Three rivers twilight zone?

rounner

Chunking near three rivers last night it paused for a few seconds, then went to a loading screen for 20 seconds, then a different loading screen, then I saw the log on screen but from high up looking down for a few seconds, then another loading screen, then I was falling from high and landed about 2km away, on the other side of that chunk. A similar thing happened to my brother zoning through the same chunk.

Amusing, but whenever I read Brad saying 'seamless' and claim problems are because of hardware I have to laugh.

That's funny. That was a bug that I thought they said that they fixed in beta (the zone warp thing)...... But it sounds like the "chunk" crashed while you were chunking. That might explain the loading screens..... Dunno. That would've just been funny.

I have noticed some weirdness during zoning also, but nothing so bad as above. Sounds like the server was pretty confused!

someone on silkyvenom mentioned a post yesterday where the dev's talked about chunking and said something about it being a long term problem for VG, but I still haven't been able to find it.  I'd really like to know what they plan on doing about it or if they even can do anything about it.  It reminds me so much of crossing server lines in UO, which was a pain in the ass in 1997 and still was last time i played.
