When I self xfer I wait 5 minutes until I exit to transfer. Anyone know the actual time?

5 does it. I wait 7 to be safe. I'm paranoid.

I always waited 6-10, and I never lost anything (came pretty dang close though...)

5 usually works fine..but of late I've noticed games crashing more frequently..so be careful..

How long you break a game in for has nothing to do with its likelihood of crashing. Simply, after 5 mnutes, rather than the game closing when there's no-one in it, it stays open for 5 minutes. Crashing is caused by stress on the server (read: doopers), and aint meant to happen.

It takes 5 minutes to break in a game. I wait for 8 minutes to give myself some extra time, then rejoin without dropping anything to make sure it's permed.

games do crash for reasons other than duping..sometimes the server just shuts down..Blizzard outsources its servers w AT&T and they sometimes have problems..they also admit server disconnects happens..though rarely..

If you have alot of accts to reset..you can do 5 min on the first char..and 1 min on each char after that and go all day long with out RD...I also add 10 sec between chars..
There may be a quicker way and avoid RD but I haven't found it..(I was told there was a program you can down load to keep them reset..haven't found that yet)
