Not sure.

Hearth Fire is inside a palisaded area. The keys are on a Key Ring, on only ONE character. This Character was inside a log cabin. The Gates were closed/locked.(tripple check them and logout, login to make sure) The Hearth Fire is barely visible from outside of the palisaded area. There is no damage to any of the palisaded walls. There is no battering ram near by, nor was one anywhere nearby before the server crash. The gates were sealed so if, they were destroyed, they could not rebuild the gates. There are no holes or bugged area's to go threw the palisade walls. There is no mine hole or access inside the palisaded area. The palisaded area is claimed and is not a village. No one has the character's hearth information. There are no new hearth fires inside the palisaded area for any character to spawn inside the claim / palisaded area. During the server crash / restart / bug fixing etc, the character is now dead inside of the claimed, palisaded area. The character is dead ontop of its hearth fire. The cause of death to the character seems to be from someone being inside the palisaded, claimed area and summoning the character. There is nothing missing or destroyed from inside the claimed / palisaded area.



I've been killed by every animal in the game, but have no experience with being killed by usage of a hearth fire, while logged out.

I have read a few pages back on character deaths and they seem to be from someone having a key, threw murder, backstabbing or just leaving themselves open.(no claim/walls/outside/gate open) I'm at a loss on how to summon and kill someone from inside an area you can't get to.

The only thing I can think of, is someone with very high strength destroyed a wall section and then rebuilt it. No one near me is at that strength level so, if i'm right, wow... congrats on gaining that much strenght that on.

The reason i'm posting is just to checking to make sure there is nothing fishy going on with this death. I've played so many games that with alittle know how someone always finds a way to bug out the game/client and go threw walls, floors, cellings, etc. I know people are fighting botters and something new about using underground hearth fire building to gain access inside a walled area now.

Thanks for reading and this is a great game to kill some time with.


Thanks TeckXKnight, didn't know there was a huge range on summoning.

Not related but just checked out Stin, OUCH!

Hearthfire was outside, you were summon killed. You can be summoned with scents at a range and killed at a range. Next time keep your hearthfire indoors if you want to use black skills.

Summoning can be ranged..? Good to know.

Just left click the scents to pick them up, then right click the hearthfire to force summon.
