Lets go everywhere instantly lololol

I really miss that feeling of exploration like in Everquest where just getting to the next zone or next city is a huge journey. Never played XI so I wouldn't know if they had it too. REALLY tired of this teleport anywhere at any time crap just because "I wanna play with my friends!!!"

I always thought WoW had a pretty good system - I didnt like the graphics so exploring wasnt as magical but man did I walk around lol.

They had teleport to Inn, teleport to town (mage), mounts, airships, boats, tram, and an aether system but in my opinion way cooler XD (wasnt isntant, you had to travel to the network to use the network, you got to see live environment below you and get some pretty cool views). Too bad because the world is zoned in FFXIV that traveling on an aetherstream or lifestream is impossible (visually).

Suppose you could create a zone called the stream but it is less exciting then seeing the live environment below (watching people get owned or big battles going on below lol). Also offered that "oh I should go pee moment lol when you've been playing way too much on the weekends"

For me, Everquest Online Adventures for PS2.. The MMO that got me into MMO's.. Such a classic.. Miss it so much. /cry

I recently tried XI again on a new character. On second day I found myself stuck at the dunes wanting to go back to Windurst to give a friend a linkpearl. I was a bit shocked when I realised I'd have to take the ferry from Selbina to Mhaura (wait time up to 15 min, travel time maybe 10 mins?), then run from Mhaura to Windy through Buburimu Peninsula, then Tahrongi Canyon and finally Saruta-Baruta. It took me maybe 45 mins to get to my destination.

The situation kind of made me miss XIVs instant teleports but I actually prefered XIs system. When you started the game, your travel options were extremely limited (as in example above) so you were forced to run everywhere (read: explore and see the world). When you gained some levels and advanced in the game you gained chocobo licence, airship pass, teleport spells, warp items and outpost warps and in the end traveling was pretty fast. But you had to travel a lot by feet first, experience the feelings of exploration, discovery and danger, and I think the system worked great, even if it was a bit frustrating at times.

In the beginning of the game I had to run from Uldah to the Raptor Grinding spots at Coerthas, Ever Lakes and/or back, on foot, almost every day. This was because I needed to get my weapons (3 axes) repaired in order to skill up and the anima regain was way too slow to keep up.

I hated those runs. There wasn't any challenge to them. They took up a lot of time. They weren't entertaining.

OH MY GOD GUYS

I just had this incredible idea!

If you feel teleporting makes it a little too easy to get from point A to point B, don't use it!

I'm going to make a button in the game that gives you instant relics and max level. If you dont want it dont use it.

There is beauty in having less. Though of course debates arise from where the heck that line should be lol

In game is tiny, real life is huge. You could teleport in real life and it would still be huge.
