Ranger animal empathy henchmen disappear on server jump, as the title says.

It seems that those henchmen are the only ones that are wiped out by server transition and people summoning other things still have them while transferring between servers.

It would be nice if that was fixed somehow. The server definitely has ability to transfer critters between servers (because you can drag captives across boundary),.

The main problem is that certain animal empathy companions are hard to acquire, and some server transitions are sudden and unmarked. So you fight through a dungeon, open a door, expecting a normal transition, but the door is actually a server jump, and your companion poofs.

empathy henchmen are not the same as summons, so i think this is why

I was under the impression animal henchmen were supposed to travel across servers much like summons and henchmen gained through leadership.

I was under same impression, but they don't travel across servers.

Originally only one of the two animals was a henchman, and another one was dominated temporarily and it would wear out.

Currently both beasts are henchmen, but if you go across boundary, they poof.

And yes, you can drag leadership henchmen across the servers.
