Hurrah! I may have to come up with some neat tricks in game.

I'm assuming those cryo-pods are where human avatars go when they log out?

Unless they want to have their character age and be at greater risk for getting PKed, yes.  They can log out in the wild, but it will leave an unconscious avatar on the ground which can be stolen from and killed.

Edit: I made the first IC post sense I had a bit of time.  Have fun.
