IsUnitOnline(string unitTag)

There are times when IsUnitOnline(string unitTag) is reporting true when I know the person has logged out. It does not happen all the time, but happens frequently enough (several times a week) it is getting to be a problem.

The person does not leave group and just logs out, but something is glitched so that they show as being online and at full health. Even thought the person logged out a long time ago, the person is still showing as online on the group page. When I test if the person is online using IsUnitOnline(unitTag) using their group unit tag (ie: "group2") it says they are online. I can provide a specific date and time as well as the player's @ names of the latest occurrence of this happening. I don't want to post them publicly.

This has been an on-going issue with a someone showing online in group after they logged out. It happened probably once a month or so, but recently it has increased to where it is happening several times a week.

    I have noticed this more frequently too.

    If the person switches to a different character, they can still read any chat messages sent in the group chat where their previous character is still counted as logged in, even though their current character is not in that group.

    As a follow-up, I have tried several other functions which also respond with data as if the person were still logged in. Such as GetUnitName, GetUnitGender, GetUnitClass, etc. In short, to my game client, the person is logged in to the server and the server is responding as if the person were still logged in - even thought I am in voice coms with them and they are confirming they are logged out.

    Had a few instances were someone has logged out to switch characters and their old character is still in group showing as online.

    This must be why you can’t log back into the game when you get unexpectedly logged out while playing. Strange that it would drop you and then think you are still there.
