Ideas on Porting

Ok so My idea is to completely remove porting, as in its way to OP. Wagons are fairly unused because someone can just jump between CRs carrying LCs above their head and stuff but if you removed them you could have a proper wagon carrying your load of gold and pearls protected by armed forces to bring it to somewhere. I think the only suitable porting to keep in is traveling to hearth fire because you can't just go back and forth with it. I another worthy edition would be to have wagons owned by people similar to a P-Claim and if you took from it it would leave theft scents and destroying or moving it without permission would leave vandal scents. So that way proper Wagon Trading could work. It would make it more realistic (lets be honest though HnH isn't about realism really) but it would also make it really hard to get around to places, but people could possibly build long roads to other places and as soon as Jorb & Loftar rework the engine to make bridges you could just have a straight road to somewhere and walk that or use milestones to go down it.

I'm sure theres flaws with the idea so let me know



PS: ADD DECORATIVE STATUES TO THE GAME!

there is 1 small flaw

TRADING

who would rish 40 pearls and troll skull to srim 18 hours to get some item and then go back with that item

Yes I realize that I said to travel great distances and meant for trading,
I think that people would risk it because they already do when porting over for trading, If you were to trade with someone who did that then wouldn't their reputation be ruined as is the idea of all trading, the premise that made the entire idea of trading, and if they did that and you has people would you attack and raid them, This may not be properly conveyed but I don't know how to say what I mean.

I personally think that Jorb & Loftar intended it to be similar to real life at that time but with like elements of magic like hearth fires and stuff. Though this would change how trading works I personally think it would work.

Adding more risks to trading - I like the idea. Trading might be more interesting if teleporting were removed. Most things are easier to collect than to transport across the world, sure, but this means people will look primarily towards their immediate neighbors to trade with. The value of an item might be different in one supergrid vs. another because of the locations of the people who need or produce those items. Local trade hubs might develop in the four quadrants of the world. People who really enjoy traveling might start a shipping service between the trade hubs. A number of things might happen...

edit: also I'm fairly sure teleport removal has already been discussed man -> one such thread

I searched for teleport removal, nothing really it seems

You're aware that the server is rented, they pay a monthly fee for us to use and play HnH...smashing it means to pay for travel to datacenter and for smashed hardware - guess that money should better be spent on their own HW at colocation in Stokholm...

I guess you're never travelled real big distances or you'd know the pain to crawl along with a lifted boat full of goodies - always in fear of a server crash that might mean a loss of boat and to walk a long distance again...

@Phaen - i wonder ... if you want dangerous trades just do with TPing to unknown "traders" wasn't you known to be a trustable friendly trader???

lol it's 2013 and someone said "make bridges"

Didn't they confirm that eventually they would rework the engine and add bridges?
