Losing adena after errors

Something I have often wondered but because I'm never expecting errors have never had a chance to check.

If you use a GK and the game errors and crashes and when you come back in game you sre still at the same port spot have you already lost the adena from before?

Just wondered as it can sometimes be costly to port (if you are in a hurry and can't go the long way round) and losing upto 100,000a in one port just to be in the same place after an error isn't funny.

I think that if the server takes your aden the server also moves you to the spot you asked.

Now, you should never spend 100K on ONE port. It's always cheaper to do it in several ports. And even cheaper to boycott GKs :)

its kinda 50/50
sometimes they roll you back up to 5 minuets after a gk crash other times you havent ported but you cash is poof

Not always, surprisingly enough. :/

I just wondered really, not to much of an issue for me but I'm guessing for a lowbie with little cash anything they lose would be a small set back - easily rectifiable but you know what I mean.

I don't, that was just the highest port cost I could remember seeing ;)

no it is/was a big deal
i remeber back a few chrons ago petitioning to get my adena refunded after one of those DCs
nc was actually really nice about it and i gots me money backs

I actually used to have alot of problems with ports taking me places that I didn't want to go believe it or not.

Back in C2 my clan held the Ol Mahum clan hall near Dion, one of the port options was to a spot on the hill where the Tanor Silenos Mobs are in Tanor Canyon. Occasionally I would port and when my screen came up I would be instantly covered in several groups of mobs and begin being beat upon. This was not honestly a big deal at level 54 but I did die once or twice. 4% loss before 50% clan hall rez stunk even at that level.

When I petitioned the actual response I got from a GM was if I had a problem using that port then don't use it from now on. I used it because you could port then soe to Giran for 500 adena which is alot cheaper then the 8k from Dion Gk.

I understand this was fixed and it was found to be an in game error that let the mobs spawn to close to the port in, but it did leave a bad taste in my stomach about even using the /gm function in game most times.

I wish I still had the screenshot from it. Of course the worst bad taste is when I /gm now and never get to speak to a live english speaking GM.

I had this problem 5 or 6 times this summer. Port, crit, re-log only to find myself just outside of the town I had ported from and x$ less. GM'd them all and was told every time that they do not refund adena or port you where you were supposed to be.

I've had that problem a few times at the skyshadow meadow port spot. I "solved" it with having the prophet port in first and pull the mobs away from the port spot and return, and then port back with both chars to a clean port spot. They really should make it so there aren't aggro mobs where you port in.

I had what the OP describesd happen to me but I was only 6k though. The only reason I noticed is becase I was quite low on cash at that particular time :S
Kinda frustrating to crash during tp, your moneys gone and you havnt been tp.
Petitioned about it, but I cant remember if they did anything about it .
