Poll: How do you want p1999 to end?

[Fanguru]

Except some porters making a business out of this, and the rare few bound at firepots, who enjoys the current pre-pok books travelling system?

Casters have to find ports to get places.
Melees have to find ports in and out of zones.
Wizards and druids get unwanted tell spam.

Constantly looking for ports, especially as a melee raider camping out all the time, sucks.
It does not provide any meaningful interaction with the porter ("Hi, can you pick me up at IC? Going to CS" ... "Thanks"), it created the donation racket, it is a tedious waste of time and plat.

Even with PoK books, ports still make sense to reach some places. It's not like you can click a PoK books to instantly go anywhere: you still have to reach one of them, run to the next, then run to your destination.

Finally, PoK made a huge hub, gathering people who actually interacted and had a chat.
