Possible prevent on the BSoD. Never lose anything again.

[Ambrai]

I got this from the Japanese boards and it seems to be tried and true.

You can prevent losing any items or your char on the BSoD by NOT unplugging your modem cable. All you need to do is keep your auto disconnect at 15 minutes and wait for it to disconnect you automatically. The reason to keep it at 15 minutes is because it can take between your auto-disconnect time up to double the auto-disconnect time. So you would want it at the bare min otw it would take forever to disconnect.

The offical word from Sega is that the BSoD is a server side error that is produced by the routing method they are using. They have stated that this WILL NOT be fixed. Gotta love the A+ customer service.

Well people, only time will tell. After doing research I strongly believe that this is true and we can prevent losing anything at the BSoD.

What's BSoD?

Black Screen Of Death

And, you can also avoid this by quitting the game ASAP, if you notice your text is not appearing, and you cannot pick up items.

But, now I am glad there is a solution in case you do not notice these thigns before the dreaded BSoD

I have talked to people who have still lost items by pulling out the phone cord. It just goes back to the old 'Better be safe than sorry' bit.

[DarkKnight]

How do you set the auto disconnect?

[Ambrai]

Its in the options menu. It's default is 15 minutes.

Ambrai, how is this any different then pulling out the phone cord? It's the same thing as quiting the game, except you disconnect your phone line
