WoW Deathknight Deathgrip Bug
tags:
Stumble ThisNeat little bug/glitch. Using Death Grip from the boat on a character on the dock during a duel in Booty Bay causes the Death Gripped character to take a 8+ minute flight across and through the world.

What happens after the trip around the world? Does he land back on the dock and continue the duel?
What a strange effect! I'm sure the first person to accidentally do this freaked out at first.

If you watch the video to the end, you end up landing on the deck of a ship floating in the middle of no-where. If you jump off the ship you fall to your death and cannot retrieve your corpse.
...Death grip is also handy for pulling people to their deaths from high places...
We assumed in the end that the second boat is a point that the game refers to as a parent object, possibly to avoid people getting stuck in limbo between maps if the server is having problems; they'd just be dumped there during the loading screen. Sometimes you can see similar problems like this at peak times. There's a small chance that if you try to get into an instance of some kind and have a disconnect then (if you're Alliance) you'll be ported to the graveyard in Westfall, perhaps because that's a parent for the graveyard / resurrection mechanic.
This also worked for us on the Menethil -> Theramore and Menethil -> Valgarde boats, sending us to the same underground boat.
By the way, this can also be done to any hostile mob or player in Booty Bay so if you're on a PvP server just stay away from the boat!
I played WoW up until a few months before WotLK shipped and sold my accounts. Wonderful game, but I haven't really looked back. Definitely a "time vampire" if you want to maintain the level of gear needed to make the game really fun.
