Okay so I lagged (well the actual server didn't lag, I just was doing something not on the computer, and I didn't realize I had stopped on a gate) next to a Brahmin pen gate, and it now says "(blocking)" over my head. I know what this means, and I really don't want to be killed. Does this sign over your head EVER go away? Or do you have to be killed to reset it?
Edit: Also, I'm assuming there is no way to get it so that the gaurds will protect you again?
