Hey,
Since an hour or so ago, when I re-login to the game, it will not put me at the location I was when I logged out but at a gate to the map I was in.
So I can be in Metrica province, in the middle of the map, and when I re-log my character appears at the gate I used when I first entered Metrica province.
Same happens in Brisban Forest, relogging there it will always put me at a gate (between maps), even if I was in the middle of the map when I logged out.
Cheers,
