Reconnect after disconnect

From Guild Wars Wiki

The Reconnect after Disconnect function was introduced in the December 20, 2006, game update. It allows players to reconnect after a connectivity issue or a computer crash within ten minutes from the same computer.

[edit] Description

• While disconnected your character will stand completely still as though the player were idle. All maintained enchants will remain in place. The character can still be killed, healed, degen and regen while disconnected. All party members see the message Example Name has lost communication with the server.
• After rejoining, all members of your party receive the message Example Name has restored communication with the server.

[edit] Notes

• At the moment only Error 7, client-crash and computer restart disconnects are supported.
• Reconnect after disconnects while loading an instance is not supported.
• Attempting to reconnect during a cut scene will not allow you to reconnect.
• You can force a reconnect by opening the Task Manager and ending the GW process. This will close the game, and you should be able to reconnect afterwards. This is useful for when you encounter serious errors, and you want to disconnect and reconnect with ease.
• The path on the 'U' map will be cleared upon reconnect.
• If a game-update occurs while you are in an instance, you will be unable to reconnect if you restart the client and load the update.
