Why is it that normally then if i get disconnected as long as I'm not in olc
(or at the main menu even) when I reconnect it connects fine and says "You
take over your body, already in use..."

If your connection lags out but is not broken, you cannot reconnect until
the other connection times out. This is due to the possibility of
equipment/money duplication otherwise. If it annoys you, you'll have lots
of rich people running around with hundreds of one-of-a-kind weapons.
