West Zone 3
Why is west zone 3 a spawn option? It spawns you in an icy area that is literally impossible to survive. By time you are done with the 'waking up' animation from spawning, you are already half dead from the freezing cold. About 10 seconds later, you are dead. Nothing can prevent this. Game over.

Yup, that about sums it up.
Oh, was there a question in there somewhere?
Try south spawn points.

I know where I can spawn to start actually playing. The question still stands why it's an option.

For those that enjoy a challenge?

Now that you know, you never need spawn there again.

But if you happen to die in that area, and you've got nice gear, maybe even a tamed animal out there in the frozen, you might be happy that spawn is there. (and you don't have any personal spawns nearby)

Once your fortitude is up, you could survive long enough to spawn, run towhere you died, and grab your stuff which would most likely have food, water and warm cloths on your dead body. And hey, if you don't make it there, at least you tried and didn't lose anything from the respawn.

Beyond being too cold to actually survive. My last 2 spawns spawned me in front of (Was immediately attacked by them) one of those giant crocodiles, and then 2 scorpions. Lol.

May as well make spawning a mile in the air an option because it's 100% chance of death.

- Challenge (10 seconds is an exaggeration)
- Might have hut/base nearby
- Might have friends nearby

Did something change with West Zone 3? That was the spawn point to my currently successful character. I honestly don't remember it being freezing cold there. I still have an established base near there and it is certainly not freezing. Granted you can head north and in a very short time will be freezing,...

Before snow Biome? Most time it brings you south of the water fall sometimes it puts you right in the snow tundra area.

Maybe I just got lucky. Of course, I died quite a bit at a lot of other spawn points before it finally "took". I'm not sure when the snow Biome was established...
