Oh speaking of gates/gating, since ya may not know, there is a red moongate in downtown Brit near the King's palace. If ya run thru it you end up in Serpent's Hold downtown. There IS one in the armory warriors' building (often used as big counsellor hall on many Serp. Hold isles), far northwest of town, to get ya back to Brit.
I did not see that when I first came here, accidently ran INTO that moongate in downtown Brit, and landed in downtown Serp. Hold. But I could not find any moongate OFF or so I thought...so I paged a gm they told me I was not stuck there.
The GM offered me no explanations, I kept looking for some public moongate OFF Serp. Hold but apparently ignored that one public building thus never seen the gate back. Since a GM told me I was not stranded nor stuck there, I assumed he meant ........the long hard way off, thru fire dungeon to the lost lands to papua to finally get back to Moonglow etc. So I took that route !! OoOO was new here. Found out a week or so later DOH there is a gate off serp hold as well as the one TO it.
So if ya accidently race thru downtown Brit and into that red gate there, like I did, finding yourself in down town serp hold... there is a gate OFF Serp. Hold.
