I am sitting on a plot of land that is supposed to be mine. However, it is not. The title of my main screen states that, yes, I am on my land. However, the view I have is of a river I am standing within, on the edge of a neighbors property.

We all get along well here, so I asked neighbors for information. One sees me, when I am at the land location, at home, standing outside my building. They do not see me, on their property, nor did they see when they pushed me. However, when I type, and I am on their land and they are way over on mine, we can hear one another.

Another neighbor steps in, and she sees me where I stand, at the river, and yet I can't hear her and she can't hear me when we chat.

We use IMs to talk about the situation.

I have reported this to many, and I have given up on help through other sources, so I have come here for help.

Does anyone have any clue how to handle such a thing? Being in two places at once (I am two dots on the screen (mini-map), but I am one dot on the large map) is very strange. I don't like it, and it's becoming something of a pain in the you know what. I like my house, my land, and yet I'm stuck in another spot. I can't build, I can't change my clothing, I can't move.

Anyone who has any insight into what I may do will be of great appreciation from me.

I have already tried:

Reporting this as a bug.

Removing SL and reinstalling SL.

Being banned from various neighbors properties in hope of being pushed home.

Trying to delete objects that hover around me while at home. (A hair piecer, some shoes, etc..)

Being pushed home by a neighbor. This only resulted in laughter more than help. :)

I'm a patient person. I can avoid home for a time, but why should I be miserable there?

So, I need help!

Thank you for your ears.

I'm a little confused. Are the ghosted or cloned avatar when you log on? I mean are the one that cannot move from your nieghbor's property or the one who is standing next to your home? Aside from seeing two of you on the mini map, can you see yourself in the other spot when you log on? Also is that ghosted/cloned avi still in the spot when you log off.......ask your neighbors or log on as an alt to see.

I have no clue what would cause this since I've never heard of such a thing happening. The pushing normally forces the servers to get around to logging off a "ghosted" avatar. But your nieghbors have tried that. There is a scheduled rolling restart tomorrow. Maybe that will clear it up for you.

Not much help I know.........but this is stumper. Good luck.

The rolling restarted fixed it.

Thank the gods.
