I think that if you want people to populate all the Continent and not only Tar Valon, you should make horses cheaper. It makes no sense paying a pony 30 silver! When I can afford myself a real horse I won't have no more need to travel because I'll be levelled up already.

I support this! Or anything that will help make travel faster! I hate having to wait for the travel page to finish!
I think I already mentioned in the appropriate thread a long time ago that I'd love "channeler travel" for donations. I'd gladly pay you lots to be able to go where I wanted faster than today! People would still need to buy horses to get larger inventories, so it shouldn't impact things too much. (Oh, and in case war horse isn't necessary for the top inventory, either make it so, or display on the bio page what animal someone rides, then it becomes something to show off).
Hmm, I'll go see if I can't find that thread about donations, since I just had another idea that would be even more off-topic in this thread than my ramblings so far!

I will likely reduce travel time in v3 drastically, but it will still take a while to get from town to town (don't ask).
I keep meaning to add donator benefits, but it keeps getting pushed off for improvements for all. Maybe I'll add some in v3, though I wouldn't be surprised if it gets pushed off again. I'm already worried I'm biting off more than I can chew in v3, and I haven't even started coding changes for it yet...

Yay! (for the reduction of travel time, not for biting off more than can be chewed...) You just earned yourself some karma  |

Are we going to have to play a little game or something like how harvesting used to work in the much earlier versions or something? Hope not, as that idea would be more likely to make me stay in one place! At least currently I can travel somewhere and then go and look at another website while I wait to reach the new town... |

Oh gosh no. I will give Craig credit that it was a unique idea and a good effort to try and create something else to do, but the end result wasn't good for the game. I don't plan on adding resource gathering back any time soon, and if I ever do, there will be dramatic changes to it.

resource gathering could work if its just something you can upgrade and then leave, maybe something along the lines of you can open a shop and sell to the 'locals', and over time it generates a steady stream of income into your bank or something. And make it such that it costs quite a lot and takes at least a few weeks to pay back the investment or something.
