About 250 meters, as the crow flies. My wife, as well. It is no longer a hospital, though.

I was dismayed to find that the hospital I was born in has been torn down and replaced with a newer one. I'm only 44!
5284km this place feels like home because this is where I've slept for the last 4 years.
About 8,100 miles, as the crow flies.
I'm about 8036.68 miles , 12933.78 kilometers from where I was born and where I am isn't my home but now it's been so long since I've gone back that I'm not sure it will feel like home if I go back either
Spawn point LOL
About 1-1.5 hours
After trying out another country (Switzerland) and other cities in Germany (Berlin and Kiel) im back in Hamburg where I spawned. Yea other places are nice as well but no matter where I went I liked it here more. But we are known for thinking our town is the most beautiful place on earth.
I live around 40 miles from where I was born.
My home is where I am and who I'm with now. My spawn point is somewhere I managed to survive long enough to stage my successful escape.
~18 hours away. Yes, where I'm at currently is definitely home.
I was born in France, now I live in Japan. France is not home anymore.
13,300 km (8,264 mi) away from "spawn point", ~14,000 km from "home".
I don't feel like ~~doing the math~~ googling it, but I was born Brooklyn, NY, USA. Currently a few miles outside Atlanta, GA, but my journey here takes me up and down the east coast, plus a place further south. I can't really think of NY as home because I've only lived there maybe 1.5 years at most, and 1 of those was as an infant.
At 1 my family moved to GA, at 2 they moved to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (fathers home country), where my first memories are from. At 7 my mom left said father over his repeated cheating, so we moved back to Brooklyn for ~6 months (maybe less) then moved to Virginia until I hit 17 when I graduated highschool. Moved to Florida, lived there for years until 2017 and I moved to GA for a job.
I'm not sure I consider anywhere other than where I am now "home." I have fond memories of each place, but they just feel like phases of my past life, like elementary(well, 4 different elementary), middle, or highschool. I don't consider any of those schools any more of a school I went to than the others, and I generally treat "home" the same. It's just where I live now.
I also don't fully identify with any ethnic group either. I spoke without an accent in the island so never fully integrated, and then in the US I didn't quite have the same lived experience there either.
12005km from my place of birth where I still have family. But home is where I live
Less than 200 miles. But I grew up about 400 miles farther. And no.
Thousands of miles and no.
roughly 2200 miles, and no
Farthest away I have ever lived from where I was born? About 5500 miles. Again, neither were home. Don't know if I have a place that is really a home no matter where I am, because I have moved around a lot in my life.
38 miles away, but it should be noted that since being spawned, I've moved upwards of 3k miles from that point and then returned to my current location many years later.
About 5,743 miles (9,227 km) from my spawn point, and no, it's not home, although I wish it were now that the US has decided to be fascist. I was born in an American army hospital in Stuttgart, Germany.
I'm almost at the antipode of my spawn point but I moved here late enough in life that, while the rest of my household call here home, I still think of my birthplace as home. Some days it's hard.
375 miles away from spawn point, but my tutorial zone (where I actually grew up) was 215 miles away from there and 215 miles away from my current home point.
I lived in the city of my birth for a bit for a job, fucking hated that city, it was never home. Lived off and on where I grew up, and now have lived in my current for about 10 years.
Where I grew up is a complicated feeling. I miss the Ozark mountains, the flatlands I live in now I don't like despite liking the city. But the area has changed so much and so rapidly it's like coming to the bones of an animal where nature has rapidly overtaken the body and saying that's the animal. It's... recognizable if you squint at it, but it's dead and gone and now something completely different.
I'm not sure if where I live now is "home" still. But if where I grew up was home, I can never go back there. I can live in that place, but the farming town is now a metro that is unrecognizable.
about a 58 hour walk right now but at timed I am >10,000 miles out
Just checked on the map. There's a stretch of about 11 miles that I consider to be home. I lived most of my life smack in the middle of that stretch .So about 5 and a half miles radius?
Feels like they langoliers in my mind
A few hundred miles. And no i dont belong in this world.
13,245 km from spawn point, but home is always where my wife and cats are
500km... About 4 hours. Was never home though.
6.5 km from my appartment to the hospital I was born in.
I was born in the neighboring city, currently live in the district that is closest to said city. However I grew up in a village 90km from here. My parents moved out of the city when I was 2. I lived in several different cities, even on a different continent for a while. A couple of years ago I moved here for a job and 5 years ago my now-husband and I found this appartment together which happens to be on the border of our city that is closest to the city I was born in.
I live 2.2 miles/3,5 km from my childhood home but have lived as far away as 4,383 miles/7.053 km away. Yes, I would consider my hometown as my current home.
My house is about 2 miles away from the hospital where I was born but only a couple of meters from the spot where the house my parents lived in when I was born used to stand, which means there's a good chance I can see the spot where I was conceived from my upstairs window.
I am less than a mile from the hospital I was born in. Like some middle ages peasant.
The city grew up with me, or I grew up with it; when I was young there was not much to do and it was quite violent. Through my life it has become vibrant and safer, not that I had anything to do with it. Now there is so much to do, beautiful parks, concerts, downtown came back to life.
I have visited other places, for months at a time before I had kids, and shorter trips after. But here actually is home, it's funny. I wouldn't have dreamed it when I was a little kid.
I have been about 4500 miles away for most of my life, but I was home sick so I moved closer and I am now only 1500 miles away from spawn.
So many location based questions here lately. Little sus ngl
Current, about 300 meters. I live in an apartment a block over from the hospital I was born at.
Damn, got me beat. I'm a little over 2 miles away.
I think we're the two closest, though!
You can reset your spawn point by sleeping in a bed.
~2500 miles. I have no attachments to Ohio, little fond memory, and will likely never visit again. It’s been over 35 years and I intend to make it another additional 35+
No offense to my Ohio peeps, but Oregon feels a wee more comfortable. …when it’s not on fire
Man, I meet so many people who have left Ohio. People love leaving Ohio. In fact, an abnormally high proportion of astronauts are from Ohio. People wanna leave Ohio so bad, they leave earth.
I’ve met so many fellow members of the Ohio diaspora that we came up with a saying: Ohio is a great place to be from. Far from.
About 120 miles, which in the UK is like a weekend trip at least
14,411 kilometres apparently. It certainly feels like it the few times I’ve flown back. New Zealand feels like walking around your old high school now, it’s nostalgic but also a little eerie.
Is my spawn point the bathtub I was born in or the alley behind the bowling alley that I was conceived in?
Bathtub.
Depending on your philosophical/political view. 👀
I am thousands of miles away from my home. I have been back a few times over the decades and every time I feel more peace, because I am home. I don't feel at home where I live, it still feels foreign to me because the environment is so different than the land my heart calls home.
The heartbreaking part is that it has deteriorated in some parts so that my heart hurts seeing it. The part that I am from remains what I remember, but going to the major city causes distress at the state of things.
I work 20ish miles from the hospital I was born in. I live probably 5 minutes from it driving. I have probably lived half my life here. I call it home but I live in a world that my younger self would never recognize. I was ultra poor growing up and now I mingle with the town elite and have one of the historic houses that is iconic for lots of people here.
I lived 20+ years 300 miles away from my hometown and thought I would never live here again. But life is funny like that.
About 15 metres. I was a home birth and am currently staying with my parents.
