Kai, your point is valid, except that to my knowledge, nowhere in the
documentation as it exists did it tell me I could simply hit escape again to
return to the game. If it's operator error, it's operator error based on
lacking a piece of information. And as you and others including me have
pointed out, this becomes a great way of cheating death.

I personally think this is a case of operator error, not game error. If you
hit escape and hit enter on multiplayer, it respawns you... this has been in
since day one of multiplayer support. The fact that it respawns you without
your last saved equipment has also been there since the safe zone's
inception.
I do agree with che about a 30-second delay to keep players from cheating
out of zombie swarms, but aside from that, if you hit escape and then hit
enter to return to the game, how is that Swamp's fault? Just hit escape
again. Perhaps the Y/N prompt would be prudent, but that doesn't totally
eliminate the possibility; someone else is going to manage it and complain
about the same thing, then we'll have to make changes to accomodate that
eventuality, too.
This is tantamount to saying that you closed Word without saving a document,
and are now frustrated that you have to start over from the last time you
saved.

Actually I'm also not sure how pressing escape got you out of the game. You
should have had to arrow to exit game and press enter. Pressing escape
should just bounce you back and forth between the game and the main menu
without ever exiting you.
