Bah, as someone who got LS playing the old fashioned way and finishing all three campaigns in the process, I hardly feel sympathy for people who lose, what, 6 hours of work when trying to Kilroy their way to LS?

That was because the game is still active when you log off sometimes.

ON-topic. You are a complete idiot. I get my FACTS off or TESTING it with 8 of my accounts. I have personally RELIGOUSLY tested this with easily over 5 hours invested into it.

As I said. You are a complete idiot and you need to stop stalking me. End of story. I am right. You are wrong. Troll more.

In case you're too simple to understand what was just said, I will break it down to something even you will understand: eye testid da kannection of clothing gild wors wit all ate uf mi akounts and gawt all mi stutistecks frum dat.

Better? I hope so. G'day.

edit: tl;dr more. maybe consider reading what was said instead of skimming through and making yourself looks stupid with comments such as this:

ok bro.

you CAN die if you alt+ f4 your way out of GW. so don't do it. even if there is 1% chance. ( I lost several survivors pressing alt f4, yet none pressing f12 + enter. odd isn't it?)

if you can press alt f4, why can't you press f12 + enter ?

Usually, you are immediately logged out and safe if you press alt+f4. I was once in a desperate fight when a patrol suddenly joined the fight, which left me with 2-3 seconds to my death. Only thing I was able to manage in this short time turning from full combat mode to emergency exit was alt+f4. No time to think, I simply pressed the keys. I retained my 0 deaths.

Since others reported that they died using alt+f4, I can only say that I was lucky and they were unlucky. If you can plan your leaving, f12+enter is probably the safest thing.

The game client is probably not always able to send a closing message to the server if forcibly closed by the Windows mechanism with alt+f4, while it is able to do that if you perform a regular character-change or map-to-outpost from within the client.

ALT + F4 doesnt log you out of the game straight away. you char is still left IG for a few seconds, you will sometimes get the option to reconnect to the game which is y it leads to deaths.
