You rode a horse into the room and were standing in the saddle. You grabbed a magical item that transported you and not your horse onto the ship's deck. You fell.

yeah, so the code seems broken. How do you float, go north, then fall on your ass? Sure I can do it myself in standing. First time this has happened to me. Just pointing out an -odd- "feature" of the code.

normal people don't put code makes you fall for no reason.

Normal code would slow you down when you are reclining and try to move. When you are a lowbie rogue, sneaking causes you to move way slowly. Yet you can spam rooms while reclined w/o lag. Go figure.

Thil,

1) You rode a horse in.

2) grabbed a magical ladder that moved the room you were in

3) found yourself in a new room with no horse

4) fell on your ass

what's wrong with the code?

I was in the room after grabbing the ladder. Am I levitating or something the entire time? That's the part that's silly. It's not until I move north that I fall. The code is erroneous to let you levitate after grabbing the ladder.

You were standing in the saddle, approximately 3 feet from the ground when you grabbed the rope.

The rope transported you into the next room still 3 feet above the ground.

Gravity kicked in.

You posted.

We laughed.

gormal, you nerd! just pointing out the game doesn't allow certain things, like "bashing your brains out", but when your horse takes off, or you "magically move" somewhere, you would still be mounted. It's ah broken...ah feex it!

on list of priorities, I would think this one would be LOW.

There's other more important game issues that need fixing.

I'm just talking about color for the game. I never said it was important! :P

They have the sticky threads on fixing code. Guess I should have posted it there. Clearly it's a bug. When fly wears off, you can die immediately. Thinking of someone riding an imaginary mount is rather entertaining..only to discover gravity upon an attempt to move out of the room

Ever see the Tom and Jerry cartoons where they run off canyons but don't fall until they realize they're running on air? Welcome to the Thilindel cartoon.

It happens with fly too, maybe not with spell but with eq. I dont think its really a bug, eventually you will fall. Probably just tick timing at its greatest.
