New character spawn point: P99 vs EQmac

[noffo]

Did new characters spawn in front of the PoD in the original trilogy or was it more like EQmac where it was some distance away from your guildmaster?

(I know later they plopped you right in front of the guildmaster, which I always hated. It was more fun looking for the guildmaster, plus it made sense based on the note in your inventory.)
