vanishes... am i party to some bizarre new bug? or is this something new

Are you standing close to the bank? They seem to have made it
impossible to cast a gate next to a bank...

3rd possibilty is jerks have learned they can irritate you by using Dispell
Field spell on gates. I have had clowns following me around while I had
characters doing escorts dispelling and last night had one doing it so I
couldn't get a newb out of a spawn area and back to town. Tried to talk him
into going gray so I wouldn't have to take a MC, but naturally it didn't
work.

Depending on your connection (fast enough, lagging enough, raining out, etc.),
You can cast gate, use mana and regs, and possibly see it or not if the target
is blocked by a player, NPC, bird, etc. Another possibility to go along with
the 'dispel' idea a bit further down is that it is being dispelled from the
receiving end. Could also be some wierd geography change that might be caused
by the building of the dark <whatevers> in the towns now.
They (OSI) has turned off the ability to recall to lots of places recently,
it might be screwing up with gates that go there.

If where your rune is marked is next to a house, you will get that.

you
town and I wasn't receiving the info from the other side of the boundry
line. I was gating from Moonglow to the Skara Brae forrest. It seems that
there is a boundry between these two spots. I also changed my rune location
out of the shadow of my neighbors Tower. All this may sound a bit screwy
but what do you expect from the company that is burning Trinsic for NO
reason?!?

If a marked rune is right next to a building (not sure about objects)
the gate will open and then close. You will have to remark the rune in
an open area.
If the gate was dispelled on the other side, you can still enter your
gate, but couldn't come back through the same gate because it wouldn't
be there. And you'd noticed if someone dispelled your opened gate.
It has nothing to do with packet loss as others have claimed. That
would mean that you lagged for 30 seconds. And if that did happen, the
gate would still be on your screen, until you came back. :)
Hope this helps.
