Account still logged in?

Whenever I try to log in, it says my account is still logged in. THis might be because my computer crashed while playing. How do I fix this?

It is because your computer crashed, this means your client probably didnt close the socket with the server properly. You can "fix" it by simply waiting.

Most likely the server will ping the client, every now and then, to see if your still there, and your client will not respond this time by then you'll get disconnected. ( I cannot confirm if the server really pings the client, since I dont know this protocol. )
If you do not understand what im saying. Here's an example:

Perfect World: Hello are you still there?
Your computer: Yes.

Basically thats what pinging is, Perfect world asking your computer if you're still there, and normally would answer "yes" but since the socket isnt closed properly it wont answer and the server will close the connection, in short the server (perfect world) still thinks you're logged in. this is because your computer crashed so the client didnt close the socket properly.

So you basically have to wait before the server pings you ( most likely ) and figured that you're not there anymore.
