Client oddity

Does anyone remember if this is just a bug in the VG Client (did it do this on live too?) where you have a player targeted, they /quit or /camp, and their reticule is still showing long after they are gone?

That glowing blue spot was Dakadin, though he has been logged out for over 15 mins.

This has infact happened on occasion with VG, more so in the early years as opposed to later on tho.

Edited for additional information

There are a lot of anomalies with vanguard and onscreen updates, often times you would still SEE the person who logged out well after they had left, sometimes just the target circle, disappearing NPC's, Mobs that were invisible etc. Could be client, could be graphics

Pretty much all of what Art said. If it helps it used to be the same way in EQ1. Seems they had a dev in common.

Hey John, I was logged in as Zarlore and I too noticed the same thing where the targeted player's reticule did not disappear. However, I was targeting you at the time and it was your reticule that was the "ghost" / artifact. If I remember correctly, this happened at the time where we all got kicked.
