(***): Unwritten Rule #23857 of CF: If you are on Eastern, you are daring people to kill you.

Or, like me, you have no idea how to get from the Western part of the continent to the Eastern part without taking Eastern Road. Is it a conspiracy that you are taught as a newbie that this is the route to take to Hamsah and Arkham? It's like "here you go newbie, this is the way to Arkham. (but I'm not going to tell you that if you use this road on a regular basis you're painting a target on yourself)"

And don't think I haven't tried finding another route, I have. I've either gotten lost or run into a dead end or something every single time I've tried. But then I kind of suck at finding my way around anyway. Is it actually possible to get from say Balator to the Inn or Galadon without ever stepping foot on Eastern? And I'm talking about a lowbie, without magic, without preps, who has to walk it. I know I can't be the only one who finds this to be difficult, even if I am bad at directions.
