Finding someone to play with + the costs involved

[Ufedhin]

I would favour the simple solution of making teleporter use free just that..no charge allowing swift easy movement between towns ,thus helping bards ,minstrels ,and other ragtag wastrels to wander freely ,it would also help new players getting started with trade .
Town taxes would pay for there own teleporter up keep .keep the cost of teleporter transport from the necktie as Northhoff wont want the extra cost on his head

Or establish connecting paved roads of relative safety between the towns ,with afew safe rest huts on the way.

When we first moved to illarion all these things where howled and moaned about ,we were not given much relief, we had to find our way but the issue did not dissapear.

Yes, and how many times has the issue come up? I seem to remember seeing it since my return. It keeps popping up.

I don't agree with free. But I do like my idea of a percentage of net worth. The rich pay more, the poor pay less. And it could be capped at 20 silvers or something reasonable. This seems like it would be an easy change and something the player base could adapt to quickly.

I think this would be a great compromise and we should go for it. At least this way *everyone* can travel, no matter how much they have or don't have and are not stuck in a place. Assuming there is no downside to this suggestion, can we implement this pretty please +__+

What how do you propose the wealthy should pay more ? who's going to check in my pockets .. bad idea that ,wealthy folk generate what little business exists in the game so dont penalise that .Better free ,let the wastrels have there freedom to die in the winter or at Mas in anytown they choose.

Honestly - I don't even mind how - as long as we can guarantee that *everyone* can travel, no matter how wealthy or not. I think that's the core issue.
Any other staff members have some ideas/input on this? Is this still under discussion?

* have some coins (10 silver or more) or a travelbook with you
* it is not to hard to earn some coins

Since this thread is mainly about new players and the problems involved and since this Mantis project has begun: http://illarion.org/mantis/view.php?id=10033


Let's see how that helps the new players for now. I'll lock this for now but feel free to ask for it to be reopened or begin another if there is a similar issue later on. If there is another request/discussion such as travel that is not necessarily new player you might wish to open a different topic.
