I was loading into an arena match to observe and somehow ended up loading into some guys tutorial mission in praetoria, i proceeded to help him kill the couple guys and asked, wtf? how did i get in here? he said hi and didnt really seem to think it was anything odd, but here i was on my lvl 50 corr running around in somebody tutorial mish in praetoria lol,

at the end it proceeded to load into praetoria and at first i thought it was going to get even better, a 50 corr showing up in praetoria lol. but it threw me in atlas halfway through the load, kind of disapointed lol.

There have been a few other stories over the years of people accidentally loading into missions or SG bases they shouldn't have. For example there was that classic one of a Brute in Atlas Park that supposedly happened several years ago.

It happened so rarely before the Devs obviously had no automatic way to "fix" it. Now I think there's code in place to automatically put you back in a "safe" place like what happened to you. Otherwise you might have become the first Primal in Praetoria.

The Brute event was funny because he joined a hero SG, which broke any attempt by the Devs and GMs to safetly move him back to redside. I remember seeing Ghost Widow literally chasing the guy around to put him back in the right world

I've got a screencap of a mastermind in Atlas Park back in October 2006. He was the center of attention for quite awhile that day. LOL

I remember being called to the computer so I could be shown a Brute starting a KTF about a year or two ago.

With the arrival of I18/GR people have wanted to be able to have "crossfactional" SG memberships. Obviously the Devs decided to officially deny us that capability, but it's funny that the game code apparently allowed that to happen years ago. Makes one wonder just how much of a problem it'd actually be to let it be possible on purpose, not just by pseudo-accident.

I think the issue is right now you can't be in both a hero and villain so they are limiting it till they figure out exactly how they want that to work.

The Mission Transporter power originally allowed level 50s to join a team with a level 1 in the training mish and join them in Outbreak
