Game Mechanics: Hide wears off instead of being permanent

[azxten]

I use racial hide a lot in game and I've found out it seems to wear off after some amount of time. Probably close to 20+ minutes. Not sure if this is intentional or not but I always thought hide was permanent once activated.

Reporting this because I saw a couple other people mention it recently on forums and in game. It's pretty annoying to be "hidden" and AFK for 30 minutes only to find a non see invis mob came back and killed you.

May need more research if this isn't intended. I don't know if you get a "you are no longer hidden" message or if the client still shows you as hidden when this happens.
