    In the past few days I have had an issue whereby I spawn in a random place when I join the server. It doesn't happen every time but so far it has happened to me 4-5 times. It was annoying to be spawned at spawn every time I join the server, but this is even worse.

    Twice, I have been spawned high in the sky in the middle of nowhere and fallen to my death.

    These deaths are especially annoying because I typically switch servers in order to sell/buy at the market and therefore I am carrying valuable items.

    I am not asking for a refund of items because I cannot prove what was in my inventory and I understand the server has a policy against it. However, I am a donator on this server and I do have a certain level of expectation with regards to basic functions of the game. This spawn bug has been around for quite some time now and I feel that it is high time that it is addressed properly.

    Here are some screen shots of today's death. As you can see I'm in the middle of no where, not even close to spawn.

    Anyway, as you can tell I am not amused since this is the second time, but I believe there's no use in crying over spilt milk. Ultimately I just want to see this issue resolved as soon as possible.

    This is related to an issue that me and @Slind14 have been trying to investigate, basically if you log into M+ after being on M2, the inventorysync plugin we use seems to be trying to set your coords on M+ to the same as the location you logged out of M2 at, and if you logged out of M2 while on top of a mountain then that will spawn you high in the sky, or if you logged out of M2 while underground, then it can potentially spawn you inside a wall leading to suffocation.

    Let me assure you, we are doing our best to get to the bottom of it.

    Are both spawns at same loc ? Then you could bypass this for now by simply doing /spawn before changing servers.. Or perhaps you could make sure that the locs are safe...
