Game Mechanics: Rogues remain untargetable to other players after breaking hide while sneaking

Just noticed this bug the other week - some quick steps to reproduce:

1. Click hide, then sneak.
2. Click off hide, or perform an action to break hide, but stay sneaked.
3. Ask another player if you're invisible to them.

Basically you'll stay invisible to other players until you break sneak, but all aggro mechanics involving NPCs seem to be unaffected.

Going to be lazy and assume this is not classic, but feel free to prove me wrong.

Can you see yourself in third person but others can't?

If you're talking about others not being able to /target you. This is because of the sneak not hide. You can /target people that are invis (if you have see invis) but any time you currently have sneak active you can not be targeted via /target

Interesting - I was assuming it was simply not breaking the effects of hide and you were still invisible to others, but it's possible you are visible to other players and the /target function simply doesn't work. In that case, the title of this thread should be: "Rogues are untargetable after breaking hide while sneaking." And I'm unsure if this applies to other classes with hide & sneak - in any case, probably a bug and not a classic feature.

Oh.. You dont even have to hide.. If anyone successfully sneaks you cant be targeted using the /target command... works on rangers too ^_~
Extremely annoying when people ask for buffs with sneak still on -_-
