I want to know about the different kinds of "worldhopping."

Do some of them work when others don't?

If one way doesn't work, others won't! With a few exceptions, like a chessboard with its access controlled by the gamemaster. So there's no reason to waste time on multiple attempts. Usually it's temporary.

How do you know when it's temporary?

Re: [handwritten]

If it works after a major event in your world, then it's temporary. The community seems to like some things to happen without outside meddling. At least we usually get a show out of it.

I don't think that's the problem here.

What did you mean by a "chessboard"?

The setup for life-or-death struggles between immortals to alleviate their boredom!

[ifbymyhands]

Usually not. Don't tell me your world got locked!

I was only able to "worldhop" for that winter party.

[ifbymyhands]

Then it probably is locked. My sympathies. From what I see, worlds only get locked when they're dangerous enough that the person would want to escape, or their friends would want to save them, and either the community or the world itself doesn't want to change fate by letting that happen.

Thank you.

[ifbymyhands]

Sorry.

There are a bunch of different kinds! Mine's a door sort of thing that I got the blueprints for from this green-haired genius kid. I've seen much smaller ones, though.

[pickeduptheknife]

They can be built?

[handwritten]

[tenminutes]

Mhm, if you know how to. This kid was like a genius though, then I just replicated it using a technique only available in my world.

[pickeduptheknife]

What materials are needed?

[tenminutes]

I don't know, a bunch of different parts. I don't have the blueprints anymore, I gave them back.

My method is using a feather given to me by another member of the community. Typically if one way does not work the others will not.

[pickeduptheknife]

That's what I'm hearing.

[timey_wimey]

If the world-hop isn't working, it's usually a problem with the world, not the device being used. Least, that's how it's always been in my experience.

[handwritten]

[pickeduptheknife]

I see.

Thank you.

[timey_wimey]

Anytime.

Why'd you ask? Having a spot of bother with it?

[pickeduptheknife]

It doesn't work with my world.

[masked_god]

There are several kinds of worldhopping I've encountered, though most have the same end result. Its rare that one kind of worldhopping will work while others will not.

[pickeduptheknife]

It seems strange, but that is what others are telling me.

[masked_god]

I'm sorry I could not help you further. May I ask the reason behind your question?

[pickeduptheknife]

It doesn't work with my world.
