First, look here:

I saw this and thought "Gee, what if I killed him a couple times unwary of how hard it was hitting my faction. And lets just say that I die while in BB doing something else. I then rezone after death in Qeynos and the guards proceed to whack me over and over and over and over and over and over. I delevel to 1. And quit."

Any thoughts?

Though you bring up a good point. beware of the faction you are destroying in relation to your bind point. don't expect rezzes because you didn't bother to check what faction hits you were getting vs your bind point :/

I mentioned this in another thread about the qeynos rogue that started KOS to the guards and was chain killed at his bind but...

Is it "classic" that the bind point is right there under the main gate? On Al'kabor the bind point is out in the noobie yard away from the gate (posted the loc in that other thread).

The second point is.. many "noobie" type quests in Qeynos (and im sure there are similar quests in other cities) give negative faction to one band of guards or the other. I have not tested how easy it is for some of the evils to turn KOS to the guards yet by doing those quests but...

But if those are the true classic default bind points, so be it.

I know the one in Freeport is off, it wasn't on top of the gates like it is now. A bit more towards the empty tents, Northwest-ish of the gate.

One of the first things I noticed as "off", but didn't really know what the forums were or how to report such things.

This is something to worry about for sure. Nice post OP.

On a related point, I swear I remember my bindpoint being near the Miller's campfire in Qeynos Hills. when I made my ranger in March 1999. But the memory is very fuzzy. It's not dependable.

If we could change the server from its current state to anything we want and the mission was to fix this problem (i'm sure it has happened before): what would the fix be?

Just made a human ranger of Karana on Al'kabor and attacked the first NPC I saw and ended up....

4850, -46, 0.82

which is ..near the Miller's Campfire in Qeynos Hills. So I think your memory is correct.

On p99 EVERYONE no matter if you are a SK of bertox or a Druid from Surefall, is respawning at the front gate of Qeynos , arent they?

ON LIVE:
with exception of druids and ranger, all classes/races that start in Qeynos respawn outside of city gates, but well outside of guards agro range. if you facing the gates from outside- that spot is little bit to the left next to a tree, about 200 clicks from the gates itself

rangers and druids start bound near SFG
