I can't find anything detailing what is meant by "Drowned" under the issues "Complaint's Report" Report, and I can't seem to figure out what causes players to drown. Yet this seems to be a fairly popular complaint. What affects drownings? Thanks
Drowned?

The blue regions around the outside of the map (and sometimes extending into the map) are water; subscribers slowly lose health while they're in a water region. If they lose their final point of health due to being in a water region, then that death is classified as "drowning".
Subscribers don't really try to avoid water (they should, but they don't), so the best thing you can do is to keep from placing starting areas and towns and suchlike in a way that the most direct path from one to another would involve crossing a body of water.
1.1 will implement subscriber pathfinding, so this should become less of a critical issue in that version (in the same way that 1.1 has subscribers attempt to run away from monsters that are too difficult and ignore monsters that are too easy, which makes "Too hard" and "Too easy" complaints less frequent as well)
