When Warri KO-ed me after I ported to RoB, it took like a minute after the KO before the area actually loaded on my client :(

Though that is a very specific case, and the buff I propose wouldn't really help since it only works on home turf.

Ok but those are software problems. My point stands, when everything works perfectly and without lags I would not want autocast to be in place.

I've never had an area load after teleport in less than ten seconds, and ten seconds is plenty of time for a would-be murderer.

Well, I'm really getting off-topic here, but I think some kind of invulnerability after teleport would be in order. Make any movement cancel it and give it a time-out, and I think it wouldn't be horribly exploitable.

Seriously.

*edit so I don't double post*

You know, everyone was expecting ancestors to be a means of retraining things you've had faster rather than something that gives you buff. Why not go with it? Just have them give a discount on skill values as long as they're lower than the ancestors' values (ie, if your ancestor had 200 melee, you don't get any discount when you buy 201 in melee). Since you earn 9 times less when full trad as opposed to full change, it should reduce cost of raising skills to 1/18 at full tradition, and no discount at full change. Alternatively, just let us buy skill values with numen up to the ancestors' skill values.

Its different in WoW though, you're not invulnerable, but the enemy gains no honor for killing you. This obviously doesn't work here, but i don't know if complete invulnerabilty is the correct fix.

Yeah, but getting killed before the area loads is the epitome of lameness. I don't see what's so wrong with it if doing anything cancels it.
