there's a similar and pretty nasty bug, where sometimes alts get stuck in a weird state where they cant even interact with the world. (cant talk to vendors, cant attack, etc) you cant even log out of the game and if you alt+f4 and try to log in you get a message that "there's another character with that name already" meaning the alt is still logged in.

this error can continue for over an hour!

so far i just go play another team for a while and come back later.


its been happening a lot in dalaran, to the point i don't go there as a group. and no this is not a boxing related bug, i've seen it mentioned a few times on /trade, people questing a group port back to dal and the get bugged.

a way to trigger this bug is to do some "big" interaction, like talking to a vendor and buying a lot of crap at the same time, or going to the AH and doing a search with lots of results. anything that will make the server send you a lot of data. sometimes entering the sewers is enough.
