The Lobby and Starting Points

There are many starting points offered in the module's lobby. After each reset, your character will begin in the lobby, and may choose from the available starting points. We do this rather than make you start where you left off because if your character is in a dangerous location when the server crashes or resets, your character would likely be killed after being ported back there automatically. It is better to choose to return to a nearby safe location, rather than be forced to return to a death-trap.

After a reset, you may also meet with friends in the lobby's OOC area to discuss play (or anything else) before going back in game.

The lobby also contains a great deal of information regarding the server.

Lobby Portals

All named portals allow access to safe starting points. New characters must start in Dragon Dale, and once your character reaches third level, he may start in River Vesper Landing from the lobby. The other main portals require your character to possess a special Lobby Portal Token before the portal will function. Portal tokens must be obtained from a DM, or through scripted quests in game.

Other Starting Points

The Alternative Travel Coordinator offers alternate starting points based upon your character's level. These are in generally safe zones, but do have the potential to be dangerous. Typically, your character will have to pass through dangrous areas to leave an alternate starting point. If you are unfamiliar with the location of an offered choice, you may wish to go there in game first, rather than risking being ported into the odd, rare dangerous situation.

If your character belongs to a guild or are "apprenticed" to an NPC, the Guild Registrar will offer additional starting points.

If your character owns a residence, then you may also choose to begin there.
