Meh. Not too excited 'til I actually see reconnects in-game. I'm not saying I don't trust Anet... ...well, ok, I am.

Reconnects / Party Search are two of the BEST features you've added in a long time and a bit speechless getting them both in so soon, Thank You isn't strong enough but at a loss of better words.

Felt like adding a second THANKS, for the sake of all the times I've criticized some aspect of the game

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye.

Thats what I am going to sing to all the survivors who error 7 and die due to their character being there for 10 minutes.

Now that is one reading of your question, the other is less flattering: "Do I have to be connected when I get disconnected?" Which I'm not even gonna bother typing a response to.

Im asking if, when you get disconnected, does my computer have to send a message to the GW servers. The rest ill figure out on my own.

Nice updates and surely will come in handy. Now all we need is the hairstylist NPC and auction house and the most requested updates are added.

I would have to say this is a great update. It would have saved quite a few Sorrow's Furnace, Underworld, and Fissure of Woe runs back in the day, since when you play for several hours at a time in UW or FOW, according to Murphy's Law of GuildWars, all your monks and minion masters will be on unstable wireless connections and get err=007.

I woulkd expect that your client sends a message if you disconnect properly, ie logout, etc, but that if you err7, etc that message is not sent and ANet's servers not getting such a message implies that some problem has occured and you should be thrown into afk mode.
