Its whoever comes near them so I've heard.

I've heard that, if you block the individual, you're safe. The last time I was in Uruga when this happened, a person's rapid logging-in caused him to get the "disconnected from server" message so he didn't just poof back to the launcher. He found the guy who was doing it and screenshotted him. I dunno if it would help any, but if you can get a screenshot of the person doing it, I'd send it to a GM. If you can manage sending a whisper to the guy, you can right click his name and block him, and then you'll be fine so I've been told.

Has it only been found in Teva or has it been used on all servers?

What good does it do to crash people's clients on freshly made accounts? You'd kick that person off then log into your main to grind in an empty map? o_O But they'd come back later on anyways...

It seems to be a chat exploit, so anyone who hears their speech is affected.

Even when your in guild chat your still recieving chat dialogue for your other chat tabs.

If you block the culprit before he sends you a message than you will be fine.

As before mentioned anyone who "recieves" the dialogue from these individual(s) will have their clients crashed.

Luckily, they arent sending their messages through the shout system as they are using level 1 characters. If they could, you would never be able to move out of a town map.

Since they cant shout it, they can only affect people surrounding them.

I heard its in Bijou too.

Whoa, that's a pretty nasty bug there. I'm sure this is one thing that they'll take seriously and address as soon as possible since this is a bit more than just a little annoying. People count on being able to sit in towns and set up their shops while they're away and this could pretty much destroy the whole market system if all a person has to do is move within "hearing" distance and disconnect everyone's shops.

Does anyone else remember something similar to this a long time ago? I seem to vaguely remember some kind of exploitable disconnect bug like this except I think it had to do with certain emotes. Or am I thinking of some other game?

I thought it was strange when all my friends on my BL who were in Eld vanished simultaneously for a good 30 minutes o.O Luckily I haven't been struck by this glitch yet (-_-)

ahaha someone figured this out the first week of cb1.. i guess its back again
