Guild Wars 2

We were at the third fractal, Aetherblade Retreat, when I, the party leader, disconnected. Upon reconnecting, I spawned dead in LA, right in front of the Fractal portal. Upon pressing Yes to rejoin my group I was instead portaled into a new instance of the Fractal lobby, and my entire party got kicked.

This is/should be a bug. I should be able to rejoin my party as long as I do not change character or travel to a new zone.

I suspect that being in front of the portal to FOTM counted as a new zone.

Unfortunately, it is entirely normal to lose your progress in Guild Wars 2.
