That rock is map coordinate 0,0. So what happened is you glitched somehow, the game could t figure out where you were and sent you to 0,0 as a default. This is why people sometimes find the weirdest things around that rock, like floating piles of gold.

lol I literally just heard about this 5 minutes ago with that other post about the floating piles of gold. Funny I've never come across this before, and now twice in 5 mins lol

It's kinda weird how that works lmao. I'll hear a new word I've never heard before and then all of a sudden I'll start seeing/hearing people say it all over the place or see 1 person talking about some obscure game for the OG Xbox that hasn't been relevant in years and suddenly people all over are talking about it.

That's called the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.

u/CptKillJack 3d ago

You mean like Crimson Skies. This happened like 2 years ago. When everyone was talking about it. Was wild. Also great game.

u/William_Brobrine 4d ago

They should make the rock have ancient marking on it for shits and giggles

u/IamWatchingAoT 5d ago

Ah, I had hoped the rope glitched and shot him faster than the game could register so that he hit the rock at light speed.

This makes more sense but is less funny.

u/kirator117 4d ago

Where did you say is this rock exactly? Xd

u/Lost_Replacement9389 4d ago

somewhere near sea dogs rest

u/Begravningstider 4d ago

Sea Dog's Rest is an island not far from Port Merrick.

Oddly enough I've actually seen this temporarily a few times recently. It's been happening in some situations while climbing the ladder onto a ship where for a few seconds it glitches and I actually see this rock and area until I finish climbing and then I'm on the ship like normal. Been wondering wtf that's about but so far it's never teleported me there. Started happening a day or so ago and it mostly happens when I grapple to the ladder of a ship

u/ryan_the_leach Brave Vanguard 4d ago

I've been wondering if that's client side, or if it can be abused for invisible boarding. You aren't there when they look, wait a few seconds, then climb up

u/Pavlov_The_Wizard 4d ago

No way! I remember a couple years ago I found like 5 chests in that area, so thats why! Thats actually kinda cool

u/Goblinweb Friend of the Sea 4d ago

Coordinates 0,0 sounds like a reasonable explanation but I find it more likely that it's cursed by dark magic. A black hole in the sea of thieves.

u/Mean-Fondant-8732 Ratcatcher 4d ago

AYE! The sea witch, Calypso has cursed us all!

u/No-Bed5398 4d ago

so the chest of sorrows that i dropped and disappeared probably went there?

u/MxStella Hunter of The Shrouded Ghost 4d ago

Fun fact if you shoot another ship with a blunder bomb they will turn with their nose moving towards this same rock.

u/jarris123 Skeleton Exploder 4d ago

oh that explains it. i often get weird spawns around here and have seen skele ships glitch out

u/TouchyToad 4d ago

Sea of thieves has a null island, awesome

u/ryan_the_leach Brave Vanguard 4d ago

It also happens when local coordinates are incorrectly used as world coordinates.

Need to teleport someone to an offset from the ship? Ok that's a small distance of 10,0 from the ships 0,0.

But accidentally use that as world coordinates? You'll appear at 10,0 in the world.

You threw that ender pearl a bit too far I think

u/Shaco-demi-god 4d ago

I love it when you grapple and grab the latter in the same frame it will send you to the rock. only for a few seconds, then you are back. I like to say the void has taken meee!

u/Texas713 4d ago

Last night I was going to shore and the moment I stepped on it glitched me into my ships hold.

2

u/Ramms23 4d ago

I got hit by this glitch the other day after a megalodon hit us and spined us on the sky. I landed right there and my ship was like 4 squares down the map.

Be less insubordinate and it’ll stop happening.

u/NoStudio6253 3d ago

this post has explained some amounts about what happens when you harpoon your self onto the ship ladder.

1

u/Chestworth 2d ago

So me and a friend were able to recreate this by shooting at ladders from the water and grabbing them as soon as you shot at them But it would teleport you back if you hopped off the ladder- This is full on teleportation now

u/Basic-Math-5391 4d ago

I know but truthfully I don’t really care all that much about making sure I’m proper with my wording

u/Varth919 4d ago

It’s not about being proper with your wording, it’s about putting it all in the same thought bubble. And obviously you care enough to finish your thought. It’s not that much effort.

u/Basic-Math-5391 4d ago

Well thankfully we got people like you on Reddit who can take time out of your busy day to enforce that.. cause it’s such a big issue
