> One thing I didn’t like about UO was the ability to travel instantly from one place to another through the use of runes. I think in concept that's a good idea and would create some interesting situations, but I imagine it would get super old real quick. There were already people taking advantage of those ideas, i.e. PKs hanging out at the cross roads, and vendor shops being placed in high traffic locations. When you started the game, assuming you didn't have some IRL benefactor gift you stuff beyond your level/ability, you usually did start as a pedestrian having to walk and use moongates to travel. I personally thought filling your first runebook was a rite of passage and gave me a sense of accomplishment.
