I FOUND A NEW SPOT ON MAP! NOW GET ME OUTTA THERE!Follow

I was hunting in Paludal Caverns and I was returning to home to go take my new horse for joy ride. I was crossing the bridge in Shadowhaven and went over the side of the bridge near Paludal Cavern area. I was day dreaming and not paying attention <blush>.

Now I am camped under the bridge on a post that holds up the bridge and my character can't gate. I swam the whole water area and could not find an exit on the side.... Then I notice a tunnel underwater, sort of like the one in Queynos that enters the catacombs. I am afraid to swim inside. Anyone know this place? It is not on the maps here on this site. Anyone who can gate wanna join me and help me find my way out? Scarey stuff.

While sitting there I decided to fish and I caught a weight-free backpack! What a find! I could not equip it because my inventory was full. Grrr. It vanished. What a wonderful find. Now if I can just get out alive.

this is what you gotta do.

/who all mage (55 or higher)

/tell __________ can you help me kind sir/plz i am stuck _________ and i need to be coth (call of the hero) out.

Or drown your self right under the bridge and /corps your body out of the water. I am not sure this method works though =P.

Accoding to this map it should be quite easy: www.eqatlas.com - Echo Caverns

Just as a note, never, ever, ever, under any circumstances for any reason ask for something using "plz" as an abreviation for please. If you can't be bothered to spell out please, then quite frankly, whatever you have to say probably isn't worth the other person's time.

Yeah - I did the same thing and it really sux. I did not find the tunnel because I was playing a Barbie Warrior with no serpent sight mods at the time and I was blind under the water. I had to /ooc and ask someone to port me out because that was the only way I could do it.

What server are you on? If on the Rathe and still stuck, I can log on and get you out with my Druid. But I would imagine allmost any decent Druid would be glad to help you. Do a "who all Druids" and find one that's in shadowhaven and send them a tell about your predicament and ask to be rescued and I imagine you'll get a favorable response. I think we all have gotten into similar fixes if we've played for very long.

Yes, be careful where you wander. I got stuck last week in Crushbone in a small pit behind The Wall. It was amazingly frustrating because I was *this close* to being able to jump out, yet no matter how many times I tried I fell back in.

Eventually a magician gave me levitate and I got out. Now, at least I know who I can ask if I get stuck again :) .

I remember once when I was taking my monk to Thurgadin the first time. I got to the bridge and looked over it out of curiousity. Well wouldn't you know it, I fell right in that pit. After smacking myself on the head a few times, I noticed a passageway in the corner. Thinking it might lead me to safety, I walked right through and zoned. Needless to say I was dead wrong about it being safe... (Icewell Keep Pit, no exit cept spells, lvl 50+ mobs too)

When me and my bro first started playing with a barb war/rogue duo, we finally made it to lvl 8. This was in the old days where you wore patchwork and used rusty weapons.. no handouts and no ubahs. Anyway we snuck into blackburrow to start a gnoll massacre. Near the Qeynos exit there is a little tree with a hollow trunk, it looked like a nice place to rest to me. We stepped in and plunged thru a pit into a water hole with TONS of red con gnolls barking at us. We never did get those bodies back....

(this was way back before rogues got invis or evade!)

Thank you all so much for your sympathy and help. I fished and used almost all my bait, then found a level 40 wizzy to port me out. Thank god, because that equipment was expensive and belonged to my lvl 33 cleric. I cannot afford to lose it. Otherwise the map of Echo Cavern probably would have worked, but I was afraid I would die. So I tried to bribe the wizzy and he did it for free, probably happened to him too once or twice.

Didn't anyone else notice the "I decided to fish and I caught a weight-free backpack"? I have never caught a container fishing, certainly not a no-weight bag.

Some of the oddest places I have even ended up are:

I once logged in after camping in the hallway in sanctur seru just in from dawnshroud peaks only to find myself outside the walls. There was bascially a continuation of the floor that I was standing on - if I went too far I would have fallen off the edge (the world really is flat :) )

I also once camped in the bank in Nerriak, and logged back in to find myself stuck in the wall. It took a lot of work to get free from there.

I also remember a time long, long ago when the portals between some of the zones were malfunctioning. I tried to zone from blackburrow to qeynos hills and found myself instead at the end of the hall beyond the point where you should have ported. Another time I was between east and west freeport.

I've even jumped off the boat from OOT to butcherblock and found myself under the hills.

In the old days falling through the earth would lead to a painful death and you had to petition the GM for your corpse and rez. Now you just end up at the safe point.

A lot of people have fallen in the water near the nexus portal in shadowhaven, and can't get out. I have also fallen in a pond in sanctus seru and had a hell of a time getting out.

You're talking about the wrong zone, she was in shadowhaven, under the bridge right near the paludal zoneline
