Open Positioning of Postal Keys

[TimeMachine]

To get one thing straight at first, this a very small bug. I just wanted to let @InnoGames know.

Expected situation: Due to physical laws, the "flying" Postal Key should normally fall into the abyss.

I think it has wings or something.

I think it has wings or something.

Yes! Or it maybe it levitates like a scarab bug.

Most people don't know that these bugs are not flying but levitating.
By levitating they are causing a small anti gravitational field around their small bodies.
Humans do decribe this is as technical procedure and as an art of magic as well.

Spoiler: Scarab takes "flight"

By the way, this seems to be a server-crossing phenomenon. Just spotted leviatating Sorcerer's Knowledge on beta.

And not to forget: The leviating film roll on live servers:

I saw it a few days ago and figured it was a really, really, small bug...or key in this case -- caught in an upward wind draft. You see, there's a very cold and fast flowing stream at the bottom of the canyon. It is hitting some rocks really hard, throwing up a column of air. The air rises and creates a vortex as it bends toward the bridge. Light objects like tiny film reals, and keys are often caught in the vortex and thus, appear to be "floating." It happens more often in winter because the air column is denser because the river below is at a higher volume and lower temperature. Thus, as you can see, like all "magical" things, there is a natural explanation. Though, to be honest, just because you can explain how something can occur via natural causes, doesn't mean it's the only possible explanation. In other words, it could be magic. ;>)
