No Role-Play Intensive MUD penalizes or punishes players for not logging off before a reboot nor have they ever. Such a policy is contrary to the principles of RPI because reboots are OOC and hence are not treated within the game as in-character. Southlands uses CircleMud but again I've never seen any sign that they do something as you've described. Shadows of Isildur, Harshlands and Black Sands use a soft-reboot which made this type of interruption unnecessary. As for Armageddon, they used to shut down for part of one day each week in order to do any code and building updates all at once instead of disrupting RP with reboots. All of the other RPIs are either not yet open or not active (essentially not open since their staff aren't checking character applications). Hence your statement could not be true.
