Same, because it didn't happen on live. It's a very weird bug here and is here for literally no reason
People's memory from 15 years ago isn't to be trusted.

The way it happens is very explainable.

Basically when zoning the game loads your character first, and then it loads your gear. If you happen to have less HP than your gear provides in raw hit points the game finds that you are dead and proceeds to run through the "you're dead process". Which starts with a buff removal. When the game finally gets to the gear loading it realizes you aren't dead and zones you over.

If you want to prevent this, total up your gear's total + Raw Hit Points and always zone with more HP than that. For example, if your only pieces of gear are two Velium Platinum Fire Wedding Rings, each with 65 HP (130 total for the pair), whenever you zone with less than 130 hit points (1-129), it will remove all of your buffs.

This can be used to your advantage also when zoning with detrimental effects like long durations snares, DoTs and other maladies.
