This has happened to me a few times. I just put it down to lag, but maybe not lol.


From: Elessar Bikcin
I have had several "traveling" experiences:

Once I somehow fell off a "cloud" and continued to rise in spite of every effort to stop....re-logging, re-loading, punching computer, etc. I swear I ended up in orbit around Neptune until it ceased 40 minutes later....

My most recent episodes have been with being sent in a downward walk into the bowels of SL "Earth" with no means of stopping.

Never a dull moment when traveling in this world!

Snap on both counts lol. When I try to fly, sometime (flight feather or no) I seem to either sink or rise, and not be able to do anything about it. I've also had a few problems with the walking down through the floor thing. Always fun :)

If this happens when you cross a region border, it´s "normal". :o If you just keep walking you´ll resurface.

Bit off topic, but one of my favourite music venues is spread across a couple of sims. At the broder crossing they have a sign that says something like "warning, troll lurking below, he may try to drag you down, but just keep walking". I love that one :D

I have no idea who Joni Mitchell is, and I say that after first looking on Wiki.


'Both Sides Now' is one of the most beautiful songs in the world ever. Its definately high on my list of songs to sob quietly to. Btw, if anybody ever wants to sob quietly to music - my list is brilliant.

I sometimes appear in the air high above the ground when I TP to somewhere new and strange. I kinda like it - like a wierd dream.

When I land I always feel like sobbing quietly.

Write it down? Post it in JIRA? Why, Dear, that will take work and means taking action for a result. It is much easier to whine here and see that nothing gets done about it. :p


With this you finally did earn your place on these forums :)

Trying to solve problems doesnt quite fit in with the majority Oryx... be careful with that ;)

Cheers, Marcel

I'm beginning to wonder if when we teleport somewhere we kind of start at a higher altitude and then lower if it's clear. I'm just thinking of a couple of teleports last night where I wasn't quick off the mark to move and ended up with people landing on top of me. Someone did it at the hangout just the other night. I wonder if Bradley is rezzing too quick!!! That's it!! You need some more lag! ;)

i only seem to experience this falling when teleporting from a land search result or from a slurl. its a recent thing as well.



i love melancholy music that i can quietly sob to.

I'm also having TP issues.....not just the "plummeting from a great height" one but also the "missing the target by a mile" problem, especially when linking from SLURLs.

/me is fed up of hitting the ground at 100mph - such an embarrassing way to arrive at a club ;)
/me is also sick of trekking halfway across a sim to find the actual TP point I wanted..

Hmm this happened to me last night... but then didn't for my next two Search/Places. Seems really random to me.
