The debuff slowly ticks down - let's say by 2% per minute. You cannot fast travel if it would mean increasing the debuff to over 100%. So practically you would have like 3 "charges" to fast travel in everbloom and 2 in coldsnap, but once you use them you have to wait 15 and 25 minutes, respetively, for them to recharge

It is a pity that the horse continues to disappear after every reboot (fall) server. Let 10K worth of silver but does not disappear (if it is not fed - die). Tears is that I now need to create 20 more characters.

P/S: Sorry for my english

While I can appreciate that there should be a need to balance between the benefits of living in the darkness and acquiring the specific stuff that only exists there, and the benefits of living closer to Providence and being able to travel easier to town, having a cooldown on porting will do nothing to encourage actual travel for the people living farther out. So then you end up with a situation where you've just slowed down trade for everyone, and need to figure out at what point do you want teleporting to stop being the more efficient means of trade, because that'll be the only point where you'll affect anyone in such a way that they might consider building a road and carting stuff.

So in light of the overall slowing of trade I'd like to propose that there be a mass transit system implemented after horses, that one can build in their base and only use it to travel to Providence. Such a system would allow you to travel to boston with say, a full inventory, for a silver cost. That way it'll incentivize profitable trade without just hindering people with another artificial barrier that's only there for the sake of being there. It'll stop spam, which is good, but give people the alternative to waiting out cooldowns, or actually make caravans somehow worth it. Nobody past a river can really cart over it, nor mountains, and even if they could someone that live 4 hours horseride away can care less about a cartload full of stuff, as nothing short of a chance for part of his inventory to vanish when fast travelling will make him choose the caravan. There is no requirement for that big an influx of trade goods to warrant many towns get together to transport enough stuff to warrant the time investment.
Exactly 6.022 x 10^23 worth of Lach molecules.

Only people I see this hurting is those who use providence for silting and other conveniences that they should have ensured they had at their base to begin with. You don't need to go sell stuff every minute, you don't need to go shopping every minute. Organize a little, make yourself a chest to store things you want to sell, then port to Boston when it's full or got other business there. Make yourself a shopping list, then buy whenever you really need to. I do beach foraging in Boston and do any selling and buying at the same time I do that, then I port back home and are done with my business there for hours. Learn to be efficient with your time and this shouldn't be hard to adapt to. If this helps keep down lag spikes then I'm all for it.
