Charters should be easier to use

It's pretty rare that my willage gets online to do a group activity this late in the world, and since the sled nerf every occurrence has resulted in people being left out or it simply not happening due to somebody not having the charter. The same will be even more true early next world when not only will people not have charter memos, but will also not have enough will to really travel long distance.

Could have an option to make charters public, disabling the need to memorize them. Or, have them be describable, or let people transport their friends through charters similarly to sled's old functionality... Or just give us back the CRs that nearly everybody who actually played liked :D

Awe yes, we need the quick teleporting bots back again and the people who use to brute force their way into villages with those codes.
good times, miss killing the game thought the use of bots and exploits. o wait.

It means that community is so tired of you so you REALLY should go seek another game to ruin, or fuck yourself elsewhere

I think the idea is worth paying attention to. after all, your bots don't have too many WILL and memorized stones. I am strongly in favor of making it easier for bot herds to destroy the lives of others

Sorry for playing Devil's Advocate, but what can "bot herd" of (presumably) fresh spawn alts do? I don't remember anyone giving solid answer when SS brought this up in some other thread.

Things like this is why these forums are useless, people use it as a platform to troll the people they personally dislike instead of discussing ideas seriously.

As for the idea itself, +1. I think W10 was a lot of fun with all the trading and socializing that was going on. I don't like how difficult meeting up has become lately, it gets boring very fast and makes the worlds grow stale quicker. There's no incentive to dedicate time on large scale projects like markets and events if barely anyone can actually be bothered/is capable of attending.

I'm happy with the current charter stone system.

Charter Stones were removed from the game in the past because people would guess the passphrase to get into any village that left theirs activated. They used a bot that guessed every possible combination of letters/numbers. I would not want to go back to that mechanic.

The idea about having a parchment that describes a charter stone interests me. It's almost like written directions. JLo could make it give you the charter memorization, but I expect they would give you an arrow similar to tracking instead. It would be neat to have parchments that give directions to other landmarks too.

DIS use to brute force finding stones.
Then would proceed to spawn dozens of alts, + fires. I wish I had a picture, bet someone still does.

This use to be a way to get over walls, but after DIS did it a few times they fixed the problem.
Afterwards it started again to find peoples wells and other grief shit so they added the checkbox to turn it off and on.
Then lastly they had to add the current patch (the one snuggle wants to remove) because DIS made so many combat alts (that they bot fed) were able to teleport where ever they wanted to fight because simply placing down a stone.

If the current restriction of having to visit a stone is removed, then snuggle can go grab snuggles boted rocks. Place charters all around the world. Then have random players use botfed alts again to teleport to any fight without having to put in an time or effect.

long story short - just believe you don't want to know what can "bot herd" do, and there's really no reason to give more instruments to a botter just to find yourself in the middle of nowhere with a thought "Oh, that's what he can do?"
