The main entrance to the Mesh is the @root node. Although many power users respawn in their home bases, root stays the most visited place in the mesh. There are so many avatars showing up there at the same time, that the node is hosted 16 times. The likelihood that you meet another avatar in root for an appointment is not so high, you could land on any of the sixteen nodes. However, if you step outside into the next node, everything turns normal again.

That’s why power users avoid root.

But still most of the services and big players are located in the gigantic sky scrapers and high rises in root or on one of the neighbouring nodes. Most of the entertainment centers, streaming stations and gambling halls are located there with their biggest flagship stores. And the gigantic welcome & onboarding hall is probably the single most iconic piece of virtual architecture and should be visited at least once.
