    We introduced a new bug with 229. The boat that takes you from Vale Overworld to Novia Overworld puts you outside the map boundary. You can work around this by entering either Ardoris or Tower of the Shuttered Eye from the water side and using the exit points of those maps. Alternatively you can use the boat from inside Kingport to Ardoris.

    You can also help folks by hanging out outside Ardoris on the Novia Overworld and telling them to /zone to you as they show up trapped outside in the water. I've done it now for a couple of people.

    If anyone is feeling particularly generous of their time please take time periodically tonight and provide this service to folks. It would mean a lot to them and us.

    We hope to have a fix for this later tonight

    Just about to log in to see if one of the bugs I reported is fixed (was tied to something fixed in the 228 patch I think). After I confirm if its resolved I'll take up my shift and be on for awhile...

    Decided to use this to go swimming... we have a BIG ocean (I won't say how long I kept running... but land is a distant memory and I think the sharks are beginning to circle me).

    I was playing in the ocean until I left around 1:00 am PST and no one else got dumped while I was around. People are popping where they should, based on where BurningToad said they should, with the fix in place.

    But I have to admit this is one of the best bugs ever... especially with no boats in play.

    This is me after completing the circumnavigation of the continent (I'm the first outsider to do it I think).
    [​IMG]
    This is me after the exhaustion of circumnavigating the continent set in.
    [​IMG]
    And this is me getting to hang out with BurningToad (although he probably hated seeing someone in the water RIGHT after his fix went live, sorry). SOOOO MUCH FUN.
    [​IMG]

    Awesome job with the fix on this... though sadly I have to come in from the comforting waves at some point (we don't have boats yet so this is the closest I can get to sailing the world again... maybe I can convince them to throw me into the ocean again at some point).

    Completely random character building stuff for RP (eventually)
    I have images of the entire coast line, and inland, so as areas get opened up officially the story of my ancestor who was the first to brave the waters around Novia after the Cataclysm can be told. I won't do it before, unless devs give permission, as I don't want to misrepresent the game with images of unfinished and restricted areas, until the finished product can also be put up. That just isn't fair to the devs in my opinion so please don't ask.

    This should help give me some fun family history for my character and justification for either the explorer or cartographer titles, family trade and all that, when I do get stuff posted. If anyone wants to help write it or toss me some ideas to be incorporated in the story let me know (I'm also happy to toss in other characters for the story... but will take a bit of photo shopping if you want me to add your character in some of the images... shoot me a PM and we can figure something out if interested and remember it would be for an ancestor as this would have happened a little under 400 years ago).
