As most players know, Genasi are currently bugged. I am sorry if there's already a similar post out there, but I couldn't find one, at least.
The problem is that Genasi spawn in the Underdark, the Gloura Wings Inn by default. Also, they are unnable to get out of the Nexus by choosing the "return to my saved location" option. Nothing happens if one tries to pick it. This goes for the Fugue Plane as well. They are unnable to return to their corpses.
Strange as it was, during level 5-8, I could actually leave the Nexus/Fugue Plane myself by picking those options. Doesn't work anymore, however.
And before you ask, yes I do save with PC Tools and all that. Even though it says "saved location", it doesn't work.

I'm not sure about the Nexus or the Fugue Plane, But all ECL races except Aasimar spawn in the underdark. (not sure on teiflings)

Really? I see tons of genasi in the surface, tieflings and other trinkets.

It seems that some PCs, for whatever reason, just cannot return to saved location. I know I have one of them, but I can't remember which. He's definitely not a genasi, though.

Hate to be a pain, but this bug is getting quite annoying for both me and the DM's, as I've got to request a port each time I log in, which usually means that DM Chaotic has to log out as a player and get back in as a DM just to port me.
Kinda makes me feel like a nuisance as I keep asking for help, and I bet the DM's are busy enough with their DM role, so I am sure they appreciate the time they've got to play their chars without having people requesting help.
I've heard that this bug has been there for quite a long time, so please, just please try to fix this as soon as possible. Other than that, I appreciate what the Devs are doing, and this server is the coolest one around, no doubt. But it sucks to have to wait for a DM to log on in order to play, and you can probably understand that too.

Is it a bug? From what I recall of discussions this was the intention of the Admin.. perhaps I am mistaken.

From what I understand Genasi are suppose to be in the underdark. The Return to saved location is broken which is known. Aside from that IDK of anything else.
Are you saying when you log in and try to leave the nexus by clicking return to glorias wings that it wont port you?
And when you die you go to the Fugue Plane You are unable to return to Gloria Wing via the NPC there? Because its also a known bug (least use to be )That you could not return to corpse.

Genasi are not supposed to spawn in the Underdark anymore. I think the Dev's changed that once they realised how stupid that would be. And really, it makes no sense at all.
I can go to Gloura's Wings tavern, but not any of the other options like you said; corpse or saved location. My character is no Underdark dweller, so I have no reason to be there.

It was never thought of as a stupid decision. And actually it makes a lot of sense as a lot of portals to the plane of Air, Water, and Fire are opened up in the UD to provide air, water and heat per lore. We decided out of the goodness of our heart to let Gensai roam the surface. If you want to be on the surface so bad I suggest creating a surface race. Or wait until the server leaves Beta. A better attitude from you would also be appreciated. You didn't buy NWN2 from us.

Uhm little question here. Will the breach be introduced when the server leaves beta? Probably cause thats how your post sounded just making sure;). Is there allready an Idea where the breach will be(not sure if breach is the right word but its the only I know for this)?
Additional question, how long will the server be in beta approximately? If you ask me let it be in beta forever that way we get more and more content muhahahaha

A better attitude from you would also be appreciated. You didn't buy NWN2 from us. Alright. First off, you've got my apologies if I appeared rude or ungrateful in any way, because that was not my intention. I do appreciate everything you guys have done here, and the help I've got from the DM's to get to the surface, and so on. So thanks, thanks a lot. I don't, however, want to create a new character just to be on the surface. Sure, there might be lore reasons why you guys decided that genasi should spawn in the Underdark by default, but that doesn't mean all genasi live/come from another plane. Being a genasi means that one has got a djinni, or any other elemental creature in his/her ancestry. So if you felt like letting the genasi go to the surface out of good heart, why not let them choose whether they want to go to the Underdark or the surface, by simply adding another option for them in the Nexus/Fugue Plane? That way, everyone would be happy, no? As far as I've seen, all of the genasi characters out there actually live on the surface. Not that I would know if there's any genasi in the Underdark anyway, since I haven't been there to check it out xD

I've patched Mystra so that genasi now have a choice between the surface and the underdark.
Keep in mind that genasi aren't to use this as free passage to and from the surface.
A genasi should pick a location and always go back to that location. The DM's keep track of where a genasi plays and if this is abused, we'll have to go back to DM teleports or come up with something else such as changing the rules so that evil genasi go to the UD, while good genasi go to the surface.
Edit: The script may still be acting up for some. I'll look into it this afternoon.

Can a Genasi roleplay the passage from the Underdark to the Surface as an escape from the surface and vice visa? It would be a one way trip until a bridge is established.
