I wonder, is it possible to make teleporters inactive if you log in onto them? Because I just logged in and was imediately teleported to Varshikar, and it's quite frankly so frustrating that I'm just not going to play after all right now.
Not possible, at least not that easy. Sure, the server could check for low volume items on a tile where your char is supposed to spawn, but I think the drawbacks (not being able to login on beds, chairs, tiles with flowers, work for the server team,...) are much bigger than the benefits (...?).
Actually some do it on perpose. When I was watching my friend play he said ((BRB)) once and logged and another guy casted a teleport where he logged out, so he came back and their I was, Tol Vanima.
You must not want to play very much if such a little thing annoys you, Devrah. It's not a big deal. Log out in a different place if it bothers you so much.
Papoitsi, I think it's the long, boring walk back that discouraged her from playing. You know, the thing that pretty much spoils it all because it's boring.
That was a very unlikely incident. Considering that a portal appears at random somewhere in an area of 64 tiles. Don't think you could deliberately reproduce it with a book.
I guess technical solutions are not called for. If you're really in the wrong spot and in a hurry, contact a GM or a Dev, they can get you back in no time.
Which makes me think: There should be some offset in the mage spell too, depending on the skill of the caster and success of the spell.

Well I barely have any time off of work and I don't want to spend 15 minutes of it walking by tile after tile of nothing.
There's a lot between Varshikar and TB, but what makes it most annoying is that the majority of it is mountain (slowing you down a lot), followed by desert (slowing you down enough), and then grass (which is fine).
While it would be nice if Aegohl could stick in something nice to look at now and again, there really isn't a lot that he can do. No, that isn't a challenge, I swear. lol.
I do the walk all the time, however, but my agility is fairly high. It takes about 5 minutes.
Right now I'm working on a much-larger, more beautiful, Lake Adron. Now that it's larger, it includes a small island one can take a ferry to. There one will find a nice, quiet place to enjoy a bottle of wine with a colleague.
However, in the distance one can see the dark pillar, now with a wall warning people to stay away, reminding them that, while they can relax and enjoy themselves now, evil is on the horizon. =)
Today when I was mining and used the book it created the portal on the cave wall that surrounds the mine. What a waste. I had to walk (This actually is happening now, lol). Now that is annoying.

That is one of the limitations on those portals that were deliberately put in. They are not intended as a foolproof, failsafe instant cheap easy way out of any situation.
