I was playing a good game of Cha, using a variation of Glorn2's vamp build, and was going for an exceptional orb of fire. While fighting the fire boss, I died and did not respawn. Since the next duel was coming up, I decided to wait and see what happened after. Nothing happened, my guy was just dead for several minutes until I left. My guy wasn't removed from the game since his picture was still greyed out, and I wasn't disconnected because I could still move my peon and buy stuff and talk to the other players.
What was the problem?
My name in-game is 514n.
