Default starting spot

i was faced with a similar dilemma. small population starting point.

i chose Rathe Mountains... its nice and remote, not alot of special mobs (hence no needing to relocate lots of special populations), a decent amount of merchants already present (only need to add some GMs for training and a few spell merchants), and retool the random spawns for appropriate level.

for a RvR type server, make 2 starting points that are fairly close but still remote, i'd recommend. if its "everyone for themself", you might want to designate some areas as "safe haven" and some zones as "fair game" similar to WoW. have people's flags turn on/off based on some criteria the moment they zone in to a particular zone.

i'm doing a pve server with pvp turned on so that players can be subject to friendly fire, which isnt pure pvp, so take these suggestions with a grain of salt.
