If you are getting a message that you are being unstuck its not server lag. Its clearly admin abuse. Also a lot of people in a small area does not cause server latency, it causes fps issues on your device trying to render all the images at 20 times per second.

It's lag. Happened to me several times in the last few years when I was helping at towers.  

I've been warped to start randomly before, but it hasn't been an exodus of the whole guild warping. Strange.

This is not an admin thing to be clear. This is a glitch currently going on. It happens to me as well.

This happened to me several times.

For the record, you BETTER BELIEVE that staff can warp you without a message appearing. Absolutely 100% possible.

But, even if it is not admin abuse, why are we dismissing this as "oh, it's just lag"? Why should someone be warped to the middle of the server if they are lagging in a guild fort that is on the other end of the server?

Can't we do better? How hard would it be to make a script unique for each guild fort that warps the lagger outside of the fort instead of unstick me? Why can't we do the same for people who lag their way onto a wall inside of a fort?

Don't dismiss important problems by accepting stupid explanations. Scripting can solve most problems in this game. Demand more from development staff.

If a staff warps you you will always get a message saying "An admin has sent you to an unstick me point." They can summon players without giving messages, but that requires them to get everyone's PC. I don't think this was a power abuse situation.

If they warp you by a script that displays that message. No message will appear if they warp you via Remote Control (RC). No message will appear if they warp you via some other unauthorized admin script.

But, again, why can't we fix the problem of lag warping with a simple script that warps you outside of the guild fort instead of to unstuck me?

I don't get why they would do that seeing there is a preset command for unsticking players. I want to know how fast and how many people from the guild were warped.  

1. It is not staff warping players.

2. See below:

Someone has already brought this up, but I couldn't replicate the issue when I tried to do it. If you can work out the conditions of when it happens then it could be looked into. Right now it's a bug that seems to be inconsistent and there doesn't appear to be anything obvious that would be causing it.

Ya, its only lag. This happens commonly at Mod because a lot of people. I could also see this happening often at DW cuz its always laggy. And if its only happening when large guilds attack, thats the reason, more ppl=more lag lol.

No, this is not admin abuse. If an admin personally warps you, you will get a msg saying something like "An admin has placed you at the starting point because..."

That happened yesterday morning. :p  

its because towers suck  

it happens when you walk into the door way with a lot of people. it happens most at deadwood. i am guessing the server or the device cant handle it. when we get attacked with big numbers we warp when we go into the door way same as if we attack.

This is a new thing?

I think tower taking has escalated to using far too many members, and guilds are too open about their recruitment. It seems like anybody can just ask and join a tower guild, and it certainly does not help the latency factor to have dozens of players in such a small area.

I'm not suggesting anyone start limiting recruitment for a tower guild, since it appears you won't have much luck convincing other guilds to do the same when essentially you are handing them the advantage of more players on a silver platter.  

Uhm yeah... Im pretty sure it is admin, i had this twice, then i got warning jail for "chat blocking at mod tower" So i asked Gangsta whats going on an he told me chat blocking is blocking a doorway in a tower and holding chat on same
time, i dont see why this is illegal while normaly blocking isnt.

Makes it harder to kill you.
