Log in delay

Would it be possible to add a delay of some sort into the log in process.
At present the character becomes active IG before the client has fully loaded. On 2 seperate occasions this has led to my character being killed as I am logging on. Could it be made so that the character doesnt appear IG until the client has fully loaded.....maybe a report with a click box? So the character doesnt actually appear IG until you click to confirm you are ready? Or simply make the activation of the character IG the very last part of the client load-up?

IN the new client, how about you log in after its fully loaded... LIke, it loads, and then it asks for your name/pw..

As for now, just be sure you log off in a safe place...

Top floors are good options, no npc I know of can climb ladders.

I often like to log off in a cave, or behind the depot by the tavern. (if a monsters by th etavern, it'll have to walk all the way around hte depot...)

Gro'bul, what you said about top floors.. well... thats not always safe. Spiders have been seen on the upper floors of Varshikar castle. :o I always try to log off in Trolls Bane wherever it would be hardest for a monster to get to.

They cannot go up ladders. A gm spawned them on the top floor. :roll:
