Character Dies, Cannot Revive, is Stuck

On Main EQ2Emulator Server in zone Commonlands, character Zkar died repeatedly- falling for about 1460 dmg when trying to resurrect nearest his body (fell for 354 hp of damage off a small wall initially, while riding beta horse mount /boggle). When attempting to revive at next nearest location (by Walls of Freeport) character has become stuck in or under the world; cannot stand or sit, or camp out. Character is still stuck, after multiple relog attempts, only way out is quit game with TaskMgr, ALT+F4, etc.

Shame too, was just getting to explore anything but the damn Darklight Woods newbie zone after playing this toon for many many nights.

Any ingame help welcome and appreciated. Character cannot repair items and is presently at 70% after multiple deaths, and is stuck in a black area near the gates of Freeport unable to move.

...

Falling damage is way too high to be playable, not sure if this can be config'd off temporarily or not?

Could not get any commands like /unstuck or /rewind to work, is there an item which players could claim that will cast "Gate" or something similar?

Thanks for reading

Did you try to simply /zone {somewhere}? Anywhere? You should not be stuck underworld in a populated zone.

/zone list {partial name} will show you zone names and IDs you can travel to, or just start hitting numbers. /zone 253 should take you to Queen's Colony, where the mender should fix stuff (unless that is broken). I am not sure broken gear has been fully implemented yet anyway.

I'm sorry, no, I have not tried /zone but I shall ASAP, and follow up. Thanks for your reply, and for moving this to the appropriate forum, JA!

EDIT: All's well again, still worried about falling for so much damage off such a small drop though, lol. Thanks again

I've heard reports of jumping off a 6" log and dying. I will take a look closer into this (we have bugs reported about it already). Not sure if it is a particular zone's topology behaving this way, or something off with our movement calcs (likely the latter).

You can try the /invulnerable command...you may have to have a certain access level to use it though.

Thank you very much for your considerate and helpful replies. =)

EDIT: Thread title should've been more specific- The "bug" is/was that attempting to Revive actually 'dealt' Falling Damage!


Suggestion: A periodic serverwide announcement (or a brief mention in the MOTD) about /zone command being available, also, perhaps- that players can find meaningful upgrades via the /itemsearch command as player trades are presently disabled.
