    Secondly, by removing the drive of players to ride between towns you derail your ability to create immersive content. Especially when you consider the amount of events that can happen between towns. Adding instant travel encourages players to avoid the vast majority of the game's areas unless they are specifically going to to do a preplanned event. Players will not venture off the beaten path if they can simply instant travel from one place to the next. Once again, that is why Anima porting has a limit.

    Finally, by releasing instant porting first you greatly diminish any advantages that a person might have gained through taking the full length travel. You can't rely on discount prices for non-instant travel because people will have adapted to the current rates. You can't rely on content because it will be ignored in favor of speedy travel or will require rewards so good that people begin to ignore the rest of the game.

    The simple fact is, by making instant travel between cities you are effectively detracting from the rest of the games. The markets suffer, population density suffer, areas become desolate, and future content become greatly limited.
    i been walking for 1 year to each of the 3 cities and i have never saw anything new outside of an update. exploring means to look for something you have not seen or been to before. Not walk the same path 14 times a day. this is one of the stupidest debates i have ever seen. Thats like saying im exploring on my way to work, or school, or im exploring when i go home after work.... thats silly. Theres a chance i can see things i never saw before going to work but after 5 years coming here and going the same route its still exporing to you? thats crazy.

    So no its not.
