Spawn

Spawning is appearing on a map. This can be players or NPCs appearing at a specified point under a certain condition, e.g. when a point is reached that was set to spawn a group of enemies.


 * Spawn/spawn(ing) point:
 * The set points on the map that foes, NPCs, allies, etc. are scripted to appear.
 * A group of such creatures that appear at such a point; an alternate form of mob.


 * Less frequently, the term is applied to players -- only in the form spawn(ing) point:
 * The points at which players appear on a map after transit, which may not be adjacent to the portals they came through (sometimes referred to as zoning). Also, the starting point of a mission, the initial locations of players on a PvP map.
 * The points where dead players reappear in PvP matches; also: "respawn point".
