Alt-F4, F12 + Enter, X in the corner, /resign......these should all still work for survivors. BUT err 007 is going to cause ALOT of deaths for survivors.
Slomo
Thank you so very much! Wheeeeeeee!
Can't keep my pants on from excitement!! Wheeeeeeee!
Ok, back to earth m8...
This is good news, even though they are only projected/planned, not implemented yet.
Cant wait to see it in action, /killerr7 AND the party forming thingie.
As to the survivors.. well... tough brake, m8s! I had a survivor... died from stupidity... and my second one died from err7... been there, done that, get on with life, make another one...thats what i do.

Just when I begun to think these features were going to be forgotten, they become a Christmas present from Anet. 
Reconnects :
I'm sure this part of the update will make playing Guildwars 100x less stressful for everyone. R.I.P overpowered Error 7 Monster I say.
Party Search :
I must admit, half the time when I am tempted to join a PUG group I can never be bothered with spamming <proffession/build> LFG till i'm blue in the face. So this was another much needed update. Especially with heroes and henchmen, this sort of automation is what's needed in guildwars now.

Hm... these features, at least the party search system were supposed to be put in when Nf came out. However, this shows that they'd rather please the loyal fans than the reviewers, so congrats to ANet for thinking about the peeps and also to a good update. (Would rather put in a finished update than a glitchy one for the reviwers). As said before, all that's needed is an instant in game auction. Really, as long as they keep making new expansions and w/e, these updates were all I needed.
/thanks
/thanks

It's Christmas come early!

Well this is certainly some good news.

I notice that the people who have called ANET lazy and uncaring for not putting in reconnects and party formations even just last week havent posted to apologize and kiss ANET's feet for their obviously false remarks.
But yes, this is a happy happy day! This game keeps getting better!

Party Search and Reconnects, two of the best Holiday gifts that Anet can give us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

SWEET!!!
AI bug going to be fix and now this!! sweet!!!! much love A-net keep up the good work. And Alex thanks to EB/GameStop. A few friends picked up NF at the great price/sale they are having =)
couldn't find this so....question/wonder... (not to sound like a jerk) what if get erro7 and log back in, then I'm assuming the character screen will display "get the heck back in your group and fight!!" next to the character that was disconnect. so like can i jump on a mule account and swap some stuff and then rejoin my party?

One word; Wow!
Great work ANet! This is what I(and i suppose many more players) were wishing for a long time. Good, now, the difference between dial-up and highspeed internet is being lower.(As i am a Dial-up internet user, with frequent disconnections.) Now, dial-up users can play as normally as other players without having all those disconnections problems, thanks to reconnects, Yay!!! Yay Candy Canes! Yay Wintersday! Woot dialup!
Well, that is politics, give them gifts at X-Mas, though, nice gift.
Happy holidays to ANet and to everyone !

This is great news, finally Anet starting to move the game towards being structured and persistent. Maybe even a real community will start growing again, instead of anti social people with heroes. GW hasn't got any big changes like this for awhile. Skill balances and new land is cool but content like this only adds to the depth of the game. Now only if we can get a auction house, a deeper guild system and the ability to view our party members energy in the party window....
I Write Sins
nice...always wanted that party formation...and reconnects sound nice too ^^

I posted this back on page 4 and never got an answer. It hasn't been stated specifically, so I just wanted to make sure that means that Wintersday will be celebrated in all 3 campaigns?

I love the reconnects. The afk while disconnected is a little disappointing though. The other team gets a free kill which works off dp and gives you dp. In some cases this could put you at 60 dp.
Why not just have your character cannot be targeted or take dmg while disconnected? Once the player reconnectes have an in game msg alerting players and a delay of say 30 seconds before the player can move or take any action.
Plz, Anet do what you can to prevent abuse. You guys have great ideas on adding things to your game for improvements but many times its implemented very poorly.

Say you are in a GvG a team ganks your base. You go to defend it. The gank team disconnects. Wait a few seconds for the base defenders to leave then reconnect. Poof they are instantly inside your base again. I can't wait to have reconnects I really do but I'm a little uneasy about appearing in the exact spot you were in when disconnected. You cannot have them appear at the base by default either. If I need to defend my base or save the GL I could just disconnect and reconnect again. How are you going to tell if its disconnect by choice or a real connection problem. I could just pull the modem connection for a few seconds and force an err7.

Sounds great. I wonder how the reconnect thing is going to work though. You get disconnected, and you end up in an outpost where you have the option to hit a button in a new small window and poof you reconnect? Does this mean you could change your skills before you reconnect? I guess that could be handy if a monk brought the wrong skillset, they could just disconnect, reroll their skills, then reconnect back in. Then again it can be abused too. That is assuming the reconnect feature works that way.
Same with the party formation feature. I hope it's some kind of queuing window where you just click a button to advertize your availability rather than another chat window that just chats across districts. Can you imagine how that would be abused? Traders would have a field day flooding the party formation chat with WTS's lol.
Boohoo.... I knew I shoulda sold all my candycanes when I had a chance =b

just wondering, was the recconects tested out early, Because one day i got err 7 and i was able to recontect, but from that point i wasnt able to.
