Pro tip: Always bring an axe, a shovel and a pickaxe when you go to waypoints that you haven't visited earlier if there is no guarantee the waypoint is safe.

The mod team is likely aware of the issue that waypoints can be death traps due to some imperfections in the waypoint creation logic. This can lead to players (and their mounts) spawning in log, dirt, stone or quagmire. All ending in unpleasant experiences. If you experience this on a server, ask an admin to generate and clear a 3x3x3 space around every fixed waypoint before players get to them and have these nasty encounters of the first gone there.
