Broken shuttle to other towns

[Rox]

The shuttle across other parts of the mud has been broken for many years. If this can be fixed, it will help newbies be able to explore other parts/town in the mud instead of just Mid/NT/Skara.

This is not broken, this is what was intended a few years ago. Only to have service to those towns. I have not been asked by any of the admin to change this.

[Dina (kailyn)]

This was intentionally disabled, but I have no objections to restoring it if there is a consensus that it would be in the best interests of the mud. If we do restore it, I would suggest that we appoint someone in charge of examining all of the previous exits and revising the room descriptions where necessary, since some where changed to reflect that the metro no longer stopped there, and also reviewing newer areas (added since the Metro was changed) to see if any of them should be added to the stops.

Needs tester to list all the exists and highlight those that will need changing if Metro is re-enabled. Please add details to this bug and assign to Dina once done.

Could I also please request feedback on whether others think restoring more Metro stops would be a desirable thing to do? (I don't see a downside, but I'd like to hear what others think.)

[James Gamble (gamrillen)]

What were the previous stops on the metro?

[Rox (mudict)]

I asked the mud about this and only 1 said they use shuttle. Believe this will benefit newbies if we have more newbies but basically helps newbies to explore. What will also help is speeding up the time it takes to get to these down so you don't have to wait for so long. Similar to shuttel to star wars, that area would be explored more if shuttle didn't take as long.

Previous stops that I can recall are to major towns like rhyo, sanc city, maybe ravenna, mahn tor or drake too.
I'm just trying to think when I was a newbie, I'd take the shuttle all the time to avoid dt's that I don't know.

Most newbies hit a dt and quit and this provides them with a safe haven to explore.

I just thought of an idea..."DT free card for level 10 and below?" to help newbies explore. Or maybe level 10 and below can never hit a dt? I don't know just thinking out loud.

[Jam (jediguts)]

I never understood the rationale of why the metro stops were taken out, but thats ok...

NT, Mid, Skara are already there...

Sanctuary - on way to wayhouse
Rhyo - had a DT right next to it... kinda silly.
Arctic - was only way to get pets out when Remorahz door key wasn't loaded or use a trump.

Maybe a stop to Arcadia can be added as a way to be inclusive of 1remort chars if Arcadia is detached.

What a great Idea for < lvl 10! for DTs

There was also a stop out near the Wamphyri Aerie.
It seems to me there was one more in there somewhere. But... hmm...

I don't think Drake was ever on the list, but I've been gone a while.
