What kind of malarkey is this?

For the past few days I have seen a few PCs popping up afk on top of this ledge in Ul'dah. Anyone want to fill me in with the secrets to make this possible?

Either you're losing packets or they're abusing faulty terrain checks/pos hacking, which is most likely.

They are either teleporting (exploit) or its a positioning glitch because your clients not showing their actual position because its already invaded by another player (which it looks like it might be, his normal position might be at the foot of that tower but because his friends sitting right on top of him when the game trys to render it for you it just dumps him in the closest empty spot.

lol!! pelase post a thread on game bugs with more info!

I want to know how to get up there too...

If you do /dance emote directly below that position followed by /laugh followed by /doze it teleports you up there. But you may have to try a few times.

I seen this a bunch of times, I figured it was just like when someone lags through objects or walls, to him hes infront of the wall but to you hes on top of the wall.

It happens a lot.

Wow i didn't think that would actually work but it did...

If anybody remembers the boundary oddity that let you hop onto the Airship's sides or into Valkurm's water on FFXI, it's the same exact concept. You just need to run into a certain spot at a certain angle and you'll pop right up.
No hacks involved whatsoever. I'll leave the "where" bit up for you to discover.

That was my hunch and multiple people from my linkshell have been running at every possible corner but none of us have been able to get up. Oh well, I guess I will keep trying.
