Having just recently traveled from one village to another to enact a trade, I feel I should post my thoughts on this subject. After contacting the trader from work through the forums and letting them know I was interested in making a trade later in the evening when I was off work and at home (5 1/2 hours later) with a 2+ hour travel time both walking and by horseback, the trade went off very smoothly. However, afterwards I began thinking to myself, THIS was very inconvenient to the trader, who had to remain online and be able to interact with me, mainly in being aware of breaking and reforming party as the party arrow system is still bugged by having false locations of party member. Now I am certainly not on the bandwagon that Teleporting willy-nilly is the answer to everything, but perhaps something like the Stone Cairn can be used as a focal point, something that can be memorized by a visitor after their first visit, and can then be targeted over supergrids as a beacon to be traveled towards, Using such an object could not only give a traveler a destination point, but couls also be used to set permissions in a designated area.
Respectfully
