Travelers - Endless Ages

I know some people might not like this idea. But remove the travelers. I've said this since they were introduced in gold, since they ruin the game. New players and people are moving around the map, teleporting here and there without even knowing the main land map. They don't even know where each island is or recognize the important features. Even more so you see less people moving around the world.

I remember, in beta, traveling from BC to Trendor and it was a giant undertaking, dangerous, not knowing where it would lead me, someone else showed me the way and later i tried myself moving around the coast just close enough so i would not be seen.

Anyway i think you keep a lot of mistery in EA without the travelers, people get to know the maps better, more sence of adventure and the size of the map. Old players might say no we have to travel more it takes more time, but it's not true. When you level up and get lets' say a n Ean you can travel the world much faster anyway, not to mention when you get that flying bat or razor.

I'm sorry, but I don't think that the travellers are causing as much damage as you are claiming.

It is true that the travellers save you from going outside, preventing you from getting killed, but if you want to do quests or level, you have to go outside anyway. Once people are outside, they learn quickly where is what and how to avod certain dangerous places.

Newer players need to try exploring from island to island, especially before they reach level 10 and have to start worrying about dropping items. I used the travelers to get a few viewpoints on the main world in a sense before I started traveling using an ean orb. It was fairly easy to learn where everything was in relation to the whole HC island. (How about a guard quest like we had back in BT? Only, keep the guards around HC island's perimeter, and have the player go around one by one, with a guard pointing out Sial Island, AP Island and Sluggith, BM, Unity, MR, and BC. HC is quite good for reference...)
