Re: Riftway Stones
I personally don't have any problems with the stones ruining the immersion. They just save me some boredom and let me spend my limited online time doing something (fighting, crafting, exploring. . .) that I find more interesting than making a trip I've made many times before. But I guess I understand why some people are bothered by it.
That being said, something like this has got to happen at some point. Right now, we're only a few months removed from launch. Even hardcore types who play eight hours a day are still exploring to a certain extent. But by summer or fall, the 30-45 minute trip that once seemed sorta fun is going to get old (for some people it already has. . .). How many times can you take the same road before you get tired of it? And grouping/raids will certainly be much easier (I shudder to think what oldschool EQ1 raiding would have been like without druid and wizard portals).
But maybe I'm wrong and everyone who opposes this will enjoy the long, uneventful cross-continent rides as much in three months as they do now.
