I first saw this on live server when I bought the Titanium Edition of EQ so that I would meet all the pre requirements of SOD. Basically each of your characters has a button by them with simple click they are returned to their orginal starting city. This has a reuse of 48 hours to prevent abuse of players using it to teleport back and fourth with gate spell from home city to bind spot. This also takes away the headache of having a character stuck in a zone that is down for whatever reason. The player can simply relocate them back to starting city so they are playable. This also alleviates any headaches for GM's with petitions requesting characters be moved from downed zones. Im not a programmer but I figure a command to reset player to orginal starting point should be failry simple and the timer shouldnt prove too difficult. Just food for thought to help both players and GM's alike. <3 :hug:

maybe
I think the reason its not possible is beacuse of the older client that SOD uses which is cool.
however it is within the game to allow players to have the #movechar command and only that, and it can be made that so only a person on that account can move a char on that account, example my war is stuck in a downed zone or a zone I didnt patch for or somthing, I make a level 1 char and #movechar him or if they wanted to SoD it up make it /cmd movechar charname . however Im not sure if it could be given a reuse timer, and if that timer would work for the account or just 1 char, so it might not be vesible(sp) anywyas
also I dont know if its really nessesary
