I know there is a different post on ownedcore about how to do this, but there are a few key differences between that and what just happened to me.
In that method, they use a macro to relog, when they relog, they cant move, and there is a 1 minute timer that ports them to Orgrimmar/ Stormwind.
here what happened to me
1.) Got Quest to choose faction
2.) Chose Horde as my faction
3.) cinematic of leaving the island plays ( on the hot airballoon )
4.) At the end of the cinematic, my screen went black, and the game never loaded the next screen, i never got teleported to Durotar. The game basically froze.
5.) Alt+command+ESC to force quit the WoW application since it was unresponsive. Or Ctrl+alt+del on PC.
6.) Logged back in, Quest is marked as COMPLETE and I am officially a horde Pandaren but still on the wandering Isle.
I had NO timer of 1 minute that would port me back to org/SW. In fact, im stuck there. I can stay as long as i want and not get ported back.
I can still talk to master Sheng Xi and choose my faction again, yet nothing happens when i click the button.
I had a Warlock in orgrimmar try to summon me to org. I click "accept" on the summon and nothing happens. I cannot be summoned out of the island.
I have my hearth set on the isle and i can hearth to the inn on the isle. I was going to see if i could get summoned out and then hearth back on to the isle but cant since the summon wont work.
I can Que for BG's, but i cannot enter them once i hit accept.
Pictures for proof. Notice the Horde symbol on my character portrait.
I thought this was interesting. Could lead to something. Delete this post if useless.
EDIT: After Relogging once more, i was finally teleported back to org within a minute. But at first, after the intial crash, I could stay there for as long as I wanted. I was unsuccessful in hearthing back to the island as well.
