107 Shell of a castle

The next day, Eldrian logged in right after coming back from class. Waking up inside the game world Eldrian reflected on how strange it still felt.

He felt it a bit jarring with how logging in and out worked. His character would simply appear in the place it had been, or a 1-meter radius from there if something was in his way.

If something blocked his entire spawn area he would then get a message to choose to wait or risk spawning inside the area still. Strangely this 1-meter radius counted laterally too, people could even spawn in the air. This spawn area had been added to help the players adventure more, while still being quite restrictive.

To log off a player needed to first fall asleep, as such his avatar was lying down next to one of the trees he had logged off under. This together with how the headset worked still gave Eldrian the feeling that he was waking and coming to reality.
