Mass Transport

My idea is mass transport. Where crits go in a train, airplane or subway. They use this to go to different towns, without getting pked. Like going from Nightmist to Blackthorn.
Also this will have a fee as usual.
Hope you like the idea, and if you want to join my clan page or memo Stride,

This sounds like the teleport room idea, except reworded to sound like something else. It has been discussed before and the deciding answer from JLH has been "No".

That would take all the fun out of lagging all your crits through the sewers.

Or just NOT make it so that it takes you directly to your destination in a split second.
Just make it walk your characters to the other town, BUT at a faster speed than you would regularly be able to. This would still make it so people would be able to be pked, ALSO It would help newbs map thier way to a new town *Of course they would have to fight for awhile in those arenas for the lets say 1k gold needed*
You could also make it stop at certain places to pick people up, so it would stop on certain squares.
You would have to make this something like riding a dragon or a carriage or something like that, then program a 'Carriage' Monster that would be running around with your party. You could then have people ATTACK the carriage killing it, which would cause all the people on the ride to stop with it *most likely dieing.*
This would be a pretty cool thing as people could coordinate attacks on the carriage and kill it gaining all the money the people have payed to it for rides. *As well as some pks  *
Sound cool?

monsters can be told to move by themselves and follow routes, so i could make it so that you can follow a monster from specific places (ie the places where it stops to let people 'join' it). i'll code it, if other staff are keen on it, and pandilex is ok with the idea.

Of course when it stopped it would need a command to give it the money and it invites you to its party or something wouldnt it?
It would also need to broadcast a message every time it stopped. Lol I can just see it coming onto the square, staying there for like 15 seconds then leaving and everyone is like 'What the heck was is supposed to do to take that?' lol.

Yeah stotic a fee would be a must, We cant have the old teleport houses comin back.
Oh and It should be 1k from nightmist to arilin, seeing as its all a man made road to the two and they are both in a sense starting towns.
But travelling to and from any other towns should cost 2k.

would it be moving at a pace where i could...i dunno..take an arch fighter and some other crits and just kill everything as we passed?...and would i be allowed to kill other people riding the ponies? would i be allowed to kill the conductor?..it'd be kind of like how the buffalos got wiped out if i were allowed to kill all leeches (or orcs and trolls going from bt to sarka) while we just ride past on a train...these are just my ?s since i dont entirly understand.

just wondering here but hmm wouldn't this be useless? it takes like 30 secs to move from one town to another or less. why pay 2k if you can move from one place to another really fast withouth having much chance of getting killed because you move really fast?

So how would this work? Would it somehow invite you into a party and drag you around? Would it just go square by square and you follow it? The whole idea doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

You follow it around as it pulls you to the next town/Place
It would move a bit faster than 'pkable speed', And yeah you could kill the 'conductor', That has been said already.
Jurian, There are people who cant move as fast as you, Your just unhumanly good at controlling like 300 characters and moving them all. Your just special
