Ladder at top right corner of world map is sometimes unenterable

[brynnb]

I haven't been able to see what causes this after messing with it for about 20 minutes. There's a ladder in the very far top right corner of the world (in the lava area), that, at certain times, cannot be entered. It seems like the first time I load the client and connect to server, it always works fine. As soon as you exit it the first time, there's a chance that you will not be able to enter it again. The pathfinding will still show a white box on top of it, but when you click your character does not move to the location. The console doesn't seem to be showing any errors either.

Dying and reviving worked once for allowing me to enter it again. I tested the whole cycle again (reload client, enter cave, exit, become unable to enter again, die, revive, return to cave) and in this second instance I was still not able to enter the cave. It might be related to killing the spectre right outside the ladder. Reloading the client (F5) always seems to fix it.

Here's a picture of the location: http://i.imgur.com/A5DER.png

Only tested in latest Chrome (don't have time right now to level up another character in FF or to mess with the local storage to give myself gear)

This is another use case for having the data be server side: ease of development.

Wonder if something like NowJS would let us trigger/dump client side debugging info to the server side log file?

I thought I would take a stab at it, but I have not been able to reproduce it.
