Honestly I think you guys should be patient and wait for him to respawn. The fact is that glitches and hiccups will happen in servers. It is just the nature of the beast. While this may be somewhat inconvenient, losing Jack of Irons isn't some big detriment that makes NCsoft owe the player.

Hey, in my mind, if you're VIP, you send a petition, the GM should totally respawn Jack for you.
Acknowledged, some may feel there are some entitlement issues here.
Also, patience is a virtue. There are probably another couple of Jacks running around as well, or would be within 5-10 minutes.
But, yeah, it gets a little wearisome when patient, polite and well meaning people suggest that the player base shouldn't expect service because "these things happen".
So what. If it happens, fix it. If the gms don't want to fix it, they can complain to their bosses and maybe these problems will start to be addressed.

Seems like the server thing was kinda sudden and unplanned as there are other threads talking about it...
That said, I've had a similar issue to where I've had my group in mid wallup and all of a sudden the GM dies, but no rewards. Come to find out the timer (they're only up for a certain amount of time I guess) had dinged server side and the spawn reset. I forget how long before we found the next spawn, but it was rather annoyingly inconvenient.
I don't see where you've posted the results of your petitions (if any), but I'm sure they have to keep things fair across the board. IE: respawning has the chance to mislead some into thinking that the Devs will respawn at-will. This would have been nice in my example, but unless we're sitting in the decision chair, then we'll never know.
Only timed despawn I can think of is Scrapyard.
Jack and Eocahi have the issue where if they are fighting each other when you find them, due to regen, you might not do enough damage to qualify for rewards.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
After a little under a week of looking for Jack in Irons we finally found him sitting in his throne (never seen a GM doing an emote before).
Recruited 7 heroes, was about to jump in anddddd everyone lost connection.
Less than 2 minutes later, we're all back and Jacks gone. 7 petitions (some people multiple times) and nothing.
Server status didn't seem to ever see them drop. It was around 12:15am EST.
Anybody else think there's a bit of responsiblity on the CoH team's side? We could have easily beaten it, and only were asking for it to be respawned, to correct the mistake on their servers part. What do you guys think?
