QQing as a soul in an enemy city

Written by: Maya, the Great Mother

Change: If you QQ or otherwise disconnect while in an enemy city as a
soul, you will be automatically entered into the prayer sequence the
next time you re-enter the realms.
Why?: This is based on recent player input and discussion. Apparently
(and dismayingly), the reports are that some have been raiding cities
then QQing or forcing a disconnect when dying so that they can log back
on later and get resurrected with less experience loss from an ally.
There are also whispers of those abusing the Gem of Reincarnation while
within the enemy city by disconnecting then reconnecting later in the
hopes that less city defenders are around. This change is meant to
prevent such abuse of OOC mechanisms in this limited scope of within
enemy cities. Unfortunately, this means that if you somehow do get
accidentally disconnected while dead in an enemy city, you will be
placed into the prayer sequence as well, since Achaea has no way of
telling whether you accidentally disconnected or forced a disconnect.
That is just going to have to be the risk of raiding an enemy city. On
the upside, it does mean you get to visit Me, and I know how thrilling
that must be. 🙂

Penned by my hand on the 15th of Aeguary, in the year 462 AF.
