severe danger in Seb?

[Gytask]

i was on my warrior this morning and working my way towards Trak's lair. While killing mushrooms/golems, I got a message stating i was in severe danger and got ported back to the forest. was this message meant for mass pulls? i am a bit puzzled because i am fairly certain that i was only killing 1 mob at that time.

anyone know what really happened?

most likely a mob vanished through the floor while pathing toward you and popped back up in another area, however it still had aggro on your, and started running toward you bringing everything it encountered on the way, this would quickly cause the limit to go over 25. I've had this happen in ToV to me the other day. Walked past a door in EToV and aggroed the mob, which then vanished through the floor as it was trying to come through the door, popped up in another area and pathed toward me, bringing everything with it, quickly had over 25 guys on me and got booted...

ahhh.. thanks for the explaination. but ain't we supposed to get a warning message before the number reach 25? i am pretty darn sure that i didn't see a warning message.

Not if you agro 4-5 right before it kicks you. IIRC, it warns at 22+. If you agro 5 when you are at 20, you won't get a warning and it will just boot you.

Yeah, I've had this happen in Seb a few times. Unfortunately, I didn't get the full 25 mobs, so I just got pancaked.

Mmm, pancakes.

Warnings start at 21 mobs. It will keep going every second or so until you get 25 mobs or you get mobs to 20 (usually by killing them). The instant your 25th mob aggros you get the severe danger message, along with it's attendant gate.
