There's a delay of a couple of seconds before they're disconnected where they still have full control over their account. The connection should be limited to one-way only, and their character removed from the game immediately.

I have also noticed this delay prior to even logging in while testing the account registration boolean. Should there be any reason why a connection should be held if Close() is called prior to any real login scenario?

Yes, the primary reason it was added is to give enough time for connection rejection messages to go through without just disconnecting them.

The rejection messages prior to in game login actually depend on the dropped connection before they are displayed. In game messages via chat menu are also held on screen even after the client displays "lost connection". I don't see any justification for this other than a client with a poor connection, but they might lose connection before receiving such a signal without the aid of the server to begin with.

The technical reason for keeping the connection open is because EOSERV has its own internal send-queue that has to be emptied before closing the socket. There's no reason to still accept data from the connected client, or to leave their character online other than the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
