SE has done a rather good security against ppl who'd try to just shut their PS2/computer when they are about to die; the caracter just stay there, standing, for 30 seconds, just as if you had done a regular logout.

Same thing happens if you time out; your caracter stays there for 30 seconds, and you can't log back in untill your caracter has been removed, which means about 30 seconds.

Just try again...

"SE has done a rather good security against ppl who'd try to just shut their PS2/computer when they are about to die; the caracter just stay there, standing, for 30 seconds, just as if you had done a regular logout."

That safeguard has been there since the game came out. What he's talking about is something that started happening after the current patch, possibly a bug. I experienced this as well. I logged off my main character [properly, using logout], then tried to log onto my mule [who is attached to a different handle] and it gave me the "already logged in with this character" message. Made no sense whatsoever.

The only time I've ever gotten this message prior to the patch is when I didn't log out properly, or I got disconnected and tried to log back in too soon (onto the same character I DCed on). This thing with logging out properly and getting the message on a completely different character is new to the patch. He might not have experienced it with two separate character as I did, but the conditions that trigger the message have definitely changed for whatever reason.
