Once a GM removed my character's PK status there as well, using a massive spell that had enough particles to cause lag issues. They might've only included the spell for flavor and used a command, idk, but that the place to be on Tunare. And iirc even the naked sit-in protests were held there.

If only there had been two bind locations, the birthplace starting city of the character (changed by extensive factioning/questing) and the normal bind spot resulting from a spell or locket. Halas would probably be the best choice in the case of the former, for those not wanting to rely on potions/ports to get to Vox.
They did eventually implement secondary binds in a couple of ways.

One implementation was the "Return Home" (and later origin?) button, where you could smash it at the start of a play session to log in to your character at it's original spawn location instead of whether you left it logged off for the night. Not classic, but it would be nice to be implemented just to reduce 'stuck character' petitions. All you had to do is be logged out for like (2? 6?) hours and next time you log in you'd have the option to return the toon home.
