This would allow people to more easily spread out a little in Boston and keep the central area from becoming a total cluster ***** if the game gets a higher population. It would also make Boston feel less dead outside the statue area.

Are you imagining little bind stones?

Yeah, something like that, where you could go to an area of Boston interact with an object in that area and in the future it would port you into that general area instead of the area around the statue.

No, cause ranger bot spamming.

No I don't think you understand. This is about where you port into Boston. Not on the map. Boston has gotten very laggy with all it's graphics updates and new players. This issue is just going to keep getting worse.

It would also be cool if we could build port stones around our towns... so we can quickly port among multiple locations in a town. I waste so much of my gameplay just walking around my own town.

I do not want you to be able to port randomly around the map though.

ACtually...

I thought the Dev plan was to incorporate more 'safe zone' trading posts around the map... tying yourself to one of these would require a similar mechanic as suggested in this thread.

It really shouldn't be that hard to implement... but to be useful you'd have to port far enough away from town that it doesn't show up in the mini-map at all...

Logging in near the ships would not be far enough away.

When/if market stalls go live... the rubber-banding will only get worse
