact same spot every time you die.
