Moongate stopped working for a while

[erlein]

REPORTED ISSUE:
Moongate stopped working after a while

ISSUE DETAILS:
Not sure why, but I left my char on a moongate, made a cup of tea, came back and I could no longer travel through the moongate. I tried running at it, double clicking it and made sure my conn. was still ok by attacking something nearby.

It eventually resolved itself.

ENVIRONMENT DETAILS:
Win XP pro, 3.0ghz P4-D, 3gb RAM, client 5.0.1 patch 59

STEPS TO RECREATE:
Uncertain - I left my char on a moongate for about 10 mins

EXPECTED RESULTS:
Inability to use moongate

DATE REPORTED:
13 Jul/2009

STATUS:
Open

DATE STATUS CHANGED:

There is a small window of time during the day where the moongates transport you to the same moongate. Thus, you don't go anywhere. When the moon shifts, or starts a new phase, the moongates change. There's a write up somewhere that tells you exactly how the moongates work. But having a moongate not take you anywhere happens a few times a day.
