Death Grip Bug is Full of Win and GM Warnings

There is a new, or recently found, Death Grip bug that when used dueling on a particular boat in Booty Bay will send the character on a very long ride. Apparently when gripped from the dock by a DK on the boat you confuse the game because the DK isn’t technically on the map. Check out the video below to see what happens:

Careful though, doing so can have some adverse affects. Dril in the forums warns:

I urge extreme caution when doing this, both me and a friend had our characters put in the middle of the Great Sea and cannot log back on. I don’t know what went wrong but we are now having to request GM help because there is no way we can get the char back.

Dahnek even got a friendly GM warning:

Spread the DK:

best. bug. ever. I simply couldn’t resist messing with people with this bug, which led to a very confused lvl 41 horde druid, a lvl 80 orc warrior, and a lvl 80 NE warrior who dueled me at the boat in BB:P

Best bug ever xD Asked a friend to come down to BB and try it :P and i launched his priest into the middle of the great sea, and now he can’t log in on his priest :/ Then i went to eat (kinda stupid of me to go afk at the boat), and when i came back i was flying through Eastern Kingdoms, luckily tho i landed on the boat that is under Alterac Mountains and was able to use my HS :P
