One of the biggest gripes I have about this game is how ungraceful it is at handling lag issues. If I hit a moment's bad lag, the game will not recover. I invariably end up dead and have to close out the program, then *hope* I can get logged in fast enough that I'm not sent back to haven. This happens to me a couple times a day. It's really quite crippling to lose 50 to a 100 energy because of poor back-end coding.

At the very least, extend the timer for resetting to haven on a disconnect. Preferably I'd like to see the lag-recovery issue resolved, but I do understand that that's a pretty large task.

I think you get about 5

I think you get about 5 minutes.

BUT if you close the program yourself or log off, it won't forgive you and will force you back to haven.

Incorrect. If you force your ping to reconnect during the initial disconnect period, you can, in fact, re-join the game without being bounced back to Haven. You'll likely be dead, depending on where your ping dropped, but I've done it about a dozen times.

The more you know!
