What are your thoughts on in-game travel, how should it be implemented?
Although "Portals" are great, I always feel it takes away from the game much like a "fast-travel" option in RPGs. I think a debuff to make fast travel less appealing would be good unless it was returning to a "home" or something along those lines.

Some more info here for you @Jebporkins. Video link. In terms of what I personally would like to see? I think Intrepid are going down the correct path, ie, the less fast travel ingame the better.
Fixed it for you
A fantasy medieval MMO with a Rolls Royce as a mount is just ridiculous. Yes ArcheAge, I'm looking at you! *mic drop*
@FliP Truer words have never been spoken. One of **many** things that killed Archeage for me.
I'm happy to hear that there wont be anything like fast travel or things like that, I feel it just takes away too much of the game. Similar thoughts on Flying, Gliding seems to be a fair trade off though.
@Kratz thanks! I'll check that video out tonight
They leave blisters cuz man are they smokin hot!
With necessity that they are slower then mounts, so people who actually ride manually have some advantage.
And since people aren't safe anywhere, being AFK would still be a risk, so people should still worry about that. It would be up to player if he wants to place his character on the carriage andgo AFK only to find himself without loot, and randomly respawned somewhere else in zone after.
The logic fails when I can shoot fireballs from my finger and generate 1000 Volts of lightning bolt, call for demon coming from the ground, resurrect dead but cannot poof one place to another?
I want my character to defy gravity and dimensions. I don't mind a magic broom, or rug, or pegasuses carrying a caravan through the sky.
@Kratz I think @Karthos just called you fat. Shocking I know and quite rude.
As we know fast travel in AOC thankfully will not be a thing, with only scientific nodes being able to develop a limited form of fast travel, that will only be within the actual node its self. Plus there will be flying mounts only available to a very special few leaders or very rare limited time flying mounts.
I truly hope they stick to this principal and do not relent under pressure from the masses, I can already read zone chat in my mind full of complaints as to why there is no fast travel in game and how stupid it is. There is no better way to make an MMO world feel small than fast travel.
That would redefine the games entire genre, from a Fantasy to a Sci-fi.. and they want to make a high fantasy MMO xD
Love the idea of no portals or flying, just the good old road by foot or mount.
I'm sure you mean modern technology.
and if they add a mount like this one then then can have all the moneyz
Took the title a little too literally there mate
Fun to be had!
