I have a baby toon’s hearthstone set to Boralus, as I do a few of my lowbies. Recently, when taking the boat from Boralus to Stormwind (have not had an issue the other way around), the loadscreen comes up as normal, but when I do load in I am standing at the entrance to Alterac Valley. This wouldn’t be a big deal, except for the fact that this character is Alliance, thus there are no nearby flightpaths to hop onto to correct my location quickly. I wait for my hearth to come off cooldown and try again. This doesn’t look like an intentional design choice lol.

This has happened to me as well. Just hopped on the boat back to Stormwind from Boralus and ended up in AV too.

Happened to me now as well: Me and a level 98 Dark Iron dwarf were so confused… I was on my level 58 Void Elf Hunter at the time.
I’ve joined the club. Was on a lovely cruise From Boralus to where I assumed would be Stormwind, when I ended up in the Alterac Valley cave. Very odd.
Update: the lowbie I’ve been working on is now 115; just took the boat from Boralus to Stormwind and she again was transported to the entrance to Alterac Valley. I thought it was a character’s level maybe messing up the load, but I guess not lol.
Also have an issue with the load screen; the last few times when taking this boat, my screen hangs on the loading map and I have to crash the game and re-load it.
Again, it’s annoying as an Alliance cuz it’s not like there’s a flight master sitting right there in Hillsbrad Foothills, or even a portal to Stormwind. Guess I’ll hearth and try again lol.
This just happened to me.
Just happened to me too!
This is a special case of “transfer aborted, instance not found” for the Stormwind area world server resource. The location you get dumped is the 0,0 coordinate of the Eastern Kingdoms continent coordinate system.
These things are usually temporary and resolve themselves as the servers reallocate resources.
Yes this just happened to me.
Same happens to my alt every time I travel back to stormwind from the very first time I traveled from boralus to stormwind
this happened to me too >:(
it was even more confusing considering i got on the boat at stormwind to go to boralus, had to go afk, and came back to find myself in a cave instead of continuing to make the boat loop
This has been happening to me for a month. I’ve submitted several BUG reports so far and it still happens. I remember a similar thing happening while crossing from Theramore to Menethil Harbor. Instead of leaving me at 3rd random place, the whole game just freezes and I relog, and I wake up dead back in Theramore Graveyard. WTF?

I never take this boat anymore because this happens to me a lot.

This happens to my paladin EVERY time. I no longer take the boat because of this. It’s so frustrating. =\

Midway through December and this is still obviously an issue and one that don’t seem to have a keen interest on fixing it. 
This once happened to me in Legion on my horde main when I was on the zeppelin going from Orgrimmar to Undercity. And I loaded into the ALLIANCE Alterac Valley PVP starting tunnel…literally had to take rez sickness because it was impossible to get back to my body after the NPCs one shot me.

12/24 and still not fixed. I have a ticket open now to find out what’s going on. A temporary solution was downgrading the graphics and going fullscreen (not windowed). It worked once, then it went back to the glitch.
