I came across a deer of which i planned on pelting to death with my sling .. suddenly i lag.. then wham. DEAD! wasted on something i clearly could have avoided.. Does the game spawn random lvl 6-7 boars when you lag or was it just me?

Just bad luck. Animals are pretty deadly now and you happened to get killed by one during a lagspike. Don't even start asking for your char back, shit happens.

Unfortunately that's how it works now. Just avoid hunting when the server is lagging, or try to focus on another activity. This is a risk most hunters are having to take.

The server is always spiking because Molkke is reacting to loftar's NIC afaik.

Ok, so you were hunting deer from land, and a boar killed you. What I don't understand is how you thought you could kill a deer when a boar could kill you in a couple seconds.

If that is the case he should acknowledge the risks of having hunted during this period instead of trying to come back in time. Lag is a burden, yes, but if you go hunt when it's lagging, even if out of necessity, you're taking the risk of death, and you know it. Whoever doesn't want to take those risks should simply stay away from hunting until the lag issues stop or live with them. I can't see how he should have his character restored over this happening, it's simply not viable to restore everyone who died while affected by lag.

I would replace hunting with "moving through the forest".

Well, it still applies. ;) And come on, it's not that bad. Not for me at least.
