Ways of "leaving" the realm?

[Vitoc]

I'm scratching my head wondering why this same bug keeps happening over and over.  Somehow, about once every 24 hours, someone is "leaving" the realm via a method I don't seem to be accounting for.  Then when they enter the realm again it crashes because that player is already considered in the realm.

The ways I have of leaving the realm are exiting manually, disconnecting, rerolling and being rerolled.  Any I'm not thinking of?

Maybe hanging up after rolling?  Before trying to enter the realm?

What about if a user is already logged on, and that same user attempts to log on again.  How is the first user booted?

I've noticed that I get ghosted sometimes maybe the problem has to do with the disconnecting user not clearing correctly.

Now in al fairness I was not paying attention and was not at the computer.  When I came back I was sitting in the room all by my little old self.  I went down one room and everything siezed up.  I sat there long enough for afk to kick in then I hung.  I logged back in and hit g and nothing.  Again, I sit long enough for afk to kick in and then hung.

We need to find out exactly what people are doing when it "siezes" up.  Whatever is causing it, it's not letting the Disconnect routine properly remove the player from the realm when they disconnect (even though the TGS user is being disconnected properly), so the next time they connect TGS doesn't tell them the user is already logged on, but  the realm thinks the player is in the realm, which is why I had it print that message.  It's next to impossible to track since by the time it happens it's too late to get any useful data from debugging, and I can't seem to replicate it.

This is what I was just doing when the realm just seized up. Dunno if it will help or not.
