Anyone know WTF just happened to me??

[AxiamInc]

Just had soemthing terribly strange happen and wonder if it's ever happened to you all... Here's the scenario:

I decide to take a break from imbuing, so I turn the television on one of my computer monitors. Sit back and watch an episode of south park with UO on one of the other screens. About 15 minutes later (im sitting in Luna by the way, reading all the spam during the commercials) the client crashes, or loses connection, which isn't all that uncommon for me.

I pay it no mind and finish the end of the show and decide to get back to grinding imbuing. Close the client, reopen, login, game loads...and I'm now standing in the middle of the desert!! And hidden to boot...Huh??

Did they put in anti-banksitter code or something?? I'm not in an area that this character has a rune to, didn't run through a moongate, nothing. I'm just randomly parked there, on a toon that doesn't even have a shread of hiding...hidden?!?

I'm lost on this one...any ideas??

Thanks

First I suggest changing your password, just in case. Other than that I have no idea what happened lol.

The aliens abducted your character!

Seriously though, why do you think the client crashed? Sounds sort of like a telestorm. Which desert were you in? Was it near the Compassion Shrine perhaps?

Not sure what shard you're on, but Pacific has been telestorming characters out of crowded areas for the past week.

Hmm, I know if someone else logs into an account that is already online, the one who logged in first gets disconnected.

Soo yeah. Change your password, etc.

Tell me about it! I flipped out, ran off and immediately changed my passwords. I've never heard of a telestorm, so you can imagine the panic that ran through my mind, especially since I recently bought a castle...eeks

I am on Pacific, but had absolutely no idea this was happening to people. Thanks for letting me know.

This has happened to me several times... just some weird bug.

 

[jtw1984]

Happened to me a couple times. Was in the ?Yomotsu? Mines and then lost connection. I immediately log back on and my character is at the cross roads in brit fel.

 

[Eyes of Origin]

Had it happen to me too before. The first time I freaked and reset all my passwords, but its happened so many times since then I figured it was a bug or something. Had it happen on Origin and Pac.

Did they implement a new feature where if you get disconnected you get teleported somewhere random (and hopefully safe)?

 

[Kat]

During the AoS launch there were problems with players "blackholing" and/or freezing in place. Shortly thereafter, they put in some code that would teleport you to a safe place... IE.. a town or another area with a GZ.

What happened to you doesn't sound at all like that. I think I'd be pretty upset if that happened to me on Siege or Fel [any other shard] and that happened! I guess maybe in Trammel, you'd be safe enough in most places, though. *shrugs*

 

[HippieMagic]

Were you teleported to a shrine? That has happened to me from time to time. It is just the Blackhole code doing it's thing.

And Luna Pac was kind of crowded last night when it happened.

Not overcrowded though.

Me and the stupid horse billboard got sent to what looked like Malas desert hidden area inside mountains? Didn't stay long enough to see.

Thought maybe GMs were hinting at me to go away and shut the fudge up.




Happened to me one other time sent to Malas area near Grimswind I think that time from Luna bank also.

Both times since SA came out.
