Fast Travel Idea

[Gdp203]

Okay now, i don't expect you to agree on all of my ideas but it would be nice if you get what I am saying. Okay, so lately I have been noticing how spread out cities and such are. I died a couple thousand blocks back and it pissed me off. So here is what i propose. On the server LotC there was a fast travel system. Each one went like this. There was boats which cost money, soulstones which were like the /sethome thing but couldn't be used to escape RP, then there were carriages which were free. Portals also were included but not as popular. Now since this server has no problem with magic and all i dont think it will affet the RP in anyway. For it is only to make people like me who have a serious lag on this server, atleast be able to have fun and enjoy RP without rage quiting about death. Let me explain how combat is for me..... IMPOSSIBLE. Yes thats my problem with traveling such long distances. Also sometimes the deaths seem real unfair for MOBS will sometimes just SPAWN out of nowhere and kill me while either AFK or in RP. Also i think the MOBS (my opinion) cause no type of fun for we are here for RP not survival. Yes i know you are going to call me a pussy but here is the thing. In Caelion we had to disable the MOBS because of the number of players and buildings. It also caused ALOT of lag. Maybe that is another reason it lags for people like me but yeah. Now back to fast travel. I hope you catch my drift in what i am trying to tell you but this traveling is quite frustrating to me and people like me who have serious lag in MP. Thank you to anyone who at least sees this in a open and new improvement idea way.

A lot of people don't realize the potential for the nether when travelling. The distance is 8 times less. I can travel from my town to my mob grinder in less than a minute, and that's on the opposite side of the world (5000+ blocks).

I like the idea of fast travel, but it's probably not going to happen. It's never really been a problem for me, personally, to go "let's walk a couple thousand blocks today to go into town." And that was when I had a computer that averaged around 25 fps on a good day. As to the mention of mobs spawning while you're afk or in roleplay, try not to go afk and carry a sword on you man! If I can fight fair enough at around 20 frames, you can fight about as well with whatever you get. Sorry if I was a little rude there, but I'm just trying to say how it's not all that hard to deal with this stuff.

EDIT: And like yotta said, nether travel makes things a LOT faster. I'm sure every town will have some sort of communal transit system via nether, hopefully with less grief than last time...

I have latency issues not FPS, i will give you a recording of me playing to prove how ANNOYING it is. I have people lag spiking, mobs lag spiking, you try killing mobs with those issues without rage quiting and almost leaving the server for good. Its not my fps nor is it the server, its my latency.

Well I'm sorry to break it to you but maybe you should just stay with single player games until you can get better latency :/

What i am trying to say is this server is WAY TO SPREAD OUT for a community so small. We only have 12 players at max playing and yet we have cities spread out. The nether i have not tried but what i am saying is it doesn't make sense to have such a big world for a small community.

I ran 5000 blocks in 4 minutes. Nether is op.

Nether doesn't make sense to me though because i dont know where im going, maybe im in the wrong one? I dont know.
