After noticing the debuff, I got in contact with a level 56 healer and he said there is no way to remove or even weaken it. Other players with this debuff usually run out of max HP in a couple years. They can still log in, but there's not much point because the debuff drains their STR and DEX so much they can't even defeat a level 1 crab anymore.

Why did the devs add random debuffs to the game that make your character unplayable? Don't they want players to keep logging in? I could understand if my character got hit by a hex from a high-level warlock in PvP, but completely random debuffs?

Are there any high-level priests here who know whether we get sent back to the character creation screen when our character runs out of HP? I never understood why this game only has one character slot. I could just switch to an alt. Hopefully I'll be able to play a better game next time, because let's face it: this one isn't that fun.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this debuff. Sounds like a rare, persistent DoT that ignores all the usual cleanse mechanics. I know that higher level priests exist, but some charge quite a lot of gold for their services which can be a problem for those who aren't as good at farming gold as others.

    5 months on, I do have some good news about my character.

    My healer encouraged me to see another healer who has better items. The new healer was able to determine that my character doesn't have the debuff the first healer thought it did.

    The healers still don't know what's wrong with my character, and it still can't walk, but my character may not be running out of max HP.

    I am happy to hear that the original debuff was just an impostor! Getting out of a sticky situation with low HP always feels good! There are items one can buy that will help with walking; perhaps you can look into those? They should be available from the Auction House or similar markets. Hopefully, you’ll slowly regenerate HP and your walking ability! Enjoy the christmas event that is comming up! Stay safe!

    Thank you! After the [Christmas] event, my healers plan to look at every single line of my character's source code to look for bugs. I thought only the devs could do that, but the healer's guild figured it out somehow.
