I agree, there should be Spawn points in every area or @ least most areas.
I think there should be a \"Shrine to the death god\" in every area in which would act sort of like a spawn point only that every time you die, after exiting the DR you spawn @ the last shrine you visited, not just the one nearest to you when you died. You will always be able to tell were a shrine is because they all look the same.
I was also thinking the DR could be a sort of \"Parallel universe\" were there are many exits each to a different spawn point. when you die in a certain area you spawn in the DR in a different place, then you can ether find your way out the easy way, or journey your way out to another exit spawning you in another area then you were before. the DR could be a form of transportation this way, (only harder than normal.)
But I like the shrine idea better.
We do not have to call them \"Shrines to the death god\" ether, they could be called \"Undeath Portals\" or \"Gates of Re-life\" or something....
