That Fel Reaver hit me so hard it sent me to… The Barrens?

Fel Reavers are gigantinormous demonic machine denizens of the Hellfire Peninsula…which is in Outland. Here’s the terrible twist: Omgcookies from the World of Warcraft Forums got hit by a Fel Reaver, died, and ended up in The Barrens – which is in Azeroth. Crikey, that was one mighty punch.

That Fel Reaver must have hit him VERY hard indeed. Blizzard poster Eyonix offered an explanation:

Basically, if you’re Horde and for any reason the game is unable to identify which graveyard to send your ghost, you’ll be ported to Crossroads. It’s not necessarily a bug connected with a specific portion of a zone, there are a variety of factors that can cause this type of communication failure.

Fortunately, it’s very rare.

Reportedly, Alliance players in turn get ported to Westfall. Hmm… If this happened to you (knock on wood), would you take the uber long hike back to Hellfire Peninsula? Or just heave a sigh and spirit rez?
