A road sign is a stationary object that helps players navigate a zone. All portals have a road sign marking where the portal leads to. Oftentimes a point of interest within a zone (such as a small village or settlement) is also marked by a road sign. Other road signs might be directional pointers, informing the player which path to follow to reach a certain location. Some towns also employ road signs to mark sections of the town where NPCs offering similar services gather.
