@Cyclone, ah, sounds like the DNS problems. I've been following the Dev Journal and some people (not me) have been having a hard time connecting to RPG through the standard address. There's another url which doesn't have that problem, but by the sounds of it you've found a solution anyway. Good to see you back, by the way.

Speaking of scale, the scale of Cyprus is intentionally small. If you want to go somewhere, it's generally little more than a 1 or 2 day's walk/march, perhaps even less if you're closer. If you can get a faster method of transport, such as a boat or a horse, then you'd probably be able to cross the country within a day. So if you're a quarter of the map away from someone you're almost neighbours. So unless you're sedentary like the Flesh your starting location does not have to be too precise if you want to meet someone, at least until you settle down.
