Hey guys! Thought i should share this to see how other people feel.
I would love to see TP-runs back ingame. Now I'm sure all the oldies reading will remember what I'm talking about but for anybody who has joined us since the introduction of vehicles, i will give a quick explanation...
Before vehicles, new players had to gather all new teleporters on foot. This would be quite difficult alone, as there would often be many hungry and aggressive mobs along the path. So this led to the formation of community organised events known as "TP-Runs", in which more experienced players would come together to guide and guard a group of new players from attacking mobs, on their way through the wilderness to various teleporters.
This led to a lot of great social and community interaction for new players. It was a chance for new players to meet other new players, meet more experienced players, join societies, learn new things, fire a few shots at bigger mobs in team, and of course just have lots of fun!
I think this would be of great benefit to the new user experience! A simple way to re-implement this, would be to add a mission to obtain a vehicle license. This license would then allow you to access a vehicle. Passing the mission would involve running on foot to various TPs across the continent...
So... what you guys think?
