Yea the main idea was to show admins how to get to bug places, so they could do something for them. We need to fix a date with admins that they can get more familiar with these bugs.

Im not sure where to put this, because we have found many bugs and also some nice places in several maps. Many of you fellow-players have been asking about what the hell are we doing, while we were jumping around in different maps - not shooting each other at all. Some of you have understood us and joined our explore Some takes this game too seriously.. All of this has been done in willing to improve the game and bringing minor bugs in public.

It all started in hospital, where most of you already know that for example you can jump from ww roof on pole. Is it a bug, I think its not. You could do it in real life too if you really would like to try, I wouldn't.  There are many places in Hospital where you can go, some of them are nice spots, some are bugs, but those bugs are not minors. We got a bit excited and curious about them and started to explore another maps too. Not for killing people from bug place, just for finding new places. And of course bringing bugs into public so everyone can be aware of them. Remember - there is a difference between feature and bug.

The most overpower bugs that we found are in Stronghold and Impact, where you can go under the map and kill people from there. In stronghold we have found four spots where you can go outside the map. These are serious bugs, but there are some nice places too. For example you can get over roofs. In Impact we have found two ways to get to roof. Being on roof is not bugging, it is something that you could actually do.

We are not going to show in public how to get on any of these places, but we are more than willing to show them to admins and developers of the game. Instead of tips, we can give screenshots in public that will prove those places to exist. 

Because of the minor bugs in AA3 maps, this entry is in this thread, but there are bugs in older maps too, like in River Village, Woodland Outpost and Courtyard, where you can go over the hills and nobody expects you to be there.

We will post the screenshots later today.

But then again, there is a slight risk on it. Im sure that admins want to handle all data on one server. For example, database gets corrupted somehow - or server is down, the information will not be sent thru interface, or someone hacks in to the database and starts messing around there..

Im not saying that your database is not good enough, Im just saying that outsourced data handling isn't the best idea And of course all this can happen in aao.com server, but in error situations admins can solve problems straight away.

Im sure that risks are way lower than benefits of this. Just wanted to bring up thoughts that raised up in my head.

Thanks ELiZ, thats very helpful! Im biding it immediately and throw that windows-keyboard away.
