Have a 1hr (or adjustable length timer) on each TP, if no one has activated (used) it within the timer length, it becomes an inactive tp and people can not teleport to it until someone physically goes and turns it back on. (touches it)
Perhaps give the TPs SI which goes to 0 when the timer is reached as well as is damaged by mobs or robots during invasions, and the TP can not be used either direction unless it is at 95% SI or higher.
Then it is up to the community to keep Tps open that they want to use.
I wonder how long it would take before someone, somewhere started up a series of laptops, several accounts ready at every TP
Once it goes down and he wants to move his "main" avatar there, log in on the side avatar, activate tp... switch..
Things like this would just cause problems...
WHY are you people obsessed with making the game unreachable for people?
You want more "adventure" or what is the deal?
WHY on EARTH(eudoria) would you want to stop us from reaching our destinations?????????? I do not get it!!
"It adds more depth and feeling to the game!" is that really it?
Perhaps adding some other feature, that does not make us into cripples would give more feeling or are we (the entropia community) really that dull so we wanna do this?
To 99% of the players, especially new ones that just went out and gathered all TPs, a huge headache and regret of spending that time gathering TPs.. they would never come back..
As oleg mentioned, make the game more convenient ...... not the other way around
This would also kill team hunting.... right?
5 players, different locations all over map. Let's go kill the event mobs... oh no wait, teleporter down for 1 hour... we have to wait..
*rolling thumbs for one hour* <---------- time well spent, could have been spent hunting, skilling, having fun, socializing with the friends... but nah we're all isolated now
... If you really ,really want it this way..
Then do not use the teleporter, leave it to the others. Pick up your quad or vtol and travel across amethera for two days, try not using the TPs at all and come back and tell me:
Was it worth it?
----------------------
When your friends want to meet up with you, decide with each other that you tp to different teleporters and then "pretend" that the teleporters are done, you got 15 mins before you have to leave because you just got called in to work.. the problem tho, you have to hand over the item you just borrowed from your society leader or friend but there is a damn long distance between you all....
Thank god teleporters doesn't work
