I have heard of other mages describing it, although this is the first time that it has happened to me.

I was in a situation where I was lagging, my ping shot up to 2,000, and we were facing Gold Fever. I was the only mage. I was holding aggro, despite the presence of 2 birds and 2 bears. Anyways, I got fever and was unable to react. One of the bears walked beside me and I got me and the bird next to him killed.

I did not respawn at entrance since Gold Fever's health was less than about 20%. Than just before Gold Fever dies, the host boots me, despite the fact that we had just done an entire run together.



Above, you can see what happened. I died, then someone asked what my ping was (can't recall whom), then I got booted. Any other mages encounter this?
