    I know we're not supposed to file bug requests, change requests, etc. on player-owned towns, but I find myself in something of a quandary. I'm the Governor of Blackbear Cove, and I found my player-owned (surface) town on the map. It's an island... and I have no idea how to get over to it. I can't find a ship, boat, land bridge or other method of ingress. It's RIGHT in front of me, teasing me....

    Am I missing something? Help?

    Same for me!

    It's a known issue and in the latest patch notes.

    Some island's can be double clicked. Dragon's End is one.

    They're working on fixing this, tonight if we're very lucky. Just be patient and hope for a patch. :)

    Here's a picture of me literally waiting to access my POT. That's me on the rock just waiting it out...

    I've been able to get my cursor to turn green, no prob. Just nothing loads and my screen turns black. Mind you I haven't been able to try since patch 293, so my experience could be outdated.

    After about 20 min of trying I think I made it in to urs.. if ur by the spewing lava river surrounded by black rock. I vaguely remember the name though I think it was black bear c0ve.

    Though when I zoned out I ended up on the other side of the world ; (

    That sounds like my little volcanic paradise, all right. Hmmm, what was the secret to getting onto the island?

    Get as close as possible and move ur mouse till it turns green, if u don't get it move a bit to the left or right and try again.

    I've tried repeatedly, but my cursor never changes. Maybe you were at a different island? There seem to be invisible "rails" keeping me from getting close enough from the shore.

    No I made it on ur island, my sister has the one just to the left of u by the clifs, when leaving urs it teleported me to the other side of the world I was so mad it's why I remember urs.

    Just get as close as the invisible walls let you and move camera arround till it goes green if it don't work rinse and repeat. Took me 20m to get on ur island

    Well, now I can get to the island, but I'm not marked as its Governor. So... hmm. This would be a problem. I can't place any lot markers. I'll tinker around a bit longer, but I may need to file a bug on this. :-/
