Edge of the map...WTF???

[Play (DayZ) 123]

So I was heading north on my bicycle and then decided to see how far I could go....I spend like 25 minutes heading north on the "off map" area but there was still "ground" to cover....then I decided to log off and log onto the UK 25 (where it goes map location on) to see where I was...well, no need for that, for some weird reason I was in Elektro, double checked to see if I was on a private server but i wasnt... had all my gear with me. Thenk logged on back onto my usual server and guess what - Elektro again.

Has anyone experience something similar or can explain what's going on?

It's like that on purpose, if you load in on the debug plains the server will move you to the coast, otherwise you would be stuck if a hacker teleported you 500km off map. This was implemented in 1.7.2.4 back in July/August I believe.

thats normal, in older version sometime you spawned there off map. (debug forrest). they fixed this.

when you spawned in debug you had to restart and it would spawn you somewhere at the coast again.
