Logging in and out have always been slightly strange to the RP; the person just appears or disappears...

Most people do their best to Rp disappearing

"#me opens a book , says ***** and disappears"

My idea is to allow the user to save an exit and entrance line...

SO when the person logs in the char says for example

#me appears in a puff of smoke or #me comes out of hiding

and when logged out with the ESC key, something like #me disappears ect...

customisable from the player's side

This also would help people with laggy connections who sometimes dissapear and reappear during periods of lag, if the message doesn't play [no esc key] then it is certain that it is the internet's fault

This may also be used to stop people logging out at bad times [being hunted down] and pretend it was just Lagged

Its not really that awkward to me at least. People who log out just have "walked out of sight" or something for me. "oh hello" other guy logs out "hm now where did he go? oh well."

The 'where did he go' thing i do also.. however logging in gets strange sometimes, people just appear out of nowhere

Yes, "so you would like to buy 34 thread, that is 102 coins" "#me hands over some thread" *poof* dwarf appears ontop of thread

I try to logout in places where I can appear as if I have just been entering, like behind the wall at one of the gates.

I log out in places were no one can see me without useing F12.

When I first started playing I was a dwarf who would sleep behind the oven in the workshop. It was fun as people saw me pop out of there when logging in and wondered how long I was there, listening in.

However, most of my other characters I would log out with at the Seahorse Inn.

It's 25 copper the night, you know?

I mostly walk into the shadow of the library with "#me vanishes in a narrow side street"

People shouldn't log out in public places at all. Having everyone vanish into thin air magically is just as stupid. Hence I don't see any use in this proposal.
Log out where you cannot be seen. That's the best thing to do. If you want to use a nice phrase going with it, just type it.

I always log out in the forest. No one EVER comes there.
