Warning Message Before Sailing Over Edge

Sooo, I just lost everything today (sigh). I was sailing near the edge of the world some inviso-current suddenly took hold and pulled me and my boat over the edge, ignoring wind physics. Since it appears death is unavoidable at some invisible boundary near the edge of the world, can we get some kind of warning message like, "You drift too close to oblivion" or "Sailing further would anger Odin"... i don't know, *anything* before your stuff ends up in an impossible to retrieve situation.

I predict much wailing when Ashlands comes out with all those new people wandering close to the edge.

I agree, last I looked the strong currents aren't obvious, and with the way water works in valheim it seems you should be able to sail right up to the edge and turn around if you wanted.

It's kinda that you expect to be able to do _something_ to maneuver the boat away from the edge (and going close because you're curious and want to see what it looks like below is not that weird).

There's always debugmode...

I agree there should be some kind of tip, maybe the crow could appear near you warning you or something.
I also lost everything.

You are clearly not one of those flat earth people, otherwise you would have known this hands down.

The sound of water rushing could be little louder, from what I remember of it.
