What would happen if I were to suddenly have to log off?
Greetings All !
I'm on-call for work this week. And that got me thinking: I could get paged suddenly while "on a mission" in-game with my friends (one of them hosts a server through g-portal). And I may have to suddenly log off while out in the wilderness at a rather-unsafe location.
So, what would I find if I were to log back on again in a couple of hours? A corpse / rezzed in my last good bed? Or would I just appear with all of the stuff I had been carrying, as if nothing had happened?
Figured I'd better get a good plan ready on how to deal with this right away.
(Being on-call sucks as it is. ;) )
Thanks!

So long as you're not in a boat (as others have already detailed above) the only thing that would happen is you would immediately lose all of your rested/resting/wet/whatever statuses. Timers on your food eaten will pause while you're offline. Stamina will reset to full when you log back in.

There are no 'missions' beyond 'do not die' and 'kill the bosses one time'.
grouping up to do something ... just be sure your friends know your situation. They were warned, and that is that. game is soloable so ditching them is fine as long as you are not escorting a beginner around.

On a persistent world server?
Best case scenario? Nothing.
Worst case scenario? You die and leave a tombstone to recover items from later when you log back at your bed.

I don't think it has any MMO style mechanics where your character sticks around for a minute to get killed after you log out. Unless the server has modded that in somehow.
Aside from anything else, your character is locally stored - so long as they're still wearing all their gear on the select screen you're fine.

If you are on a boat with others you are basically boned.
You will spawn in the water where the boat was when you logged out. In those cases you can recover by swimming until your stamina poops then log out and back in.. your stamina will restore and you can make it to shore and hope it isn't a biome you are not ready for.
Other than that you are just not there so no danger in you getting killed if you log out / close game.
If you are on a boat by yourself just jump off the boat next to it to freeze it in place and log off in the water by the ladder..

@GunsForBucks: You have a... succinct way of putting things.
I like it. :)
