Decided to port to Ironforge from CoT on my mage to avoid being dumped in the ocean by the Stormwind portal and still got dumped in the oceans outside of Badlands… 
.
Had no problem teleporting to Ironforge from Stormwind, then Ironforge to Darnarsuss and finally from Darnarsuss to Teramore. So I guess the issue is with any porting from CoT 
It happened to me once too.
Ahahahaha thank you for this! Bookmarked the comment.
I was on an alt and taking the portal to stormwind from the anniversary zone, and it loaded me into the ocean out of bounds where he was getting fatigued. My game was a bit slower than usual into loading, and my new character almost died from the fatigue.
You are about number #135 (making up that number 
) reporting this issue.
Blizzard Quality Control at its finest.
Yup, this happens to everybody using the portal 100% of the time. Not sure why some people die in the ocean though, use dragon flying and get to the shore ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Set up a portal for us lost porters after it dropped me in the sea, and that portal sent me to Tirisfal Glades. Wild stuff.
Yup, second time it’s happened this week, both times when hearthing to my garrison, had to use unstuck service to get back to land.
This happened to me today too. I also just used teleport from southern Tanaris and ended up in Redridge.
Also - not just from the event area. I ended up dead in Tirisfal after using teleport in the Badlands, released to Westfall ec.
Has happened to me a few times trying to use SW portals. The EK loading screen pops up and the loading bar gets to about 90% before freezing and then it’ll wait a minute before dropping you in the Frobidden Sea just east of the bad lands.
Not sure what’s happening, but have to dragon ride to get out of fatigue and fly the rest of the way to SW.
Still broken.
This happened to me using the SW portal at Caverns of Time and also using my personal mage portal to IF an hour ago.
I’ll admit, it is hilarious, like a joke portal, and I laughed watching other people falling from the sky. But I can easily see how frustrating it could be, especially for non mages, or if you went afk during the port and came back dead in the ocean and then paid 600 gold with rez sickness.
My mage teleport to stormwind has:
WHAT IS GOING ON???
I only started having this issue last night & I hope it will have fixed itself by the time I log back in (or maybe it’s just THAT character, who knows?) on my druid. You’re actually not that far off shore though, so if you mount up, you should be safe to fly to land, especially if you’re using Skyflight (my druid currently is not, for reasons, but she was able to make it just fine).
At least we do not insta-die though - apparently the Orgrimmar portal takes players to the BLIGHTED version of UC - one Redditor stated, “The pile of bones from others doing the same thing is breathtaking.” A few Redditors did say they went to the normal version though - the thought is, you go to the normal version if you’ve done the pre-Shadowlands event and Blighted if not. I uh, won’t be testing it to find out LOL!
Oh that is not good - my mage portals worked perfectly for me on 2 different mages Sunday…
I’m pretty sure you can run either to Swamp of Sorrows or Blasted Lands, then hit the ocean from either of the beaches. Stick close to shore until you’re directly across from your body before heading out though, believe it or not you CAN die again from fatigue as a ghost (or at least you could 20 years ago).
Ok. They are TOTALLY trolling us!!! Back in the day, GYs broke and no matter where you died (at least as Alliance), you ended up in Westfall. Friend & I took a boat from Darkshore to Menethil, apparently FELL OFF the boat halfway across the map (the dots stopped halfway & we both got a brief screen of nothing but water) and ended up in the Sentinel Hill GY. Low level characters so we had little gold (if any) to begin with and of course we had to rez at the GY. (And yes, we DID actually try running to Menethil to hop on a boat as ghosts - didn’t work lol.)
Hey Blizz!!! We don’t fondly remember EVERYTHING that happened during the past 20 years!!! 
trick or treat…
more than likely tied to the trick part of trick or treat…
Oh good, it’s not just me. I tested on both factions, and it’s definitely just Alliance characters affected. I also tested my mage portal, and found clicking my own portal took me to Stormwind (as expected), rather than anywhere else. This is vaguely amusing, but the joke’s wearing thin.
Patch notes says fixed, but is not. Twice now, husband and myself have both gotten dropped in fatigue zone near Swamp of Sorrows when taking Stormwind portal from CoT event area.
This is what happens when you fire your entire quality assurance team and fold the responsibility into every other department that doesn’t know how to communicate with each other. I mean I assume this is the case because bugs aren’t getting fixed.
its happened to me about a dozen times now
very annoying!
