Or you could make it just like dropping a runestone if you are not fully healed it wont let you through. Also i don't think the moongates really keep you from having to run through the map as they are only placed in certain areas. The moogates are most useful in getting to places you can't run to like Moonglow or Jhelom.

and yew*

Just make it so that if you choose a location, that location will be stuck on it for like a few minutes or so.

sounds good to me ... it's what I said in my thread. I agree with Bob I think we need to promote more over world travelling... I don't like using the RC much but since the moongates were changed I pretty much have to...

How about we change it so that blues can access the Moongates, but not reds? That way there is no timer and crafters (or blue players in general) can access the gates without any restrictions. Idk if everyone would be up for that, but I think its a good suggestion.

I mean I like traveling on horse and just exploring Obsidian, but Jhelomn and other places such as that can only be accessed through the gates. So putting a timer (even a little one) is pretty discouraging IMO.

But as always it's up to Bob to decide how the Moongates operate in the world.

Thats a bad idea imo.
I hate that after i die, and i cant access my body to heal up and what not, im not able to rune out, so i use a moon gate, but thatll make that useless aswell...

Dear Traveller,

Any of Lord British's subjects who has voyaged through the lands of Sosaria is undoubtedly aware that a long journey can be perilous for the unprepared traveller. Only the hardiest and most knowledgeable of souls should venture alone into the wilderness, for strange creatures and unsavory bandits await the unwary. It is a foolish traveller who ventures overland without a strong sword arm, mystical defenses, or a party of true companions.

Unfortunately, the perils of travel stifle the economic progress and cultural interchange created by inter-city trade. To relieve this hardship, Lord British has encharged the most powerful sorcerors of our land to create the moongates. Timed by the transit of Sosaria's twin moons, the moongates serve as magic portals between the busiest regions of our fair world. These portals can be used freely by all; no longer must the skills of a master magician be contracted to provide such transportation.

Although the areas immediately surrounding the moongates are patrolled by Lord British's guards, one must take care not to be ambushed by the ruffians and rogues that atimes lay in waiting near the gates. However, as the gates lie near the major cities of the realm, a quick dash to safety can be made once one gains familiarity with the proximity of the gates to their corresponding cities.

nosympathy, the whole point of this change was so blues could not escape pks...so ur idea is counter productive

I like Drizzt's post...

And agree with the dislike of the new way the gates function. I don't understand though why if somebody did ever use the gates to escape a pk, why that would be a bad thing? Are you not then only left with the options of either running to the nearest guarded area or confronting your agrressor - whether or not your char is pvp or a crafter?

Granted you could say 'don't venture out of town then'...but that is to much of a narrow view in my opinion.

My vote therefore is not to implement any proposed changes, but to simply revert it back to the way it was.
For your second point - I agree with the need to prompt travel around the world. This may belong in a different topic may be, but my suggestion for this would be to limit where the Rune Chamber can go i.e. just Brit and/or Vesper for people to stock up on basic necessities - and further transport after this should then be left to recalling, by foot, mount and boats

All just my opinion.

this idea seems the most resonable, but instead of the, if your being attacked option, why not like the deathstone in deceit, everyone within so many steps of you is transported with you. so the fight can continue.

I just think the simplest idea is " If it ain't broke, don't fix it." This time could be spent on fixing things that really do need the time invested.

Oh this was a 45 second patch, so it was hardly time out. I did it when i was modifying the weather and moon system. That being said, it is needed, as the fact is most players use only 5% of the playable area. Heck i doubt if i held a footrace between vesper and minoc if people would make it in a timely fashion.
I just wanted moongates in a solved state before the runestone chamber blows up.
