just tested the bug without going to a SP world first - made brand new char no skills or armor and tested mana leech. Not only do i get automatic mana leech, but HP leech as well. then i tested using a 1H sword and got the HP leech. that isnt normal, right? i used the White Wolf sword with no upgrades. I tried punching stuff too and got no HP leech. Testing mana leech with physical attacks now.

mana and HP leech happens with every weapon type i have at my base =/ punches do not work. this is a new character, not been anywhere else except my unmodded untouched gportal server, no skills spent only accidental lvl 2 from testing out on several different enemies. leech does not seem to apply to furniture and clutter, even when being hit by spell AOE when landing a hit on the enemy. the leech is not very noticeable at low damage so it could very well have been on the server from the start. next time my friend comes online i will ask him to stream for me so i can observe if its happening to him too. He is archer - when i asked he said he didnt have the bug but also that he doesnt use mana and doesnt get hit very often so wouldnt likely notice it.

found a video from 11th June and it looks like i have the leech, but my friend (he was playing tank back then) i dont think had it. its really hard to tell though, because the vid is from my perspective and i had water aura on so hard to tell the difference between that healing him and the leech thing.

restarted server and the bug disappeared. then i tried all sorts of things to reproduce. My partner was able to reproduce the bug for himself by grabbing a staff and character from an old game and bringing into the server. so he tried giving me what he thought was the culprit: a staff with mana leech from back in the day. that did not transfer the bug to my character. What did create the bug for me was getting a character from before the recent big changes and bringing it into the server again. once i had done that, that character and any other i logged into the server had the leech bug. However, the bug does not persist into single player worlds - even when using the original old character and its own original old world. Logging back into the server with ANY character immediately restores the bug. So it seems that the bug is sticky to client only and only affects my server. I am now testing it out on someone else's server with my old school character and then with a different new character. if I am right, it will bug my characters out and not affect the other people on that server.

you cannot "infect" other players, but you can "infect" other servers. So i can put the bug on a different server, but it wont work on other people's characters on that server. it will only work on my characters on my client. I think its tied to either the character save or the client save. when Cub came to my server, he must have used a character from pre-patch?
also, simply restarting my gportal server didnt actually work to clear the bug. I had to change the game setting "max players" in gportal to 5, attempt to boot it which failed, change the max player back to 8 and reboot. THEN the bug was cleared.
such an interesting bug
