Shattered Kingdoms

There are rooms that have a flag againt all other form of transport other than recall. Some of them are temples, kind DND rooms for priests (which they can word out of if trouble finds them). You just never know untill you gate six times as a GM to stones and not one works.

Not being able to gate/summon/teleport is different then not being able to recall. Cabal HQs are a perfect example of this.

Mirror Image?

Wasn't mirror image. I had no spells active at the time, save for possibly concentrating on resurrection for one of the two people I was trying to bring back as he was trying to manifest to me.

Are there such things as non-manifest items that prevent people manifesting to you.

On a joking note maybe you have the type the word not just the short version in some rooms.

Then you were in a room that you can't be summoned from, such as the zavijah sanctuary in exile. You can cast your spells there, but you can not be summoned, which in turn means people can't manifest to you.

This so called bug has been discussed a hundred times before. The problem isn't with manifesting, it's with your character being in that room. If it happens again, have the priest go to another room, and everything will be fine.

I got the same problem actually. I could locate things on them by their name and not like 'someone'; I had detect invis and hidden while I still couldn't see them on the who list or send a tell.

I've seen the stuff you're talking about with locating/wholist people before, and it's probably one of two things. Character is logged in, but sitting at the MOTD. Bugged room that has to do with how the room handles night-time.
