"If enough people play in GUK, there's a chance one of em will be a caster that can port. If you bound outside in the swamps, and wanted to get to freeport you could get a port to commonlands. This is assuming that there're so many people in guk that getting a port isn't hard. Otherwise, you'd have to run. If someone was going to routinely go to guk, they'd probably get a bind outside. Here again, though, how are they going to bank??? How are they going to sell??? (that's, without running across several zones)
Today 12:32 AM" Selling wasn't really the problem. Of course this was the day when you would periodically destroy your copper pieces. The merchant who was on top of the hand that sold the troll and ogre shaman dot spells would deal with anyone. Occasionally a moneylender druid would pop up too and change your gold into plat (for a fee of course). Ivandyr (think that was her name) the lady troll with her earring hand in quest may have been a merchant too, but I can't remember. And remember just prior to kunark was a different game. Literally everything in Upper Guk and L. Guk was permacamped. You could be a level one and probably walk around L. Guk safely during peak play time. If you had the plat finding a port wasn't a problem then. And going back to something someone wrote earlier in this thread most dungeons had some relatively safe spot to bind unless there was a train. Though most people would pick a safe spot outside the dungeon somewhere. Melees of course have to bind in a city. Though you can also bind in arena, and the gypsy camp in N. Karana. Maybe some other spots but I am not sure about the camp, that came later. Banking was a problem. Though there is a bank in Runnyeye. | ||

I'd be surprised if a melee couldn't bind very close to guk with the aid of a caster - that'd be news to me. | |||

I am fairly certain melee were limited to certain areas they could bind. I know there were some areas outside of cities that did get marked as bindable for melee, but most of the time it was limited to city areas.

Hmm, well just looked on net and a lot of resource sites are saying that if you cast bind on someone else you're limited to doing this in city zones and a few rare zones (like highpass). Funny that I could play so long, off and on for 10 years, and not notice this. I wonder if there're any zones or places where a melee could bind that noeone to this day knows about? I think it's sad that EQ never developed its bind system and/or expanded on it. I think the luclin spires and pok books were uninspired and don't incite the same kind of self-confidence that player-run traveling does. Did you know that on Firiona Vie all players were restricted to binding where melee's could bind: http://www.eqclerics.org/forums/arch...hp/t-4216.html Quote:
