[crossfire] Should ship transportation cost money?

2013-01-06 Thread Kevin Zheng
Greetings,

Crossfire has a very big and impressive world map, spanning across a
continent filled with splendid cities and scary dungeons. Traveling by
foot is a great way to explore the world and find new adventure.

Being a huge continent, transportation infrastructure is very useful for
getting around. Dragon ports and ships are currently the most widespread
forms of transport. The former already cost money; you have to go
through the trouble of paying for an expensive ticket and board the
right dragon. The cost is a disincentive to use it too often.

However, traveling by ship is currently free and instantaneous. It's as
easy as using a magic portal: step on and press 'a' to teleport
somewhere else. I think this discourages foot travel and devalues
exploration outside of cities. Other transport cost money, so shouldn't
ships cost money too?

Thanks,
Kevin Zheng

 The metaserver selector does come up, but it is blank. Can't get anywhere.

Dunno what changed, but now it's working. Library upgrade on F17 installation?
