Stuck command produced a spamming error?

Skauron

So i'm stuck on a piece of scenery in a delve (Knife Ear Grotto) in Deshaan, and using /stuck and agreeming to the gold coin spend, it then takes a while, then dumps me out of the game with this error:

"Error 318: You have been dropped from the server because you hit the message rate limit. Please avoid excessive messaging (i.e. spamming)."

OK now i could understand this 'kick' if i was actually talking using /say, or in /zone, but at no point did i type anything.. all i did was use the in game /stuck command thinking it would put me back at the entrance to the delve or nearby wayshrine if worse.

That hasn't happened though, my nightblade when i log back in is still stuck in the scenery and repeating /stuck got the same 'warning'

So yes, i'm raising this as a /bug, quite a severe one too if you then start to penalise players for it and put warning markers on their account (don't know if this happens, but i'm not accepting it if it ever gets brought to my attention ok?

To get out of this mess i had to wayshrine rather than use /stuck.

I don't think that the message text always indicates what the problem is.

Message rate is not talking about chat. Your computer is talking to the server, that is the message rate they are talking about. If you hit a lag spike the message from you computer can get held up. When the lag clears all those messages hit the server at once and the server gets overloaded and the spam protocol kicks in, and you get kicked.

Your problem is probably fixed by now. But if it ever happens again and you get stuck in /stuck, just log off for about 15 minutes then try again. The server tends to save a placeholder for your character in case you crash, so you can quickly log back into the same spot. Waiting 15 minutes will drop that placeholder so when you log back in, your character 'should' be in a playable spot.
