Getting sent back to my home world after logging out for couple of hours

[Maru_Schwarzlicht]

This is weird behaviour because nowhere was it ever explained they implemented such system. This has been happening to me even before this patch a couple days before where i would log out in Aether Sargatanas and then after logging out to go sleep i would find myself in dynamis seraph again after waking up and logging in i get presented with "character couldnt be found" and i would have to manually log into dynamis again and find my character there again??

i became paranoid and logged into my mog station to check if someone else logged into my account but nope its just my IP and my logins. It doesnt kick me after 1 hour but im sure after +5 hours it kicks me from the data center i traveled to. i was already kicked from sargatanas back to back, i can replicate this issue without a doubt by just logging out in sarg for couple of hours just to find my character back in seraph. I tried to look up in reddit, google everywhere if theres something that explains this system but i can't find or read anything about this. I asked in shout chat once and one person experienced the same thing and reported it as bug aswell. So IDK whats going on and i would like an explaination?

Final edit and conclusion:
They deployed a hotfix for this issue which is now probably solved.
"・In Data Center Travel, the process of automatically returning characters to their Home World after being logged out for over 30 days in a different World may occur even if 30 days have not yet passed."

They return you to your homeworld after a period of time (I think it was 1 month). They did state they implemented that system, likely to prevent confusion for returning players who forgot they logged out on another data center.

They also sometimes return you to your homeworld when there is a maintenance, if the maintenance will be doing things that assume all players are on their homeworlds. This likely happened during the maintenance that happened on Monday-Tuesday.

No, i can reproduce this issue anytime i want. It literally just happened today. i logged in into dynamis again. i logged out in Aether, Sargatanas yesterday not even like 9 hours ago. this has been happening everyday

dynamis is your prison. it is alive sentient and malevolent it will not let you escape its evil grip for too long.

It happened to me but that was because of the maintenance and have yet to be reproduced, maybe because the world (Exodus) I go to mostly from Seraph also has my main, maybe this only applies to worlds that don't have any of your characters in them?


They also had an emergency maintenance last night on all worlds that affected all the starter cities and most of the expansion cities that lasted like 10 minutes, maybe you were logged out say for example, Limsa and because of the emergency maintenance, they sent your character back to Seraph. You couldn't access those affected cities during the maintenance and everyone that was afk there was logged off when it ended and I returned to Limsa to craft.

i have been traveling from seraph to sargatanas for a year or two and i never observed this behaviour until recently like couple days before patch and now after patch its everyday.

That's really odd, maybe this warrants a ticket to support to report it as a bug if it isn't a recent change implemented. I don't have that issue aside leaving alts in Exodus before maintenance. I had my Lala alt in Exodus all month before 7.2 maintenance and never had that issue, again, it could be because my main is also in Exodus along with another alt I have there.

how do you make a support ticket actually? i used the ingame "report a bug" not sure if thats what you referring to but they stopped replying to those tickets.
