I'd also like to make an overall suggestion/request that all island destinations (Genevia, Shepherd Mountain, Scorpion Island, etc) be added to all gates on those respective islands. For example, if I was in Shepherd Mountain: Cresent and I stepped up to the teleport gate, the destination list would list it's current destinations as well as all destinations with the Shepherd Mountain: prefix tag.

New Travel Gate:
Community Name: Underground cave at secret location, accessable by all other pads.
Coordinates: If we told you, we'd have to kill you
Associated Destination Pads:
All possible public destinations

Note : You must pay to access this cave, and you must leave the cave within 2 minutes, or you will be forcibly removed by a swarm of angry pixies.

After the first cave shows economic viability, the creation of alternate caves will begin. To prevent overcrowding, only 10 individuals will be allowed into any one given cave. Those wishing to travel will be re-routed to alternate transfer caves automatically. Nobody will be refused transit, but families may be separated en-route. Do not fear for the safety of your children, there will be responsible adults present to send them to where their transport ticket indicates they should go.

It might be even better to make caves client only (allowing only one player in each cave would allow the caves to be entirely on the client side), which would allow the game to flush textures out of memory while you run from one end of the cave to the other? This would avoid the possibility of people trading while enroute (taking up server resources better used for populated areas), and perhaps offer opportunity for cleaning up memory usage problems?

For me and others lag in Tazoon is unbearable and I for 1 would like a different route back to civilization...
The only direct route there is now is through lag filledTazoon or a route that I tend to use as dragon lately... "Any Playertown" -> Selen -> Chiconis...

[Nitestorm]

I have to second that pleasent canyon one ^_^ hehe i was going to add it but i see it is done ^_^

Add Destination to Existing Gate:

Add Destination to Existing Gate:
Community Name: Bristugo Gate to Dalimond Penninsula
Coords: 22105/22490
New Destinations:
New Rachival
Tazoon West
Tazoon South

New Rachival and Tazoon are the only racial cities you can't port to from these places, they should be included.

New Travel Gate:
Community Name: Solitaire (Scorpion Island)
Coords: 19377/18217
Associated Destination Pads:
Bristugo (at least here, if not more places)

Scorpion Island is huge with only two gates on the entire island (the gate to abandoned island and the gate at Slate Hills). There should be another way to get to civilization without recalling. This gate will help the communities in the northeastern part of the island - Solitaire, Elmnic, Fabric Isle, Mambow Pt, and I think Darvus as well.

New Travel Gate:
Community Name: Water's Edge (Scorpion Island)
Coords: Not Sure
Associated Destination Pads:
Bristugo (at least here, if not more places)

Same as above, another gate in the southern part of Scorpion island. This will help Water's Edge, Scorpion's Claw, Bridgehold, and South Point. Really you could place the gate in any of those communities, I just picked the one in the middle.

( I can't count how many times folks have assumed they could get to my place from Bristugo :) Please let's make that possible. )

Add Destination to Existing Gate:
Community Name: Aiya
Coordinates: 28645 28897
New Destination Pads:
Bristugo
New Rachival
Tazoon West

( I could finally bind at my lot if I had a way to connect to the various other portal rings from it. )

Add Destination to Existing Gate(s):
Community Name(s): All Settlements with Gates (and please add gate to Mia's Edge)
Coordinates: sorry, only have Aiya's.
New Destination Pads:
Bristugo
New Rachival
Tazoon West

( Not trying to limit it to Aiya )

Add Destination to Existing Gate:
Community Name: New Rachival
Coordinates: 23214 25539
New Destination Pads:
Island of Ice
Trandalar (any one or more of the 5 Trandalar pads)

( Very much need to eliminate an extra port from getting to those places from the Settlement ring -- this presupposes that the Settlements will now be able to reach New Rachival directly )

-Levity Merrel, Crai Aisling, Sans AoP by Aiya's pad needs its shrine used more
100 Blacksmith/79 Fitter/45 Mason/45 Carpenter/100 Reaver/53 IceD

PS Folks who frequent the resource isles like Scorpion, please put in some good locations there. I know that it would be great to be able to port from, say, Elmnic to the Settlements when doing construction on homes.

[Matecuss]

I have two proposals for Mia's Edge. Currently it has a destination pad only, even though its on the same list as all other towns such as harro, and morning light. It is also the most spread out community to such a point that from the east side it's more efficent to run from Grayling then it is to use the comminuty port in.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suggestion A
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My first suggestion is to maketwo destinations -Mia's Edge West and East.

Retain the existing Destination Pad and add a new travel gate:

New Travel Gate:
Community Name: Mia's Edge West
Coordinates: 27760, 19538
Associated Destination Pads
Aiya, Desert's Edge, Dikaina, Drift Point, Dryart, Falathien, Granite Hills, Grayling, Harro, Harton Valley, Heather, Lerena, Mia's Edge, Morning Light, Parsinia, Selen, South March, Tishlar, Tazoon South, Tazoon West

Add both a new portal and destination pad to the east side:

New Destination Pad:
Community Name: Mia's Edge East
Coordinates: 28299, 19698
Associated Travel Gates:
Aiya, Desert's Edge, Dikaina, Drift Point, Dryart, Falathien, Granite Hills, Grayling, Harro, Harton Valley, Heather, Lerena, Mia's Edge, Morning Light, Parsinia, Selen, South March, Tishlar,Tazoon West


New Travel Gate:
Community Name: Mia's Edge
Coordinates: 28354, 19698
Associated Destination Pads
Aiya, Desert's Edge, Dikaina, Drift Point, Dryart, Falathien, Granite Hills, Grayling, Harro, Harton Valley, Heather, Lerena, Mia's Edge, Morning Light, Parsinia, Selen, South March, Tishlar, Tazoon South, Tazoon West

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suggestion B
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If this isn't possible then I would suggest at least distributing the travel ammenities between both sides of Mia's Edge, i.e. Just putting a portal on the east side:

New Travel Gate:
Community Name: Mia's Edge East
Coordinates: 28354, 19698
Associated Destination Pads
Aiya, Desert's Edge, Dikaina, Drift Point, Dryart, Falathien, Granite Hills, Grayling, Harro, Harton Valley, Heather, Lerena, Mia's Edge, Morning Light, Parsinia, Selen, South March, Tishlar,Tazoon West

[Matecuss]

For portals or destinations pads your going to add, how about letting us have to build them first, rather then just appear overnight. This would give the community crafters something to do that would result in real benefit.

Another suggestion, how about letting us build plotbased mini-portals that say only take us to bristugo.

:o Your basically going to see each gate allowing travel to all pads... Thats what everyone wants...

Why not place gates in the middle of every resource cluster while were at it. :P
