Are there soulbinders on this server? I have run in FP and Rivervale now only to find that there is no soulbinder. In the case of Rivervale, this kind of sucks as I am the only one normally in the city. Is there a problem with the soulbinders or is this normal?

No soulbinders (not classic) and you always find people in any city from time to time, even in rivervale. Everytime i run trough rivervale i see seome people there.

soulbinders were not classic, you'll need to find someone to bind you, your playing at off hours, misty is generally pretty busy in the peak hours.

I thought they were around by Velious. Guess not.

Kunark was released March 25th on this server, Velious will be a while man. ;)

They weren't in velious, either.

This is very easy to look up for yourself:

Soulbinders:
A new group has appeared in Norrath (and on Luclin as well). Rumor has it that these 'Soulbinders' have dedicated themselves to research on the power and essence of our inner being. Some call them fanatics, as they claim that knowledge of the spirit that dwells within will lead them to an understanding of the whole of existence. Citizens often treat them with the same respect and distance that they treat the Priests of Discord. However, these Soulbinders have dedicated themselves to public service, and for them that service falls along their lines of specialty...

The next time you find yourself far away from home, you might seek the services of a Soulbinder.

/ooc: We've added these "Soulbinder" NPCs to all cities that player characters can start in, as well as Shadowhaven and Iceclad at the request of players. It is our hope that these new NPCs will help players by reducing the time it takes to find a bind from another player character.

Short version: Luclin

The funny thing is, it never took "long" to find a bind from another player. Even on this server it doesn't take long. A friend of mine started playing yesterday and started an Erudite. When he asked me "hey, where the heck is everybody" I told him to get on the boat to Qeynos.

Once he got there, I warned him to get bound to the area there. He said there was no one above level 6 in the zone. I told him to ask anyway. He didn't understand why, but all it took was one message in OOC and a level 4 sent him a tell informing him that he has his main in the area and would gladly log him on to give him a bind.

Long story short, soulbinders never really had any purpose, except to dumb the game down for people that didn't want to be social.

soulbinders was the smartest thing SOE ever added to the game.
I was so sick of casters getting it easy and being able to bind/gate almost anywhere, while I have to cry in /ooc for 45 min to get a freaken bind, so I can actualy go and play.
