It's like the old "can't log out" trope, only you can, you just can't get back if you do, not even after exiting to the character select screen. I packed up my alts on Sunday evening, and I'm still logged in now. I also made sure to reset my DSL modem and started up a fresh run of the client (but also because I moved to a different PC that I don't use much).
The things that will finally kick you out are:
- version update (sometimes it happens the next day, sometimes two weeks)
- network connection dying, usually because my DSL modem locks up or auto-updates, but I think once I tripped over the Ethernet cable
- computer dying, one time my video card went nuts after so much uptime on the same app, it was really trippy
- game bug, one time the game got stuck at a black screen when a Besieged ended. I could still do chat commands to say goodbye to shellies, but that was all.
It's early in the month, so the version update should happen very soon. I've still learned to always reset modem and game on the last day anyhow.
FYI they cut off the CP bonus after it ended, so it's much harder to grind job points. But at least you can still sell stuff... someone just a few minutes ago bought 96 alex I had in my bazaar for 4000, when stacks are going for 320K. I had only put it in the bazaar until I could make a full stack of it on the next run.
