Party Bug.

[Fermouth]

It seems that characters remain invited to your party even after they hang up.
The same goes for exiting.
And players can join even after logging off or hanging up and reentering the game.

I think this one or a similar bug had popped up before..

Seriously I kind of like some of this one i.e. its a pain to keep inviting people over and over again... perhaps it might be a better fix just to alter it in its current buggieness to have the invited member time out after a little while. So then things like megamud will start moving again rather then waiting on a member to join. Same really goes for someone that hangs up should you really have to invite them again if they log in within say 20 seconds?

Any thoughts?

The flip side to that would be how long does it take for invited members who aren't in the game to leave the list?  If megamud sees [Invited] in the party display, it's going to stop and wait for that person to show up again thinking that it lost someone.  Depending on how long you have your party wait set for, you could spend a fair amount of time not moving.
