Made an alt today to test something on my deed. As I left the starting tutorial and spawned on Deli, the character started on the slate bridge and got teleported under it, into the canal.
For me personally that's a non issue, I just invited the alt to deed and that was that. But out of curiosity I made another alt to see if the same thing happened. And as it was the new alt also ended up into the canal in Green Dog in deep water.
This concerns me because new potential players might just end up in the canal there and drown and rage quit wurm afterwards.
