Character was never soulbound, in fact aludarcus has so far never cast bind, since creation.
Died in Crystal Caverns.
(10years out of game +autofollow=funny ;p)
Respawned in a box I could not leave by walking.
Walls were written with x, y z co-ords or something. untextured. etc.
maybe it was a door ? meant to be a door ?
anyway, seemed odd so I'm here submitting a screenshot for more details .

Could mean you are missing zone files, or that your zone files are corrupt but not sure.

I got stuck in one on live back in the day. was told it was a dev box. they use them for, well, i dunno what lol, but with those coords in there, you could /goto those coords to check zoning issues.. just a guess, cause im a noob mostly at this stuffs.

woops, forgot the happy ending:
I clicked my charm & ported to the starting glade.
Rebuffed, re-ported in , and survived the second try at traversing the zone. Went from the port-in spot that Elyse sends one to all the way through til I popped out in the Eastern Wastes, zero problems.
Maybe no one has run into this since people tend to 'bind early, bind often' especially on a squishie ...

They were commonly referred to as Dev Boxes, or Gm Boxes. Mainly used by GM's prior to the /hideme ability being implemented so that they could spy on people in a zone without actually being seen. Most pre-luclin zones have one.
