I've heard about this place, and with the help I've received from a very kind person (in the form of a flyer). I will get there.
I'm currently at 40,000 meters, and had a question. If I log out and set preferences as 'log in at last location' will I retain my height?
Has anyone been to this place?

When you log back in, I believe the maximum height you will return to is somewhere around 250m.

hank is right. if you log out above that height then back in, you'll be falling from a default height. i thought it was three-hundred meters though.

I've spoken to someone who says he's been there. I guess you could call him...cryptic.
Great guy though, and an awesome builder. Anyone else know anything about this place? _____________________

There's nothing up there. The only interesting effects you will see are the result of bugs. And they aren't THAT interesting to begin with.

And mostly, you didn't drink the right potion before you tried.  The effects are pretty interesting, whatever you might find up there. _____________________

People are trying to make it out more then what it really is... just because they are embarassed they wasted hours of there life trying to find this mysterious place that doesnt exist. I guess it brings some kind of justice to make others waste there time as some did.

Been there done that and Corn and I were up to over 80k meters one night...its kinda funny when the sun and moon merge into one and unlike on the surface the upper stratosphere you can see our world is SQUARE...ok CUBICAL.

lol, Billy, trust you to make a quixotic and explorative experience into a silly flame.
In my case, I locked the e-key down and went out for dinner with some friends. Came back and read for awhile as my avatar continued its ballistic journey. When the weird sky-and-av effects started, I stopped and explored them. Took pictures. Logged out, came back on, and built something. Remove the cork and try it for yourself. _____________________

Hehe, sorry for bumping this up, I was looking around for my name to see what people are talking about me..
I made it around 25 million meters up, the sim went crazy and slowed down alot (maybe it was from the 100 push scripts heh) Someone was just fooling you. I did this for the fun of it. I found that your avatar disappears after 1 million meters, and right before that, it is stretched out. Pretty cool stuff. _____________________

...you can see our world is SQUARE...ok CUBICAL. Funny you should say that, Shadow... I took this snap a while back from around 200 million meters up. Its a bit blurry unfortunately... my draw distance was set so high I was lagging phenomenaly and so had to do a long exposure. |

Let's have an event where we go up to the mystical 16 million meter mark and take snapshots of what's there. I'll stay on the ground and direct people which way to go. Everyone can send me IMs and snapshots.
Afterwards, we can go snipe hunting. -AP |

You might be joking, but I was actually planning on making a script that would allow for a synchronized ascent... way back in the day. I made a crude version and then never completed it.
Actually, my SL profile pic was taken on that very day, back in 2003! That's me, Christopher Omega, and Darwin Appleby, way up in the air _____________________
