Ok, I need some help. For the last 4 days, I’ve been trying to solve the following dilemma, using Linden Lab’s Support department. They’ve been looking into it, but nothing of what they do is proving useful (is anyone surprised?).
This is a screenshot of the almighty minimap, showing the boundaries of the Lost Grounds sim, which is located on the western coast of the Satory continent, that curious landmass south of the very popular Nautilus and Nautilus City. The sim’s parcels are occupied by several private owners and a couple of rental services (you can’t escape them, can you?). I currently own a plot, which I have identified with an A in this picture. I “claimed” it three weeks ago (more or less), and have been trying to build something suitable for regular living and sailing activities, so I placed a self-made dock in the area shaded lilac. As you can see, the only way I can get out of this parcel by sea is sailing into the west (and no, I’m not looking for Frodo way beyond the realm of men), to the protected Hamlen region. The direction is marked with a white arrow, pointing at an empty coastal waterway.
Just in the opposite side of the sim, there is another parcel, identified as B in the picture above, which I’ve also shaded lilac. The plot is owned by a rental service, and is currently occupied by a club of some sort –a small venue; nothing that may trouble the neighborhood. Of course, that lot is on the eastern side of the sim, facing Razorwulf, which is the region to the east of Lost Grounds. Obviously, in no way it has any contact with Hamlen. Said parcel is almost full, with only 54 prims left unused.
Now, here is the ordeal: whenever I set sail from parcel A, heading west, on a boat with a land impact of more than 54 prims, I immediately get the ship back to my inventory at crossing… well actually when reaching the border with the Hamlen sim. The message states:
Your object ‘INSERT THE NAME OF THE BOAT HERE’ has been returned to your inventory Lost and Found folder from parcel ‘CASEnetwork Grunge City with Live Stage’ at Lost Grounds 254, 167 because the parcel is full.
Do you see the WTF thing? Parcel CASEnetwork Grunge City with Live Stage (at coordinates Lost Grounds 254, 167) is the one identified with a B: the one located on the eastern side of the sim, 256 points away from Hamlen. The parcel from which I’m trying to sail out of Lost Grounds is L’Ouest (stupid name, I know); it’s the one identified with an A, on the western side, at coordinates Lost Grounds 2, 167. So basically, we have a remarkable “discovery” here: the Lost Grounds sim is the first (or who knows) officially round sim in all the grid. Someone call Magellan, please!!!
This is annoying of course. I got a protected waterfront parcel that doesn’t act the part because according to Second Life, I’m departing from the west and, as it happens on a round world like Earth, arriving “back” to the east.
The Linden support staff has restarted the sim thrice, and as I’ve been told, it underwent updates during today’s rolling restart. According to the last message, the surrounding regions have also been synched, and apparently the region was “forced” to another host. Yet, the problem persists.
Does anyone has any idea of what’s going on? Please, let me know so I can tell the support staff how to deal with it once and for all.
I’m beginning to think that moving to the Mainland was a bad idea after all…
