Reconnect After Disconnect - One of the most player-requested features comes to Guild Wars! If a player gets dropped from the game due to a connection problem, and that player can reconnect within ten minutes, the player's character will be relocated to the spot of disconnection. If the character was performing an action, such as casting a spell or auto-attacking a target, that character will complete the action as if still connected. If a player is in a group when disconnected, the other members of the party will be notified about the player's connection problems.

This is great news. At the end of
Issue #32, I listed some problems facing Guild Wars. Not being able to join a match in progress, that puts a huge hurt on immersion. Being able to reconnect after a disconnect, that's a big step in the right direction.
Woooo hoooo!
