If there is someone online when you log out, the character is saved where you logged out, but is not in game. This doesn't mean you shouldn't find a "safer" place to log out, I used to like to crash in the Dragon's lap on 5, if I remember correctly, the first Red anyway. It's cool if you're in a party, and they can manage until you get back, but if you're there alone, and somebody is elsewhere, it can be kinda rough.

When you die, you are stuck where you're at. I don't remember if logging out will take you back to the start location or not. I used to have an OnDeath event on my server that took you to a safe place, and provided a return portal so you could go back to the last place you died, but I haven't reinstalled that module yet, and I'm not sure I could write a script to close a door right now.
