Being in game on a toon, /q-ing, and bring at server select 13 seconds later seems normal, without needing two eq windows.

Fastest he did Server Select to Char Select was 21 seconds, so 34 seconds from /q to Char select. What should the /q lock out be? I've never timed it, but 34 seconds doesn't seem unreasonably fast, especially if he has a good computer and wired internet for fast loading screens. Regardless, 34 seconds is far from instant, which is what used to be abused.

I know there are people that at least used to abuse this, and fuck them, but even with*out* an ip exemption the system can be buggy. I once killed a mob with my main, /q'd to another toon to loot the corpse, and I logged in on the alt just to watch my main being beaten to death by some mobs. I did not have an IP exemption. Sometimes when you /q you get no IP lockout, usually its a short ~10second lockout (which would be consistent with these images), and once in a while you crash and get a 1-2minute lockout, which really sucks.
