Although, I can't say that for sure.<BR/><BR/>I suppose it's not out of the realm of possibilities that it would take you other places... like ones with ports already.Leiandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538165503955317466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2227696920491367483.post-57833907809495747532008-07-23T10:30:00.000-07:002008-07-23T10:30:00.000-07:00Cool pics, thanks!

Although I must admit, the idea of playing the beta only to have my character deleted when it goes public isn't too exciting.<BR/><BR/>On a side note, one thing that I noticed in EverQuest 1 is that as the game got older, travel became less and less painful. It started out as you had to run everywhere. Like hearthstones, you had a bind point, which could be anywhere in the game though. People would run to where they needed, then get naked (You had to loot your corpse to get your gear back), and then suicide to travel faster. There was serious money for the higher levels who could teleport from place to place. <BR/><BR/>Later on, EQ came up with portals that would port you to a main junction that linked to other locations. I think WoW is following this same line with Shattrath. They just introduced mounts at a lower level and now with the new expansion, it looks like they are helping lower levels travel easier with a new boat? I'm assuming that's what the new harbor will have in it.<BR/><BR/>I hope that someday they realize that travel times, while sometimes a nice break, can be excessive. Travelling from the end of one continent to another can take 30 mins. I thought the goal was to make it so you felt like you accomplished something in 30mins, and travelling isn't accomplishing things, it's just moving. Flight times of over 5 minutes is just insane. While I must admit, it's improved after having to hop on the bird after every node, I think they can still shorten travel times. A new harbor is just one more nice thing to help travel, especially at lower levels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
