Does anyone remember the bug where people would go half way link dead?? players spell bars would be greyed out / melees could not atatck but mobs and other players could still attack the player? From what i remember it was resolved but I cannot remember what fixxed it. Thanks in advance!

There's actually quite a few things that can cause it. In my experience, it usually has something to do with spells, usually one that isn't setup properly somewhere. I actually posted a bug report about it, which might help to determine if it's the same problem.

On the same note, relogging usually fixes the issue, although you sometimes have to /q.

it happens to melees to, its like the client is waiting to recieve a packet back from the server. Its very annoying to say the least.

That's exactly what is happening. Any function can cause this, if they are missing an opcode, or aren't properly implemented.

Yeah this bug plagues me. Is there any way to add code that says, if theres a problem with an opcode, ignore it and go on?

Also, I've noticed that if you make a change in your inventory while half linkdead, it will remember that upon logging back in. But it won't remember any movement you may have made.

Also, it seems to happen a lot more to some people than others.

My girlfriend's bard has been unplayable for some time now due to this. I've even had her remake the character two different times. All three versions wind up the same; it gets to where she can't log in. Then, when she can, she crashes whole zones when she does =P She just started playing a warrior instead, heh.

Had a thread going here about this same issue, including some of the op_code errors I was seeing. However, just seems something that has to be dealt with. Admittedly, I've seen it become a lot rarer lately than in past versions.
