*just going to repeat what I said in the last preview messege*

All this sounds fine and dandy, and it bugs me a little that I won't be playing it because of the god awful amount of traveling that's done in this game. I spend way too much time running back and forth between quests and towns that it drives me crazy. I really enjoy the game, but I spend A LOT more time just running around then playing the game. It's really the only thing thats keeping me from resubbing to the game...

I guess I'm just spoiled by some of the MMOs I have played: Guild Wars where you can travel to any town at any time. LoTROs hunters "porting" abilites, having stables at every town, and just the quests (givers) not being so far apart. Champions Online travel powers making everything pretty quick to get too. DDOs teleporters...

The travel part make the world more real and open to me! If you not like it maybe you not get back to the single player rpgs with map travel! I take long travel over grinding any day!!

huh? I don't play single player rpgs, bud. Nor do I enjoy grinding at all. I actually really hate grinding. I generally haven't had a problem with it with the games I have played so I'm not sure what you are talking about.

I am talking about the way MMOs need make you loss time! They not want you to get all quest guys next to you and you just bam level to the max they need add something to keep you busy! WoW did it with travel, Guild Wars did not need it like they did not had any subs. Lots of MMOs do it with long grinds and quests that are really grinds to start with. I just saying that this travel thing pretty sure will work like WoW you go to a arena that also is a quest hub and you can do like 5/6 quests there and later you get a quest to go to a nearby quest hub and so on.... If they do have you running around like a mad man you doing something wrong or the game got a bad quest line design!

Guess you haven't played in awhile. There are multiple ways to travel now. Wagoneers will take you directly to zones, your path of Asura can be used for instant travel and with the veteran rewards you can pick up direct porting abilities to every major place now.
