Not being a **** or anything. But since when did we start encouraging safe instant travel everywhere? I thought it was pretty much sacrifice magery points or run/ride to moongates. For a shard that is supposed to be risk vs reward, you guys seem to be going out of your way to avoid the risk.
I believe it is a good thing, that warriors can traveling without magery. Easier traveling do help us get more player and that is good for the shard.
The reason we did not get recall, was not to stop traveling, but to stop players to recall out, when they saw a red. We could easy allow recall on Siege, just give it a delay of 10 sec, where you can be interrupted if you take damage.
As vendor owner, I love Public teleporters, crystal portals and yes the gating to boats as it allow people to get to my vendors and home again. Vendor Search is an other new thing that help me a lot. Being able to have my vendors at my main house is much better than have a shop in New Mag and then go check what need to be restocked, make list, go home to main house, to do the crafting, then back to shop to restock.
Some are using teles to get to my shop, but I do see players running from somewhere else to get to my shop too.
Before we got house teleporters and crystal portals, Safe Haven was far away from everything and sure not a place for a shop, all was going on around moongates, Luna, Zento and New Mag. Now Safe Haven again are a place to live and run a shop and our Hub do help easy traveling to and from Safe Haven.
I still try to ride everywhere. But I appreciate that is a personal preference.
I do miss the days of not knowing who or what was going to jump out at you on the roads - there used to be guilds of highwaymen, brigands, etc, lying in wait at lots of the major intersections.
Nowadays, they might get the occasional person doing a trade deal, or me. I wouldn't want to ask a whole guild of people to sit there waiting for hours, just in case a potential victim ran past!
So yes, we've lost something. But we may have gained as well. We lost several player-run towns because travelling to them wasn't easy. Now, every town can have its own hub, which does help.
I still miss being told to stand and deliver, though.

Oh, that can be arranged
I believe that have to do the changes to monsters in the forests. I remember a lot more mobs in the woods, brigands, orcs, gazers, lizardmen etc. I believe the lumbers was crying and devs choose to remove most mobs.
I would like to see new spawn, like the Yew Liches and then give us 2x ressource spawn and better wood and ore colors near the spawn. The good old monsters need a little more power and better loot.
Also bring back the old Gypsy spawn and their locked and trapped chests and increase the loot in the chests a little to let lockpickers traveling the road to find them.
People need a reason for traveling
I know that now, whenever I need to get anywhere, I'm going to run to the nearest moongate, step out at zento, run to the west coast along the water, find Tanivars house, and then use his teleporter to go somewhere else, so convenient.

I take it you don't live by or travel to Zento much?
I remember when a young mage could make money sitting by a bank with a full city runebook opening gates for people lol

I remember the days before teletiles and crystal portals. I remember the days before imbuing, so that even tho i did have magery I was often reduced to using regs, arcane, or saving my resources and just walking. I do think a little somethin has been lost with the modern conveniences.
I would think, tho, that not having to waste much time covering ALL of open land looking for potential prey would be a good thing. You could just make your rounds of the dungeons and popular hunting grounds. Easier also for a victim to regear and return to the fight, which can be good or bad from the PK's POV. Killing some one and stripping them down to their skivvies is probably less satisfying to an outlaw if they know their victim doesn't have to spend the next 10 minutes trudging back to civilization in their birthday suit. That is the only down side that I can see.
Folks coming together to share teletiles across the land, debates over how the home owner should police the service they offer, outlaws camping popular hubs and portals - these are all things we gained, imo.

Something to be said for birthday suits ...,,,have to spend the next 10 minutes trudging back to civilization in their birthday suit. That is the only down side that I can see.

Kenzie died at that last Governor's meeting, I had to use the EM gate up by the SH bank to get to the EM hall, from the EM hall to the war room then run over to the island's healers, run back to the palace to retrieve the body, they looted her top so back to the EM gate to EM hall, then to the Brit HUB my luna house, then the Umbra house to get a new top. Can you see doing that without the gates or Hub? I am glad we have them.
