actually im happy that they dont go porting everyone around! that would not be good gaming imho

I think every player should be able to suicide and be able to get to their home respawn point at least.

Uh, no. You can't respawn in a different region to the one you died in. They're stuck unless they either go home by themselves or accept someone's offer of an escort. And while they are in the place they don't want to be, I suggest buying a 'porter ticket

Hugorune, there may well have been a port back to Pyr at some point, but there wasn't for me, so I'm not wrong. I only looked around the Zorai city for a minute or so before setting about looking for the Kami I imagined would be there to send me home. I even asked around for the way home and got no response. I was about to ask a GM when the server was about to go down. When I got back I asked a GM in game where was the npc to send me home, and he told me he wasn't allowed to tell me the location of any npcs. After a little more questioning of the GM I figured out there wasn't anyway home for me.

The real life examples some are giving in regard to playing this g a m e, should spare themselves the trouble of typing it. The way the real world operates and the way people act in the real world rarely has any bearing on that of a gaming environment. Some people here are saying or infering that based on real world common sense it was foolish to accept the Kami's offer of travel, there may be some truth to that. However, the same can be said for many other choices made in this game by players on a regular basis, none of which result in anywhere near as dire circumstances. If you beleive that players such as myself should remain in the circumstances we have found ourselves, then to be consistant you should also ask that players that die trying to fight a creature that is too tough for them should lose their character to death permenantly. Sounds stupid to have that in a game doesn't it? but hey, that's how it works in real life!

Xorte, I really wish my circumstances was like your Spain example. Because if it were I could easily buy a ticket home in Spain. Also its not like I have to walk through the likes of Fallujah Iraq by myself to get to bordering countries.

Oh and Vin99 They are teleporting people around, that's how this problem came about in the first place!

Another good post there R7chard. Personally I've given up on trying to get home and am just getting on with things in Tryker land. As a side benefit, they have all this water so it makes it much easier to level here than in Matis. I do find it amusing that quite a few posters really really want us to suffer for our mistake though. I must be because the three of four of us who are stuck getting a 10k port would ruin things for them.

I second that - another good post r7chard

I've been a part of the 'real-life' comment thing myself in the past, but I think a line has to be drawn somewhere. If people want to get all logical and rational about these experiences, it's also true that in real life you wouldn't just go blindly wandering (or teleporting) across borders into the unknown - you just wouldn't do it. However, if you took that stance in-game, it would be a damn boring game!

Also, we've spent many hours debating this now, and the actual event didn't last forever - as soon as most people were involved, there was a 'tide' of people all moving together, and very rarely stopping. I'm sure everyone agrees, not much time to look for teleporters, not much desire to stay in town with so many peeps on the hunt?

We could go for days and days discussing the logical and moral implications of this little incident I say we get together and have a damn good attempt at getting everyone back safely, as Neun already suggested - that would make much better posting content than the fact that people are stuck

im a tryker

i learned how to sneak through lagoons of loria, by myself with 500 hp, speed 1, and naked, after hearing a few things , and getting a few tips from players. was it easy? um, no lol (prepare to die many many, and i mean many times). was it rewarding? hell yeah! im in harvest heaven (q250 nodes, 1000's of them), and access to a portal to a new land, wow!


now, theres this nifty portal to matis lands in lagoos of loria. oooooh, how interesting. damn, id love to be able to get to a city in another land. im level 120 lake forage, and id really like to get my forest foraging started, for some different mats, different experiences, more xp, etc etc, and just really the chance to see another land.

well, i can tell you that so far at least 100 deaths later, i cannot find a way through the first section of matis lands. it seems nigh impossible to sneak through (and by the way sneaking is easiest accomplished solo)

so, if i were a matis, who got a free ride to trykerlands, id consider myself pretty fortunate. id visit every city in liberty lakes and buy at least a couple tickets , probly to fairhaven and avendale. then id set about learning how to get through lagoons of loria to the portal to my homelands. if i were into harvesting, id make a stop at the harvest trainer, and get the prospect and harvest spec stanzas. and go harvesting in loria before i left, to learn about that

then, when i decided i wanted to go home, id step through the matis portal, get killed, and then choose my respawn, now that im back in matis lands, all my matisland respawns are available.

i dont see the problem, i see a free gift, lucky you who got a free ride to foriegn lands. i gotta go it the hard way
