I have a question for the people who have noticed these odd losses of fame: Were any of the characters you were on that had these odd losses recently partied with other characters? If yes, have any other those other characters recently died or sacrificed their fame?
The reason I ask is that today one of my tamers was partied with a number of people while doing a faction defense. I had to log out for a while and did so by hiding and then logging out, knowing the character would eventually time out. I came back later, after the point that the character had timed out and was no longer seeing a party-style bar for my own character and the Party Manifest showed the character was not in a party. However, out of the blue not long after logging in again, I got the message that my character had lost a lot of karma. I believe another character that I had been partied with earlier had just committed murder or something equally heinous (e.g., killing one of those pesky blue NPCs in the TB base). rolleyes:
I'm wondering if the recent new coding to display fame and karma totals on our characters' context menus is buggy and is somehow picking up fame and karma adjustments from other characters that our character was partied with in the past.
I could of course be wrong and probably am; however, maybe people who regularly hunt in parties and then hunt solo can keep an eye on their fame and karma figures and report if they notice anything unusual that seems to be caused by the actions of other characters that they were partied with.
