New piece of info on Teleporting:

There will be "pockets of energy" that certain classes can use to teleport to other "pockets". However, they are dangerous to use and could be guarded by non-trivial Mage mobs and/or teleport you to a dangerous section of the world. They could also give you negative buffs/effects such as blurring your screen.
So far, so good. As long as it's not every class. Put our old friend at every pocket:

Starting to see P99 backer comments. Funny to see the impact of that community, hope to be surprised.

edit: Everytime I write P99 i think of P90X.

I'm good with that method of teleporting. Chance of sending you into far worse an area than you wanted , if combined with a reasonable death penalty , means people might not choose to bunny hop around the world using them.

New method of teleport sounds like a blast...Nothing like thinking your going one place only to arrive somewhere else and fighting for your life....Thats a world I want to live in for sure!

I didn't hear/read/see the P99 interview yet but grats and thanks to Rogean for stepping up. The travel/teleport stuff posted above sounds interesting in concept, although judgement reserved on what it would look like implemented. I certainly get a sense VR isn't just stuck in the old school rut and are looking to try new things and also push the genre as well as paying homage to the games we all loved.

Druids being "masters of travel" and "jacks of all trades" from an article I read by a dev somewhere was the thing that lead me to start one after a week of stumbling around BB as a dwarf pally. Striking that balance of interdependence although with not making it overly tedious and cumbersome is real trick.

This is why I use to drop people into SF or EJ and then leave :p

With that sort of porting system with inherent dangers , they easily could still let wizards and druids have a guaranteed safe port and have people seek them out , using the iffy portal system as last resort (or hoofing it).

Lower level zones there shouldnt be any whoops ports, because lets face it, its not going to matter, high level zone ports should have some dangers. At least for certain zones where ya going for a raid or something. I remember porting into what Wakening Lands and sometimes that fucking Dragon was there and would kick my ass, cause i was just a lowly necro. I had to hope i can get FD off fast, but kinda didnt matter if he did an AE.

Dont think it was wakening lands, the fucking zone Next to Kael.

was either Eastern Wastes or Wakening Lands then
Its been a while. Porting into that zone though, everyone would ask, is the dragon up! If he was, sometimes it got nasty and corpse runs were needed or your corpse pulled to the KD zone for rez's.

Confirmed. I spent weeks in those geonid caves soloing my alt necro, and also hunted those gems for the ToV class armor there on my Enchanter.

Definitely ended up in Wuoshi bowels on occasion.

Edit: until SOE moved the zone of course.

I'm curious what LFG thinks of the proposed travel system?

Sounds like a lot of lol potential.
