I feel like this is one of those bugs that happens to some ppl and not others or it's picky as to when it wants to be a bug....I hit change floors by mistake and just got a black screen. I had to force quit by just hitting the 'X' on the ashita dos-esqe screen (I have no idea what to call that screen)...before logging back in I did the 'unstuck' option from the maintenance tab from my forum account and all was well.

Yes to clarify, it seems I was able to address by following previous advice posted on the forums: going to account maintenance, forcing my user to log out using the clear session function and then using the unstuck feature. I was able to log in and my character had been relocated back to Bastok Markets.

I am just confused about the advice given about warping, zoning, etc when I never made it into a zone to try this.
